Are you a camera aficionado? You know, because if you are, you could drop $7000 to pay for the Leica M9 B&H preorder. Of course, for that price, you would probably get a half-decent car, not to mention in home air conditioning. If megapixels is your thing, you would be glad to know that the Leica M9 sports an 18-megapixel resolution.

Philips has unveiled 2 rather interesting new models in its LED HDTV line up, namely the 40PFL9704 and the 46PFL9704. These TVs boast “LED Pro” which is Philips’ next generation LED backlight technology. Aside from that, you’ll find better contrast ratio, 200Hz refresh rate and it’s claimed to be 50 percent more power efficient than your standard LCD TV. There are also a whooping 5 HDMI ports on this TV, and you’ll also get Philips’ online NetTV service. You’ll have to dig deep to pick these up though, as they’ll be priced at £1,799 and £2,499 when they’re launched in December, just in time for Christmas.

Sony certainly thinks that the future lies in 3D technology even when you're viewing your favorite sitcom right in the comfort of your living room. In order to accentuate their faith in 3D technology, they placed 70 LED displays together at the International Broadcast Equipment Exhibition 2009 in Japan, where you'll need to wear a pair of dorky-looking glasses to enjoy the benefits of 3D shows.

Where do you draw the line when it comes to the screen size of a portable media player? We are inclined to think that the Bmorn BM-870 does not qualify although it claims to be one, as it has a massive 8.9" display which supposedly offers full HD playback - hopefully the display has the necessary pixel support to keep you entertained in high definition.

No, we're not talking about the iPhone getting its very own built-in projector here, but the HypnosEye can connect to your iPhone, iPod touch or other mobile devices while projecting it via a separate light source by using a special anti-glare mirror and lens to blow up the screen onto a projection surface. The HypnosEye claims that you are able to project an image from 17? to 45? diagonal from a projection distance of 0.5 to 2 meters away, but that remains to be seen until tested. Needless to say, you'll need to reduce the lights to a very dim level in order to see your images. Each purchase of the HypnosEye kit is equipped with both the projection lens unit and a portable 17? diagonal projection surface, retailing for $80 a pop.

The Archos 5 tablet has received its latest firmware update, bumping up the version number to 1.3.07, where among the long list of changes and fixes include improved support for MP4 and MKV videos, fixed playback resolution issues and fixed support for full screen playback of YouTube and YouTube HD content. Apart from that, you can now output content via the Archos 5's TV-out capability via the battery dock or mini dock if Standard Definition is your cup of tea, while HD videos can be handled through the HDMI mini dock and DVR station. The firmware update can be downloaded directly via its built-in device settings, or you can take the traditional manual updating route from the Archos website.

Fuji's Instax instant camera might lead some to compare it with the PoGo, but don't be disappointed to know that the Instax has half the functionality of the PoGo (which in turn is reflected in its price), although it looks much cuter in essence. $20 will net you 20 exposures which is pretty expensive where dollars and cents are concerned, where it comes equipped with a wide-angle lens, a built-in flash and a quartet of exposure settings. This will target entry level shutterbugs, but the high price to pay to relive Polaroid's heydays in today's digital world? We'll pass.

Cisco is set to roll out an all new Wi-Fi-enabled Flip digital camcorder sometime in the first half of next year onwards, taking advantage of Cisco's own networking technology ever since it brought Pure Digital under its wings via a multi-million dollar deal earlier this year. There is very little word on specifications concerning this camcorder, but we do know that it will come with a large display that can slide open to reveal both record and menu buttons underneath. You won't get touchscreen functionality with this though, which is also a good thing since it would mean having to spend less on the final product when available. It looks as though all recorded footage can be uploaded directly from the camcorder via Wi-Fi networks.

Juicy Couture has rolled out its digital picture frame that boasts an antiqued goldtone resin frame that ought to accentuate any image it displays. You get a 2GB memory card to get you started, while a stand makes sure it is ready to greet any newcomers to your abode. You can place a pre-order for the Juicy Couture Digital Picture Frame as it ships at the end of this month for $148.

Samsung has released yet another paper cutter R0 portable media player that ought to get by just nice, although it won't offer any earth shaking experience with its 2.6" TFT LCD display, a microSD memory card slot, an integrated FM radio, a text and photo viewer, video codec support for popular formats and a choice of Indie Black, Techno Silver and Rap Pink colors. Arriving in a South Korea-only flavor, you can choose from 4GB and 8GB models that go for $120 and $155, respectively.

Yet another portable media player, the RAmos T9HD, is caught on video. Powered by a Rockchip RK2806 chipset, the T9HD will come equipped with a 4.3" touchscreen display at 800 × 480 resolution, support for 720p video playback, compatibility with a host of popular video formats, TV out and 8GB of internal memory. It will retail for approximately $102 after conversion. Apparently, the user interface will make allowances for drag-and-drops where appropriate.

Newman's latest portable media player, the A36HD has just arrived in China. What makes this alluring is its thinness of a mere 8mm, where they managed to miraculously cram in hardware specifications including a 3" LCD display at 400 x 240 resolution, 4GB/8GB internal memory, USB 2.0 connectivity, a TV out jack, integrated speakers, support for a wide range of audio and video files, and a music search function for easier location of your audio tracks. No touchscreen with this though if you're looking for one. Now if only these Chinese manufacturers can come up with a killer user interface...

Ainol is yet another Chinese manufacturer that comes up with ho-hum portable media players, but this time round their V9000 seems to raise the bar a fair bit. Why do we say so? Well, it does take on the 4.8" capacitive touchscreen challenge this time round, where you will also find the new SoChip SC9800 chip within which helps it handle full HD video playback at 1080p with aplomb, accompanied by an HDMI output. Hopefully the UI seen here will be realized in the final product.

Guess MSI doesn't just make notebooks, eh? Their latest foray would be the MT-V887 portable media player that rides on the HD wave. You will be pleased to know that the MSI MT-V887 comes with H.264 codec and 720p support, while its Rockchip RK2728B chipset makes sure it is capable of handling all popular audio and video file formats playback without missing a beat. Other features include a choice of 4GB or 8GB for internal storage, an integrated FM radio, USB 2.0 connectivity and a TF memory card, while a 4.3" display at 480 x 272 resolution rounds off the list of features. No idea on pricing or availability as at press time.
