Not like the LG-KC910 needed any confirmation—it was far from being vaporware like other leakages in the electronics niche. Nevertheless, official announcements never fail to get my motor running, knowing that soon we’d see the handset for ourselves.

The successor to the well-received LG VIEWTY, LG-KC910 is an 8 megapixel camera phone with a 3-inch WQVGA full touchscreen display. The camera also uses Schneider-Kreuznach certified optics as well as xenon flash, and boasts an ISO sensitivity up to 1600. Other features include auto-focus, face and smile recognition, image stabilization, and blink detection. Video recording has an impressive 5fps up to 120fps range so users can record both in slow and fast motion. Additionally, a-GPS is included in the package for geo-tagging. It’s irking that LG forgot to mention the expected retail price, but at least we know that the LG-KC910 starts shipping on October at some part of the world that is probably not ours.

Denver, CO - Officials at D-Box swear that they have nothing to with Justin Timberlake, SNL, or obscenely funny lyrics.

But they easily will vouch for the strangely weird awesomeness of their motion-based entertainment center, believe it or not. The company encodes movies with programmable motions embedded within race car simulators and furniture, which allows people to shake to the sound of their favorite movie or game.

Earlier today, D-Box released new plush motion chairs that promise more shakes than ever, while keeping them plain and stylish enough that they'll work in a sober, non-gaming environment. They also said they've improved the movements to understand even smaller detailed beats.

The D-Box experience is very much like having the old Days of Thunder ride at Great America in your living room – you feel uncomfortable at first, then you get into it and ride, and when you get up, you immediately feel dizzy and want to get on again.

The whole set-up requires a few processes. First, an engineer from D-Box inserts 124 programmable movements for every frame rate in a movie (or game), mixing and matching close to 4000 different tiny moves to the correct move needed. Then, a motion bearing (see pic above) is attached to the chassis of a body, be it a plastic car or a souped-up couch. Then, you add them together and madness ensues.

Testing at the booth consisted mainly of loud and heavy music, but we would have liked to try the chairs with a few subtle, bass-heavy tracks, or even a game with an ambitious score, like Legend of Zelda. In the meantime, I can tell my niece that this probably better than anything they have at Chuck E’ Cheese's.
