Pansonic has itself its first new home theater in a box (HTiB) system with an integrated Blu-Ray Disc player set to go on sale. It is called the SC-BT100 and you’ll find it for around $1,000.
The Panasonic SC-BT100 includes speakers and a subwoofer for a 5.1 channel experience. It can be upgraded to wireless full 7.1 channel sound with the optional purchase of two side speakers and a transceiver. The included Blu-ray Disc player has “the Final Standard Profile for advanced functions such as Bonus View and audio mixing, which allows the consumer to switch the sound between the main and sub windows.”
Other features of the SC-BT100 system include support for advanced audio codecs like Dolby True HD and DTS-HD, a bamboo diaphragm in the front and center channel speakers, SD memory card slot and an integrated iPod dock. Availability will be by the end of spring.

Starting with the Forerunner 305, Garmin finally started producing GPS-enabled watches that didn’t make you look like a total goof while tracking your pace and vitals, but these still weren’t timepieces you’d be comfortable wearing to the office or even a bar. Then came the Forerunner 50, which had the perfect watch-like form factor, but unfortunately, no GPS. So fans of this line will be pleased to learn that Garmin has somehow been able to shoehorn a satellite receiver into a casing not much bigger than the 50’s and dubbed it the Forerunner 405. Besides monitoring and logging speed, distance, heart rate and location, the 405 also features a touch-sensitve bezel for controlling its various functions, as well as the same proprietary ANT+Sport wireless syncing technology as the GPS-less 50. Available in either black (pictured above) or green (pictured after the break), the Forerunner 405 will start at $299.

We’re all but convinced that nobody actually wears these video-playing watches out in public, but just in case there’s some otherworldly group out there that takes pride in adorning their wrists with timepieces that are utterly heinous, you’re in luck. This iteration sports a 1.8-inch 160 x 128 resolution OLED display, integrated media player that handles MP3, WMA and MP4 files, a built-in Li-ion, 4GB of internal memory, voice recording capability, USB 2.0 connectivity and an FM transmitter for good measure. All this can be yours for the above average price of $126, but if you have any respect for yourself whatsoever, you’ll glide right on past this one.

Generally speaking, mishmash concepts involving a cellphone and just about anything wearable haven’t exactly taken off, but if Maxwell Smart can do it, why can’t Samsung? In a recent patent application from the firm, a “wrist wearable type portable terminal” is described, which essentially acts as a wrist strap that functions as a cellphone holster. Granted, the idea could be problematic in a myriad ways — leading to public humiliation and a lack of broad compatibility with mobiles for starters — but we can’t fault ‘em for trying.

Truthfully, we’ve no idea whether Citizen really did replace its VIRT design team or if they all just had an epiphany, but whatever the case, the outfit’s latest lineup of Bluetooth-enabled wristwatches actually look… marginally wearable. The i:Virt collection, which comes in four colors along with a metal-banded sibling, is capable of playing nice with your Bluetooth mobile, and moreover, they all boast a battery life of up to five days with BT turned on. Furthermore, the units are water-resistant and feature a color LCD, phone battery meter, caller ID, signal display, call history list and email viewer. Unfortunately, it seems as though the watches all sport the elusive “open price” for now, but feel free to take a closer look at the gang after the jump.

Remember that mysterious CECT cellphone watch we peeked back in July? Unless our eyes (badly) deceive us, that very piece has morphed into Hyundai’s W-100, the latest watchphone in town. Reportedly, this device sports a 1.3-megapixel camera, a 176 x 144 resolution touchscreen, Bluetooth, support for English / Chinese languages, an integrated MP3 player and a microSD slot for loading up your tunes.
