While it hardly comes as much of a surprise after leaks from both Sprint and Verizon, RIM has finally made its long-awaited CDMA-enabled Pearl 8130 (a.k.a. “Pearl 2“) official, with it likely headed to the aforementioned carries sometime between now and Thanksgiving. As we had heard before, this one comes with built-in GPS (which Boy Genius speculates will be disabled on Verizon’s offering), along with A2DP/AVRCP Bluetooth, a 2 megapixel camera (with video recording capability), and a standard 3.5mm audio jack. According to RIM, you can also expect an overhauled interface, complete with an updated browser and some improved multimedia features, including the ability to create and edit playlists. Still no word on a price, but we’d expect Sprint and Verizon to be doling out that info before too long.

It’s one thing to have an outdoor viewable, waterproof LCD TV, but you can seriously up the bragging if that set is integrated right into your jacuzzi. For those that settle for only the best, Catalina Spas is offering up a “61-inch Theater Spa,” which not only seats four very comfortably, but it also includes a 61-inch LCD HDTV that “automatically stores along the side wall of the spa and raises and lowers for viewing.” Of course, considering that it’s “priced upon request,” you should probably bring the bank if eying this one with any level of seriousness.
Surely you remember Sony’s OLED TVs with an astounding 1,000,000:1 contrast? Good, then you’ll also recall that Sony promised the 3-fracking-mm thin, 11-incher this year; a schedule Samsung publicly doubted. While we wish it was 27- or even 30-inches, it’s still a very important step in the wide-spread, commercialization of the technology. So check it Sammy, Sony’s on the road touting a December, Japan delivery to anyone who will listen. So the question is: are you?
For those sick and tired of living vicariously through James Bond, Aston Martin is giving buyers of the €240,000 ($330,864) DBS coupe the chance to add on a svelte wristwatch that will actually lock, unlock and start their new vehicle. The limited edition Jaeger LeCoultre AMVOX2 chronograph not only boasts “over 200 parts to its casing and an equal number in the watch movement itself,” but it will include a miniaturized form of the “DBS transponder electronics” within the base. Owners of the timepiece will be able to leave the key at home in a vault and crank their new ride up with the touch of a watch, but the convenience will cost you a stiff €25,000 ($34,465) on top of the car’s purchase price.

Rest assured, there’s no shortage of glamorous nightclubs, but a new spot is set to excite Londoners that have a thing for exaggerated lighting and all things interactive. Dubbed the “first interactive bar in the world,” each wall will be lined in blank canvas so that projections can be beamed out and altered on a whim to really get you trippin’. Additionally, there will be “hundreds of LEDs” to treat your retinas to, and the bar itself will even be touch sensitive, allowing you to alert the bartender of your drink needs by simply laying your hand down. Sounds like a bloody good time for you blokes (and dames) in the area, but for the rest of us, we’ll have to settle with a few more stills after the jump. [Warning: PDF read link]
