Most electronic devices get scratches and dings within the first few months of usage. One of the reasons that people forego protecting their device is that the covers offered are too bulky and interfere with the look of the gadget. Well now there is a product that will protect your device and leave it looking exactly the same. It is called the Invisible Shield. The shield is made for over 2,000 different electronic devices including cell phones, lap tops, iPods, GPS systems, gaming systems, and watches. The protective shield is made of polyurethane, which is a tough clear material that was originally used by the military to protect helicopter blades.

LG XF1 500GB Multimedia HDD

The LG XF1 is a 500 GB "Multimedia HDD" that packs a HDMI-out for quick media playback, and has a slick looking design to boot.

However, the XF1 looks geared towards the mainstream consumer crowd, as it only plays back video at 1080i, and fails to support the h.264 or MKV standards. It does, however, support the AVI, Xvid and MPEG family of codecs, along with all the major audio ones. Price and availability are yet to be announced.
