In 4GB black ($167) or 2 GB ($125) white flavors, the T.sonic 840 comes in a sleeker package with a 1.8-inch 220 x 176 pixel resolution color LCD, audio/video supporting MTV, JPG, BMP, MP3, WMA, WMA-DRM10, and WAV formats. You can even read e-books with it and it also has a handy lyrics display, FM radio and recorder, a world clock along with 13-language interface, digital voice recorder, and the best of all – a supposed run time of 30 hours between charges.

It’s extremely low-end, offering only 15fps on a 1.8 128X128 resolution LCD, and it only has 1GB of RAM. But hey, it’ll play video underwater, and there may be somebody for whom that’ll be the deal-breaker. Nothing yet on price or availability.

Samsung is showing off more on its third-generation Blu-ray player lineup, including a home theater-in-a-box system, and the sweet Duo HD dual-format HD DVD / Blu-ray players.

One of the main selling points for Apple’s iPhone was the YouTube application and it made other cell phone companys quiver.  Well, Samsung is up for the battle and the war over easy accessibility has just begun.  Samsung is introducing the SGH-L760, a 3G phone that allows you to record video from the phone itself and upload it directly to YouTube, uBlog and Buzznet.  It should be decent enough for all you YouTube fanatics to upload random videos throughout the day. 

The phone is a slider, featuring a 2 megapixel camera, FM radio, Bluetooth, MP3 Player, web browser, and an expandable memory card slot for your microSD card.  The bad news, it’s being released to the European market first. 

By the way, LG just announced a partnership with Google for YouTube enabled phones. These two companies are tag teaming against Apple, putting them against the ropes.
