<P align=center><img alt="" border="0" hspace="4" src="http://img862.imageshack.us/img862/9495/optimus2xexpansys.jpg" vspace="4"></P>The world's most adored across-the-pond mobile retailer has just received its first batch of LG superphones, a gem by the name of Optimus 2X. As you well know by now, the company's playing this up as the planet's first dual-core smartphone, and while we'd hoped that the Tegra 2-based device would be everywhere by now, at least it's sticking to its scheduled release date over in Europe. Those interested in picking one up can get a SIM-free version headed their way for £449.99, while a free-on-contract affair can be had with T-Mobile, Vodafone and a host of others. Your credit card's been awful naughty of late -- dish out a little punishment by visiting the source link below. <BR><BR><br /><P><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/01/lgs-dual-core-optimus-2x-superphone-now-available-from-expansys/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">via</A></P>

KinEmote: Kinect gesture control for Boxee and XBMC media centers now available (video)

<div><img alt="" border="1" hspace="4" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/12/youtube---kinemote-public-beta---control-boxee--xbmc-with-microsoft-kinect.jpg" vspace="4" /></div><br /> We've seen plenty of Kinect hacks over the last few weeks -- trouble is, beyond the initial <i>wow</i> factor they're just not very useful on a daily basis. That situation just changed, however, with the release of KinEmote, a free public beta that lets Windows users navigate XBMC and Boxee menus using nothing but hand gestures. Better yet, the software is built around OpenNI and NITE middleware from PrimeSense, the company behind the Project Natal reference gear. It certainly looks impressive in the video after the break. Good enough that we suspect many of you will hit up the source link below instead of finishing up your last minute holiday shopping -- hey, Santa can wait, this is progress!

The application has been in public beta for over two years, and an iOS version of Dropbox came out about a year after the public beta began. <br /><P></P><br /><P>Dropbox reaching 1.0 is more than a numerical milestone for its developers. They've also made hundreds of bug fixes, reduced resource usage (memory usage in particular has been reduced by 50 percent), and made tweaks to the interface to make it more user-friendly. The most intriguing new feature is Selective Sync, which allows users to choose which of their Dropbox folders to sync to their devices, which the developers say will come in handy on netbooks or other devices with limited storage space.</P><br /><P>You can get Dropbox 1.0 here. If you're not already running Dropbox, now's the perfect time to give it a shot -- the program is so good that many people have wondered why Apple hasn't bought it yet and incorporated it into Mac OS X.</P>

Boy, we hope not, because E FUN's Next3 is just one of many being announced in time for CES 2011. As you may have gleaned from the headline, the Nextbook Next3 runs Android 2.1 and has the usual array of specs for its $230 price -- a resistive, 800x400-resolution 8.4-inch display, a 600MHz Rockchip processor, WiFi 802.11 b/g, 2GB of onboard storage, and an SD card slot. From the looks of the pictures in the gallery and the short press release after the break, it seems to be positioned as more of an e-reader than a tablet -- you know, with its integrated Borders eBook Store and all -- but you should be able to surf the web and watch some videos on it. No word on what apps are preloaded, but naturally there's Market access. We're going to call a spade a spade here, and say this thing looks a heck of a lot like the Pandigital Novel and Velocity Micro Cruz Reader, but we'll be checking it out in Vegas in a few weeks to get a confirmation on that. Don't let that stop you from ordering one today, though -- it's only $200 at HSN right now.

Get with the times, man. The Equus ("echoos") is legitimately high-end, and not just because each and every one comes with a 16GB WiFi iPad pre-loaded with the car's owners manual. Naturally this isn't just a boring stack of info that you'll only pull out to look up tire pressures and engine oil capacity -- oh no. This is a properly interactive experience showing you how the directional headlights work, providing videos of various interior configurations (including the reclining "First Class" rear seats with legrests), and even offering what looks to be something of a driving game. Sure, it's no Real Racing</EM>, but it is free, and you can check it out in the App Store now. Or, you can just live vicariously through the video below.

You'll also now get extensions, along with a new and improved (and "safer") address bar, and a so-called "mail panel" that's basically a built-in email client.

<img src="http://cdn.mos.techradar.com/classifications/Mobile%20Phones/Google/Nexus_S4x3-200-200.jpg"> <br /><P>The Carphone Warehouse has announced that pre-orders on four networks for the <a href="">forthcoming Google Nexus S</A> have now gone live.</P><br /><P><STRONG>UPDATE:</STRONG> TechRadar spoke to The Carphone Warehouse, which confirmed a 'huge interest' in the device to us:</P><br /><P>"The Google Nexus S is a game-changer for Android so it's great to see so many networks getting behind it. We've seen huge interest in the phone over the last few days since pre-ordering began at The Carphone Warehouse," a spokesperson told Techradar.</P><br /><P>"We now have a great offering of Android handsets which will continue to grow in the New Year."</P><br /><P>The phone will be <a href="http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mobiles/mobile-phones/NEXUS-S-FROM-GOOGLE?intcmp=hp-hp-bnr-v1-1163">available to buy both on contract or PAYG/SIM free</A>, with the former costing £35 per month for a free phone - O2, Vodafone, T-Mobile and Orange are supporting the phone, but Three is nowhere to be seen.</P><br /><P>However, while £35 per month does get you a plethora of minutes and unlimited texts, the most you can get data-wise is 750MB included.</P><br /><P><STRONG>Go big for a gig</STRONG></P><br /><P>To get over 1GB allowance, you'll need to sign up to a £50 a month deal, which seems a little extreme, and will hopefully be updated when the networks start offering it directly (if they ever do).</P><br /><P>SIM free the Google Nexus S will cost £549.95, with the PAYG curiously the same, but with a mandatory £10 top up - usually paying a network for the phone will get you a micro-discount at least.</P><br /><P>Still, there's not long to wait, as the Google Nexus S UK release date is set for 20 December - enough time to blackmail Santa (with those photos of him bothering that OTHER reindeer) into bringing you one.</P>

Read more to fund out.<a name="more"></A><BR>Gucci tells us that these pair of glasses have "optically-correct" 6-base curved lenses. Now what in the world does that mean?

The other side of the glasses, on the other hand, have a "multi-layered mirror coating" which would make the glasses act as a mirror without any distortion. The question is, are you willing to spend that much for these pair of 3D glasses? Just make sure that you don't leave them at the cinemas.<BR><BR></P>
