Can’t say we really expected to see anything from Western Digital here at CeBIT, but sure enough, it brought along its 2TB Caviar Green hard drive, WD TV HD media player and the new 8TB ShareSpace NAS. Along with oodles of other external, internal and somewhere-in-between drives, too. We actually kind of spazzed upon seeing two terabytes of empty space within a single internal HDD, but hopefully the blur isn’t too noticeable. Enjoy!

We were pretty impressed by the unique design of the iriver SPINN media player when we got our hands on it last year, but that doesn’t mean it’s a design that’ll instantly improve any device, as fully exemplified by this little wonder now making the rounds in China. Apparently dubbed the SWIVEL-CAM, this one’s a 5-megapixel shooter that packs an 8x digital zoom (and digital zoom only), along with a 3-inch LCD, 16MB of internal memory, an SD card slot for expansion, and video recording in either 4:3 or 16:9 modes, not to mention the usual e-book reader, voice recorder, and “game player.” Intrigued? Then you can get your order in right now for $120.

Philips has been keeping things relatively simple with its GoGear line as of late, but it looks to be getting back to full-on PMPs with its latest pair: the GoGear Ariaz and GoGear Opus. The GoGear Ariaz is the slightly smaller of the two, with it packing a 2-inch display, along with 4GB, 8GB, or 16GB of storage, an FM tuner, a built-in mic for voice recording, and a somewhat unique interface that includes a combination of “touchscreen buttons” and a large rocker key. The Opus, on the other hand, appears to be an updated version of one of Philips’ original GoGear players, and packs a larger 2.8-inch QVGA display, your choice of 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB capacities, built-in Bluetooth, and integrated support for the BBC’s iPlayer. No word on a release ’round here just yet, but both will apparently be available in Europe in April for between €79 and €179, or roughly $100 to $230.

It’s been just about ten full months since Myka’s BitTorrent box was formally introduced to Earthlings, but it seems like the wheels are finally turning on production way across the way in China. According to a promising update on Myka’s official website, “production is in full swing,” which means that boxes should start arriving to eager consumers in around four to six weeks. For those unaware, this here box pulls down torrents as you sleep and then plays ‘em back nicely on your connected HDTV. Users can also load up additional media on the inbuilt 80GB, 160GB or 500GB hard drive, but first you’ll need to hand over $299, $349 or $459 depending on just how capacious you like your media servers.

[Thanks, Julio]

Samsung’s YP-Q1 personal media player comes in 4, 18 or 16GB sizes and boasts such features as a Rhythmizer screensaver that syncs to your music, an audio upscaler that restores higher frequencies lost when your music is converted to MP3 or WMA, playback speed control without pitch shifting and a text to speech converter for listening to text-based files. And I have to say, it’s refreshing to see a company not caught up in the whole “let’s make it as small as we can” mentality.

After it was released in the US, Canada and several European markets, RIM’s BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 has now reached India too.

The first ever BlackBerry clamshell smartphone is available across India thanks to Airtel, the country’s largest mobile operator, and it can be bought, from authorized channels, at the retail price of Rs. 21,990 (around $458).

Letting aside its unusual (for a BlackBerry) form factor, the 8220 brings all the features that the previous Pearl models have, and even more. 

For example, the new smartphone has two displays: a QVGA internal one, and a 128 x 160 pixels external one. Also, its SureType QWERTY keyboard is significantly larger than the ones packed by the other Pearls, this providing an enhanced texting experience.

Other features include:

• Wi-Fi
• HTML browser
• DataViz document reader
• BlackBerry Maps
• Media player
• Bluetooth 2.0
• A 2MP camera with flash
• And a 1GB microSD card

RIM might also release the BlackBerry Storm in India (via Vodafone, of course), but for the moment there’s nothing official about this.
