Acer has just launched its H7531F – a home theater projector with native 1080p resolution (Full HD) and, according to Acer, a contrast ratio of 50,000:1 (dynamic), a daylight-suitable brightness of 2,000 ANSI lumens and true 24p playback features.

H7531D Acer offers two HDMI ports, D-Sub (VGA), component video, composite video and S-Video ports. The operating noise of the projector to offer at 26 dBA (Eco mode) or 30 dBA (standard mode). The lifetime of the installed Osram lamp is up to 4,000 hours according to Acer.

Thanks to wall color correction, the projector works on colored surfaces by automatically adjusting a bright image display. Hearing impaired will benefit from the closed captioning function,  in which the dialogue and non-spoken audio elements are displayed as text.

H7531D has Acer’s “EcoProjection Management,” thanks to which the projector automatically switches to ECO mode (-20 per cent energy consumption), when five minutes have passed with no input signal. After a longer period of time without a signal it will automatically shut down.

Acer H7531D should be available now in piano black and white and comes with a two year warranty (one-year warranty for the lamp). The DLP chip gets a 5-year warranty.

Sony is on track with a new portable console that will take up the fight with the Nintendo 3DS.

According to the latest information, the new PSP model (presently known as NGP – Next Generation Portable) is capable of Playstation 3 graphic with a touch screen and touch pad on the back and a bigger screen than its predecessor. The software will take on a smartphone approach instead of the old PSP layout.

It will also have two analog sticks, two cameras front and back and gyro, so on the whole it’s very similar to a smartphone. OLED screen is a must these days and it will have a 960×544 resolution.

Above we see two rendered images of what would be the HP WebOS tablet. It comes with a 9-inch screen and the model in the picture above is known as Topaz inside HP’s walls. It will be launched together with a 7-inch version, which HP calls Opal. The two models will come equipped with a micro USB port and a video call camera. We do not know whatelse  is hiding inside the product’s glossy exterior.

According to Engadget, which published the pictures, we will see HP Palm tablets land in stores sometime later this year, likely in September. The two models will be launched in several different versions; some with only Wi-Fi and a couple with UMTS and a EV-DO modem. The models will no doubt be presented at HP’s WebOS-event.

Windows Mobile 7 also integrates with Xbox Live, Windows Live, Ask.com and Zune.

The Windows Phone also features applications such as a flashlight function, stock and weather apps and an animated notepad. Images are recorded via the integrated camera and can be edited with the HTC photo enhancement app. Videos in 720p can be recorded and uploaded directly to video portals and SRS surround supposedly delivers a better sound.

JVC has announced two new car audio receivers, characterized by dual AUX inputs and prepared to connect to optional Bluetooth adapter KS-BTA100. The KD-R421 also features a USB slot, as well as MP3 and WMA file compatibility.

The small KS-BTA100 Bluetooth adapter is connected to the rear auxiliary input and offers added functionality. Besides the central phone button there are streaming audio buttons available.

The CD receiver integrates a 4x 50 watts MOS-FET amplifier, a 2.5-V line output, an HS-IVi tuner with RDS, a 24-bit D/A converter and a parametric 3-band IEQ Equalizer. The CD reads CDs, CD-Rs and CD-RWs and can play MP3 and WMA files.

A touch of a button and the dial is used to set the display brightness in 32 steps. Six different beeps to facilitate the operation of the receiver. With an optional adapter, the KD-R421 can also be controlled by the original vehicle steering wheel remote control. A wireless remote control is also optional.

Pocketnow recently published the three seen above. The images, which allegedly shows us the next three Android -powered phones from HTC , do not give us that much information. The phone on the far left looks to be a sequel to the HTC Smart. In the middle of the picture we see a phone that looks to be a sequel to the HTC Wildfire. Far right, it looks as if we are dealing with a sequel to the HTC Desire. In other words, there’s a chance that the phone on the far right comes with a 3.7″ (3.8″ or 4″ is also possible) screen. In such a case is likely that the phone in the middle has a 3.2-inch or perhaps slightly larger display. And the one on the left probably 2.8″. Interestingly, all the phones seem to come with a video chat camera. These phones would then be HTC’s first Android phones with dual cameras.

At CES CyberLink presented plans for an autostereoscopic PowerDVD – enabling 3D Blu-ray playback for desktop and notebook PCs without neither active or passive glasses. Among the solutions that can deal with the new PowerDVD version is 3DeeFlector including Spatial View, the display 215FS01 from CPT and the 3d-rig from SeeFront.

Although details are scarce, a previous statement is that “The Notebook 3DeeFlector offers manufacturers a cost-effective and easy way to expand their products to view autostereoscopic 3D,” according to Ihor Petelycky, Spatial View.

“We are seeing an increasing need for vivid 3D playback without disturbing eyeglasses,” said Christoph M. Gross, founder and CEO of SeeFront. “By working with CyberLink we can combine true 3D effects with freedom of movement in all directions to create the ultimate 3D impression.”

In the case of the solution from Chunghwa Picture Tubes (CPT), it is a 21.5-inch-wide LCD ( CLAA215FS01 ) with a native resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels, a contrast ratio of 1,000:1 and 72-percent color saturation and a LVDS interface ( Barrier 3D). Currently it is unclear whether the display is to use solutions from Spatial View or SeeFront.

CyberLink has so far been silent about when the new version of PowerDVD will come on the market. The software is very likely to be bundled with the solutions from Spatial View, SeeFront and CPT.
