Toshiba has announced that its Satellite A350 and NB100 would soon be finding their way into Europe, Middle East, and African (EMEA) markets with an added bonus: HSPA technology. We’ve got precisely nada on the price tag for these iterations, however, which normally retail for around $800 and $500 without 3G. If you’re on the lookout for a laptop with some extra portability, both models are expected to hit retail channels first quarter of this year.

Not even a month after LG outed its 50PQ60D and 42PQ60D Xcanvas plasmas over in South Korea, the company has introduced a trio of LCD HDTVs in the nation as well. The LH30FD models, all part of the burgeoning Scarlet series, are all presumably equipped with 1080p panels, inbuilt speakers and other modern amenities. While LG leaves out most of the details, we are told that all three sets boast a variety of picture modes, a trio of HDMI sockets and a four-step power saving mode that can purportedly “reduce power consumption by up to 70 percent.” We’ve no way to prove or disprove that claim, but hopefully the stipulations will be spelled out more clearly when, er, if these migrate to America. As for those in Seoul, they can grab one later this month for ₩2,400,000 ($1,725; 47-inch), ₩1,650,000 ($1,186; 42-inch) or ₩1,200,000 ($862; 32-inch).

It’s been a long time coming, but Seagate’s finally unveiled its first 2TB hard drive, the 3.5-inch Constellation ES. The hefty spinner also comes in 500GB and 1TB varieties and runs at 7,200RPM, which should make it a bit faster than Western Digital’s behemoth, according to reviews for the latter. It’ll be out calendar Q3, which we take to be fancy schmancy business talk for “this Summer.” Meanwhile, the 2.5-inch ES-less Constellation line sports 3 Gbps SATA and SAS 2.0 interface. Look for this one in 160GB and 500GB sizes sometime this quarter, with Dell said to be one the first companies to offer the drives. Check out one more out-of-this-world promotional image after the break.

Don’t bet the farm on it just yet, but given the FCC filing that outed these sets at the tail end of December, we’d say it’s safe to assume that the panel you see above (and after the break) will be headed to America in short order. Made official today in South Korea, LG’s Xcanvas 50PQ60D and 42PQ60D plasmas sport a sleeker, more fully integrated design that conceals the speakers within the border. The TV itself also detects ambient light and automatically adjusts brightness in order to conserve energy, and the built-in USB port enables portable media to be loaded on for all to see. Few other details about the pair are being released, but you can expect ‘em on sale halfway across the world in around three weeks for $1,460 / $1,022, respectively.

Full-blown boomboxes definitely aren’t as popular as they once were, but there’s still something curiously attractive about buying a music system that can be slung upside one’s shoulder when the mood strikes you. To that end, JVC has introduced a new trio in its micro audio system, with the UX-GN6 boasting a “wake-up” sensor that turns the rig on when motion is spotted and a “laser touch” control feature, which is a sophisticated way of saying touch sensitive. Obviously, all three play nice with iPods, and they’ll all be available in around two months for $99.95, $149.95 and $199.95 for the UX-G200, UX-LP5 and the UX-GN6, respectively.

JVC’s busting out a veritable plethora of camcorders today, with three in particular catching our eyes. The 60GB GZ-HD300, 120GB GZ-HD320 and the dual SD slot-packin’ GZ-HM200 all record in Full HD and feature a 3.05 megapixel CMOS image sensor. If you’re into the SD gig, it has five other models within the Everio G series and Everio S series, and the whole family will include a One Touch Export function that enables videos to be imported into iTunes and loaded directly onto an iPod / iPhone. Expect ‘em all to be available by March at the latest for between $299.95 and $799.95.

JVC’s hittin’ hot and heavy today at CES, and in you’ve been wondering when you’d see something for your vehicle, here’s your sign. JVC Mobile is introducing seven new in-dash receivers today, with the flagship KD-R900 ($269.95) packing dual USB 2.0 ports, Bluetooth, 3-Band Parametric iEQ, variable-color illumination display, a remote remote and a MOS-FET 50W x 4 internal amplifier.
