Panasonic has just unveiled three of their new Viera tablets at CES and they're actually set to be a TV companion. They're all Android-based and hook up wirelessly to the TV [and other devices] using Viera Connect. These tablets will come in 4, 7, and 10-inch models but the rest of the hardware is the same. Pricing and the release date are still unannounced so we'll have to wait for that.

Panasonic has just updated their own VIERA Full HD 3DTV line-up and they're all plasma displays. The new Panasonic GT25 Series will come in 42 and 50-inches and sports an MSRP of $1,699.95 and $2,099.95, respectively. They'll both be available later this month but let's briefly go through their spec sheets before we jump aboard. They both sport a Full HD (1,920 x 1,080 resolution) display, VIERA CAST Internet access (streaming Netflix, Pandora, YouTube), Skype video calls (if you buy the webcam), a USB port, and it will convert your 2D content to 3D for you.

Panasonic has unveiled more 3DTVs as a part of their Viera line-up and they'll be hitting Japan in late August. Dubbed the 3D Viera RT2B plasma TVs they sport an integrated Blu-ray recorder, an HDD recorder, and you'll need to use active shutter 3D glasses for the effect. These TVs will come in 42 and 46-inch models and they'll be available in Japan starting on August 27th. The pricing is officially unknown but rumour has it that the larger model will be available for the equivalent of $5,100 USD.

Panasonic has just announced their 42 and 46-inch models of their Viera 3DTVs and they'll be hitting Japan. They'll be priced at ¥350,000 ($3,833 USD) and ¥300,000 ($3,285 USD), respectively. These 3D plasma HDTVs are set to invade the Japanese market starting on July 30th. After that date though, you can expect them to hit the US as well, but they'll likely be cheaper so that's a good thing.

Panasonic has just announced two more of their TVs that will be hitting Japan in a couple of months. These are both a part of their VIERA Series and it comes in 32 and 37-inch sizes. Both of them sport a 20,000:1 contrast ratio, speakers, two HDMI ports, an SD/SDXC card slot, DLNA support, VIERA link, an integrated Blu-ray recorder, YouTube support, and LAN. These TVs also feature an HDD inside with Skype pre-installed, but you'll need to purchase Panasonic's TV camera because it doesn't come with it, which sucks. The main difference between these two is that the smaller 32-inch model has a 1,366 x 768 resolution while the larger 37-inch model has a Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) resolution.

Both of these TVs will be available in Japan starting on July 9th; they'll be going for $2,100 and $2,700, respectively.

It looks like Panasonic has just priced and dated their upcoming 3D plasma HDTVs. They all feature a Full HD resolution, a 5,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and VIERA Cast WiFi along with Skype support. Of course, for all of these 3DTVs you'll need Active Shutter Eyewear to see 3D and there's only one in the box. Unfortunately, if you want to get more they cost $149.95 separately.

The 50 (TC-P50VT25) and 54-inch (TC-P54VT25) models will be available in the week on May 3rd and they'll be available for $2,599.95 and $2,999.95, respectively. The 58 (TC-P58VT25) and 65-inch (TC-P65VT25) models will be available later on in June 2010 and they'll be priced at $3,399.95 and $4,299.95, respectively.

Activision CFO, Thomas Tippl, has confirmed that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will "definitely be arriving this holiday season and is, apparently, 'looking incredible.'" This is great news, for all of you Call of Duty fans. I would be one too, but i don't have a next-gen console. Someone buy me a PS3 please, i beg of you.

Word is spreading about the Cupcake Android update and apparently it is going to be released on the T-Mobile G1 sometime in April. This is good news for you G1 users out there, but it is not entirely confirmed. I've read that everyone is waiting for this update because it's just that good. I don't know exactly what the new changes in Cupcake are, but i'm sure if you're a T-Mobile G1 owner, you already know what they are.

Google has just released a new feature in Google Reader. You can now comment on other users' shared items on Google Reader. The feature was just released today so what you can comment on is still limited, but it's a decent feature. Although, I don't think I'll be using it or will I be receiving comments on any of my shared items, but it doesn't really matter to me. The only thing I share on Google Reader are my blog posts anyway.
