Another day, another Korean-based DMB navigation system — but MyDean’s FX-1 does manage to differentiate itself just enough to keep it from completely blending in. The stylish black frame and thin design emphasize the expansive seven-inch LCD, and while it features the same DMB TV tuning and media playing abilities as everyone else, we can’t fault a firm for tryin’. Per usual, you’ll find a built-in speaker, car mounting options, USB connectivity, an SD slot, stylus, integrated GPS antenna, a wireless remote, a few games thrown in for good measure, and an FM tuner to boot. Sure, there’s nothing here you haven’t seen (multiple times) before, but the â‚©199,000 ($215) pricetag sure looks attractive nonetheless.

Those who’ve started taking notes in order to keep track of all the iPhone launch details still floating in can add one more, and thankfully for those worried about their own safety come next Friday, you’ll be relieved to know that this one involves crowd control. Two documents outlining how managers should “prepare landlords for the iPhone launch” explain that stanchions (you know, those annoying cattle herders that keep you in order whilst waiting in the airport) should be made available at almost any cost, so it’s pretty safe to say they know you (and your posse) are coming. Additionally, it’s noted that AT&T stores will be staying open only until 10:00PM unless individual managers choose to keep the overtime clocks a-rollin’, and venues located within enclosed malls will be closing at their normal times. Guess we can’t blame ’em for trying to make us all happy campers.

Check it US Pleo hopefuls, UGOBE is now taking pre-orders for the hotly anticipated dinobot. The price? Well, it’s not $250, or even $300 as we were originally told. Rather, the cuddly killer is now pegged at $349. Pre-orders can be executed directly from the UGOBE website or via the usual array of on-line retail partners. Unfortunately, you’ll have to wait a few months before your Pleo can “inspire mystery and awe as a companion” — it doesn’t ship until October. Plenty of time to ponder the threat of inviting a robot and dinosaur into your home. Now head on over to Pleoworld for plenty of hot, groaning, dino-on-dino action.

[Thanks, Vladimiro]

In case you haven’t noticed by now, we’re just a bit smitten by iriver designs ’round here. Can you blame us? Still, we’re not sure what to make of the device photographed above and presumably on display at the SEK2007 exhibition in Korea. Problem is, the forum jockey over at iriverfans.com failed to provide any descriptive text. A geeky lapel ribbon worn to commemorate the fight for Bluetooth audio? We don’t know. No worries, more than likely we’ll track down the truth before the days is up. Until then, get to it readers… what do you think it is?
