It looks like LG is getting set to release a new
Prada-esque keypad-less phone, with its hereto unheard of KU990 model recently landing in the hands of the folks at Clipset.net. Apparently, this is one of the forthcoming YouTube-enabled handsets
recently mentioned by the company, meaning that it’ll not only be able to play YouTube videos but let users submit videos to the site straight from the phone as well. Otherwise, the phone’s big selling points are its ample 5-megapixel camera and
HSDPA connectivity, not to mention its sizeable 3-inch touchscreen. Rounding out the specs, you’ll get a built-in FM radio, MP3 player, microSD card slot, and an array of pre-loaded applications, including the Muvee video editing app. No word on pricing or availability, though it certainly doesn’t seem like it’s all that far off. Hit up the link below for more pics and a video showing off the phone from every angle.

It looks like Switzerland is going down a road other countries have traveled before, with a Federal Court now confirming a tax on digital audio players and other devices that had originally been slated to go into effect in March of 2006. That date ended up being pushed back after complaints from various groups, some of whom deemed the tax to be too high while others thought it was too low, according to SwissInfo. The court apparently found the tax to be just right though, and it’s now set to go into effect next month, tacking anywhere from $25 to $75 onto the price of various audio devices, including flash and hard drive-based digital music players, as well as other hard drive-based audio/video recorders. Seems like our gadget-happy Swiss friends just can’t catch a break these days.

11:34AM PDT We’re taking our seats at the Nintendo press conference. Meaning we’re sitting down and not, you know, exhibiting kleptomaniac tendencies. Stay tuned!
8:42AM PDT - Entering the auditorium, we’re greeted (assaulted?) by the family-friendly sounds of the Monkeys’ “I’m a Believer.”
8:49AM PDT - Giant screens flanking the main stage share a dozen plus shots of various demographics all enjoying the pick up and play experience offered by the Wii and DS … or something. No one up there looks like us … they’re all well groomed and a significant percentage of them enjoy senior citizen mass transit discounts.

Nintendo’s Wii Zapper and Wii Wheel are great and all, but what’s really going to get those casual gamers flocking is this here Wii Fit game and its accompanying controller. A sort of Wii counterpart to Nintendo’s brain-sharpening DS thrust, the Wii Balance Board is a Reebok Step look-alike, with dual sensors that can detect your weight and balance on each side as you exercise to the various on-screen Wii activities in Wii Fit. The board is wireless, and holds the potential of full-body games involving the Wiimote and the Wii Balance Board simultaneously. If you’ve had enough gaming, you can also have the Balance Board diagnose your body mass index. Or not. No word on when these two will launch, or for how much. Plenty of action shots after the break.

Let’s not bandy about here, we’re pretty much God’s gift to green shell snipes, and hook us up with a few red shells and perhaps a banana or two and you can pretty much kiss your Flower Cup goodbye. Nintendo just announced some extensive online functionality for its upcoming Wii-based Mario Kart title, including an undisclosed amount of “more” online competitors, which is always a plus. Nintendo is also packing a free Wii Wheel with each copy of the game to help ease the newbs into the Kart action. No word on how much the new wheel will cost on its own, but we’ll be seeing both it and Mario Kart in the first quarter of 2008. More pics after the break.

It took them a while, but Nintendo is finally busting out its Wii Zapper accessory for housing the Wiimote and Nunchaku in a FPS-friendly shell. It’ll be out this year, shipping for free with a “far along” unannounced title from Nintendo, and selling stand alone at retail for $20. Other games with announced compatibility include “Ghost Squad,” “Medal of Honor” with 32 person online matches, and “Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles.” More pics after the break.

The single picture of the Sidekick Slide from Danger (alias “Zante” in codename parlance) posted yesterday on Boy Genius Report left us wanting for… oh, say, 27 more pictures, to be precise. That gallery is now live, showing the Motorola “M” logo (a first for a Danger device) in all its metallic glory, some comparo shots to a Sidekick 3, and — of course — the obligatory iPhone shot. Check it out!
