Samsung quietly expands its 3D Blu-ray player lineup with a few updated models
Don’t be surprised to see a couple of new Samsung Blu-ray players on the shelf at local or online retailers while shopping, as it’s rolling out new 3D capable models in the BD-C5900, BD-C6800 and BD-C7900. The $399 (MSRP) BD-C7900 updates the older BD-C6900 with two HDMI outs, useful for those with an older receiver that isn’t HDMI 1.4 compatible , while the $279 BD-C6800 seems to have all the features of the BD-C6900 except for that porthole on top, and comes in at a lower price

Cowon’s V5W PMP: a V5 with 100 percent more WiFi
What do you get when you marry a V5 with WiFi? Why, a V5W, of course! Cowon’s sexy V5 portable media player — a device we (mostly) loved on back in March — has just gained the primary feature that we argued should’ve been included from the start.
Burger King uses ‘musical shower’ as latest trick to entice Japanese clientele
A new Burger King eatery opening up in Japan isn’t usually something we concern ourselves too much with, but this one comes with an interesting new twist. Those umbrella-aping translucent cones hanging over the tables are known as “musical showers,” and their function is to deliver music in an isolated fashion to you and your significant — but not too significant, it’s still BK, after all — other.
Qualcomm demos augmented reality and peer-to-peer tech, tries to punch cellular gaming’s block off (video)
It’s just a tablecloth and a piece of paper, until you pull out a Nexus One , at which point it magically becomes an arena where toy robots fire off punches.
