Cranking out news for the geeks, music buffs and gossip junkies, my way. -Greg

tagg, a texting, emailing, GPS device for your dog. I was pretty well speechless. I’ll let you have your own thoughts on this one.

Samsung brought their own OLED and I have to say it looked real sharp and real thin. The picture was great and the  physical appearance of the TV looked great as well. Of all the TV’s I saw today Samsung had the most impressive picture with their 4k technology TVs (not pictured). I would have uploaded pics of these TV’s, but it just would not do them any justice.

LG was really trying to show their hands at 3D. Here they had a 25″ glasses free 3D monitor. Full 1080p and looked pretty sharp. The trick and problem here was that it tracked the user by video to provide the perfect 3D picture, however you could see lag and blur when you moved until it was able to adjust for your movement.

LG’s 55″ 3D OLED TV. This thing was pretty thin at 4mm and the picture quality was no slouch.

LG greeted us with a pair of 3-D glasses before entering and viewing their wall of 3-D. They had the entire entrance covered with 3-D TVs and played a pretty neat movie of effects that showed off the technology pretty well. Once inside every inch of the LG floor was covered with this technology. They even had a glass showcase full of fashionable 3-D glasses.

The 2012 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) kicks off this week in Las Vegas. I will be attending for my first time and I’m nothing short of excited. Anyone who has even the slightest geek in them knows this is the biggest electronics show in the world. CES is filled with everything electronic like TVs, phones, computers, cameras, and tablets. If you do a quick search on Google or twitter for CES you find and endless stream of leaks, expectations and hopes for this year. Here are some of the leaks that I’m looking forward to checking out:

• Toshiba’s 55-inch Glasses-less 3-D TV. They are the pioneer for this upcoming technology bringing 3-D video to your home without the need for those annoying glasses. This will be headed to theUSthe first quarter of year with a cool $10,000 price tag.

• LG’s 55-inch OLED TV. This thing is only 4 mm thin and weighs in at about 7.5 kg. It also has almost no border so if you played a video of a pool I guess it would be an infinite pool? This same TV is also boasting a new 4 Color Pixels technology that is sure to impress the videophile in everyone.

• Intel is finally entering the mobile chip market with their new Medfield design. They already have a partnership with LG and have built an Android phone. Currently this and their mock-up tablets aren’t in production, but once they have the power consumption issue handled they are sure to become a force to be reckoned with.

• Game Genie will actually be making a come back. They are going to be announcing the return of the Game Genie for the PS3 and PS Portable. They are also creating a downloadable version for the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS.

This is only a small taste of what is to come at CES 2012. I plan to blog about as much as I can from my Xoom so make sure you stay tuned. You can follow GMachine on facebook  and twitter as well. I can not wait, I have less than 24 hours until I enter the gates of gadget paradise in Las Vegas and bathe in the electronic glory that is CES. Let us not forget that since this is in Las Vegas, the evenings will be filled with plenty of hookers and blow. –Greg

Looks like Samsung was not kidding around when they said they would be updating the Galaxy S II to Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) early 2012. SAMMOBILE has just leaked 2 Official ROMs based on the much anticipated latest version of Android, Ice Cream Sandwich. These are actually builds for the international Galaxy S II (I9100); of course this was expected as the international version was released far before it came to theUS. I’m pretty excited to see that Samsung is moving right along and will be really excited to see when the first build for the I777 (US version) is leaked. –Greg
