Korean Samsung and LG Phones Features in CNN

Back in April, Korean Electronics company LG recruited YG Entertainment artists Big Bang and 2NE1 to sponsor and advertise their new Lollipop phone. On October 20th, CNN aired a segment on what many have called "Asia's most wired city" and sent reporter Kristie Lu to Seoul, Korea.

The segment basically talks about the phones in Korea and why Korean electronics companies Samsung (world's largest conglomerate, world's largest electronics company, and world's second largest mobile phone manufacturer) and LG (large conglomerate, one of the world's largest electronics companies, and world's third-biggest maker of mobile phones) are the ones dominating the market there. The answer given was because of the marketing / celebrity endorsements by Samsung's Anycall Haptic and LG's Lollipop. After this, a small portion of the Lollipop MV was played.

Even though it was for a few seconds, I thought it was pretty cool to see Big Bang and 2NE1 on CNN. Rain / Bi is also scheduled to be on CNN's Talk Asia soon. Also check out the BBVIP Forums and YG Ladies Forum.

Sharper Image Movie/Video Game Projector

Projectors are starting to become very popular with the average consumer, and this particular one is low-priced and just what the average consumer needs.

After all, most consumers just want a way to view their personal DVDs and home movies on a bigger screen. The Sharper Image Entertainment Projector for Movies and Video Games is perfect for this. All that is required of the user is to hook the Projector to a DVD player or gaming station via included cable, and plug it in with the included AC cord.

According to the site, it is best viewed from six feet away. I had a chance to try it out for myself. I held it back more than six feet away from a blank wall, and I was able to get a pretty decent image.

The Projector also has a terrific handle that doubles as a stand for it. The Projector easily pivots, and it is possible for the user to adjust it so it is projected on the ceiling. It even comes with a remote control for power, volume, contrast, and color.

Granted, I wish this Projector could easily connect to an average computer without having to purchase special adapters, such as the 3M MPro 120. I guess you can’t have it both ways. At least the sound is considerably better than the aforementioned projector.

You should be able to purchase the Sharper Image Entertainment Projector from the Sharper Image site for about $129.99. It won’t be available until November 12th, though.
