iPhone users, this is for you. The Mophie Juice Pack Air is the thinnest external battery for the iPhone 3G and it also makes a good case. The new Juice Pack Air will improve from its previous version (Juice Pack) and is now available for pre-ordering in black, purple or white versions. The Juice Pack Air will have a rechargeable 1,200 mAh battery that "virtually doubles the amount of time you have to rock, talk, surf, and send messages." They will be officially released this Spring on both Mophie's website and in Apple stores.

You may know Mitsubishi as the creator of the LaserVue HDTVs; you may also know them as the car makers. Either way, they are suspending the production of their LaserVue HDTVs until early 2009. Technically, early 2009 is right now, but i guess they meant sometime between now and mid-2009. They aren't entirely discontinuing the line, so don't panic, they're just suspending the production for a bit.

Currently, there is no word on these LCD HDTVs coming to America (let alone Canada), but they are available in Korea. The LG LH30FD LCD HDTVs will have 3 sets of picture modes, 3 HDMI sockets and a "four-step power saving mode that can purportedly 'reduce power consumption by to 70 percent.'" If you live in Seoul, you can get one later this month for $1,725 USD for the 47-inch model, $1,186 USD for the 42-inch model, and $862 USD for the 32-inch model.

There is a rumour going around that Asus will raise its prices on their EEE models next month, March 1st to be exact. The "existing and upcoming notebooks and EEE family products" are expected to increase up to 20% in price. Asus USA has stepped up and denied these rumours. Although, Gizmodo points out that the rumour could still be true, since Asus' decisions are mainly made overseas.

If you've pre-ordered your copy of Pokemon Platinum, you may be in luck. Nintendo is said to be rewarding those who have pre-ordered with a "limited edition Giratina Origin Form figure." This figure will be about 2.75 inches tall. As of right now, there is no word on which retailers will be handing out these figurines, so good luck.
