    Novel ty goggle-box maker HANNSpree has launched another unusual televisual offering into its UK product range with the introduction of the “Starlight Blue”.
    The Starlight Blue features a starry night sky inspired 3D design. A touch of light on the 15-inch Starlight Blue LCD TV sets the diamond polycarbonate materials to sparkle, “like stars on a clear, starry night”.
    The Starlight Blue’s contours mimic that of crescent moons, and the night sky theme continues with randomly lit crescent moon shapes and a futuristic, orbital theme stand.
    Specs aren’t quite as galactic as the funky design at 1024 x 768 XGA resolution, 500cdm2 brightness, 500:1 contrast ratio, 150 degrees viewing angle with 2 x 2 Watt speakers but no doubt young star-gazers will be more than happy to make the compromise.
    The Starlight Blur is one of a number of HANNspree televisions (including some from the Zoo range, and the TimeSquare model) currently on offer for £99 direct from HANNspree, order line is 0871 666 0850.

    Newman’s N-Shaped Button on the MOMO-X2

    Imagine an apple-shaped iPod clickwheel or a Z-shaped pad for Zorro… er, Zune. Newman, I believe, has the right idea, shaping the control buttons of the MOMO-X2 into a big bold capital letter N. This way, every MOMO-X2 user will not only enjoy MP3, WMA music files with Microsoft PlayFX and music from FM radio, read e-Books in TXT format but also advertise the Newman brand.

    Check out the most recent MOMO PMPs fro Newman from our previous post, or click the read more button for the specs of MOMO-X2.

    [via zol]

    MOMO-X2 is a 2GB player that can be purchased through here. Alas, there doesn’t seem to be an official MSRP for this MP3 player.
