LG promised an OLED TV by the end of the year and it looks like they're going to pull through. LG will be launching their first OLED TV in December of this year and it will be hitting Korea first. The OLED TV is expected to be 15-inches and will probably have a: 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, a 1,366 x 768 resolution, and a 30,000-hour life expectancy, since that's what they showed off in January. The price has not been mentioned, but let's hope it's not $2,500 USD like the Sony XEL-1.

Now this is exactly what I am looking for. After recent tests by Laptop Mag, the Toshiba NB205 netbook got a whopping 8 hours and 33 minutes of battery life - in real-time!! They claimed 9.5-hours, so this isn't bad. I've been waiting for the first netbook to break 8 hours and it's finally here. The Toshiba NB205 comes with fairly regular netbook specs: a 10-inch display, Intel Atom N280 1.66GHz CPU, a 160GB HDD, 1GB of RAM, and it's running Windows XP. The other feature that attracts me is the chiclet keyboard.

If this was the first week of September, I would definitely go out and get one of these netbooks. But, I'm sure by then, we'll have a better netbook for me to go out and buy. Technology just evolves that fast. Let's hope that this starts a wave of netbooks with better battery life.
