Worldcarfans gives us a first look at the 2008 Acura Advanced Sports Car Concept aka NSX successor, which comes equipped with a front-mounted, V-10 engine and a rear-wheel-drive based version of Acura’s ‘Super Handling All-Wheel Drive’ (SH-AWD). Video after the jump.

Although modern in its appearance, the Advanced Sports Car Concept retains the subtle cues associated with its predecessor, the NSX. The concept’s slim, LED headlights are pushed wide and designed to mimic the pop-up headlights found on the first generation NSX. Other styling hints include a modern take on wraparound rear taillights and the all black cockpit

It’s the Wii laptop! We spent the last few weeks (including much time spent over the holidays evading relatives) slaving over this bad boy and finally it’s complete. Check out the features:

* 16:9 widescreen LCD, 7-inch diagonal.
* Stereo sound
* Gamecube controller port
* Built-in short range Sensor Bar
* Ports for using original Sensor Bar and A/V output jacks (for use on external display)
* Built-in power supply and compartment for power cord
* Dimensions: 8.5 x 7.7 x 2-inches

Starting next Tuesday we’ll be doing a multi-part How-To with detailed instructions for building your own Wii laptop, as well as loads of photos of the construction process. But for now check out the gallery for more detailed photos of the unit, and click on to see some video of the Wii laptop in action.

More images and a video are on on Engadget.

What’s this? Are Samsung and Google ganging up on Apple, putting together a screenier touchscreen phone to rival the iPhone? All we have so far is cryptic information, such as the words “Google Switch” accompanying this image that landed in our tip box this morning.

Sure, Google talked Samsung into allowing its software to be installed on its Ultra Edition 13.8 slider late last month, but that phone, while super-slim, doesn’t look anywhere near as cool as this. Even though this image we received is insouciantly blurred to resemble a clandestine photo, it’s easy to fake that in Photoshop. Anybody know what this is? Help us out here. – Charlie White

Thanks, Chad!

“GTPH gives us a hands-on preview of the LG KE850, which looks very similar to the iPhone. Technical specifications have not yet been released, but we do know that it sports a 240 x 400 touchscreen display. Video after the jump.” (head to TechEBlog for the video.)

Right on the heels of all the buzz about Apple’s new iPhone is LG’s KE850. It looks like LG was quietly preparing to put Apple’s ego in check with thier own surprise. I would love to see some competition for such forward thinking in phones. Motorolla? I love my Q, but get in there.

“Unveiled at CES 2007, WowWee’s RoboBoa boasts a “motion sensor, alarm clock and speaker for an iPod.” Video preview after the jump.” (head to the TechEBlog article to check out the video.

It seems these days that WowWee is putting out too many poducts to focus on one properly, but I could very well be proven wrong since I love my collection. I have a Robosapien, Robosapien mini, Robosapien V2 and a Robosapien V2 Signature Edition. When I have more time, I plan on cracking open my V2 and “upgrading” it with a few things. For starters, I’ll be upgrading him so I can plug him right into the wall to recharge the batteries. Then I plan to put a video camera in his head and develop a web interface to control him and see what he sees. Don’t worry. I’ll post the link here when it’s ready.
