drag2share: Samsung SHV-E120L comes out of the development dark, is the Xtina to LG's Britney

Brothers from another mobile mother, or just a case of copycat syndrome? We'll let you be the judge, but from the looks of this latest leak, Samsung's SHV-E120L could be sharing some of the LG LU6200's special spec sauce. Outed over on Cetizen and iNews24, the full breakdown of the device's innards point to a dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 4.7-inch 1280 x 720 HD display, 2 megapixel front-facing / 8 megapixel rear camera, 1GB RAM, 16GB of onboard storage, WiFi, Bluetooth and NFC. We've seen conflicting reports as to the exact version of Gingerbread that'll ship on the phone, with Android 2.3.5 in the running. As for the handset's radios, its purported MDM9600 Gobi chipset indicates tri-mode LTE, HSPA and CDMA compatibility. Sammy's super-sized smartphone could hit South Korea later this month, or in early October -- if the passable English in that Google translation can be believed.

drag2share: LG Optimus EX bound for South Korea, still won't pay alimony

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/21/lg-optimus-ex-bound-for-south-korea-still-wont-pay-alimony/

Despite its rather curious name, the LG Optimus EX (aka the LG SU-880) just might be your soulmate -- provided you live in South Korea. The 9.5mm device appears ready to take SK Telecom by storm with a 1.2GHz dual-core CPU (with no indication of make or model), Android 2.3, 4-inch WVGA TFT-LCD display and five megapixel camera; it's also said to be coming in black and white varieties. We admit, it's not the type of spec sheet that induces a large amount of salivation, but we imagine many will be seduced by the new device -- if the price is right, that is. No word on pricing or availability yet, but we'll hopefully know more once we get officially introduced to the new handset.

drag2share: OCZ debuts Synapse Cache Series SSDs to compensate for your HDD's shortcomings

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/22/ocz-debuts-synapse-cache-series-ssds-to-compensate-for-your-hdd/

This really shouldn't come as much of a surprise, given some of OCZ's other offerings, but the company has outed its Synapse Cache SSDs so you don't have to suffer the speed limitations inherent in spinning disk storage. These 2.5-inch, 6 GB/s SATA drives come in 64 and 128GB flavors, and do the dual drive dance with your HDD of choice using the firms' Dataplex caching software. That nifty bit of code hastens data retrieval by dynamically managing your data, placing frequently used info on the speedy SSD, and shoving the rest on your capacious, cheap-as-chips HDD. When can you up your storage speed limit and how much will it cost? OCZ's not telling, but the drive's full performance specs can be found in the PR and source below.

drag2share: CouponCodes Relaunches, Aggregates Discount Codes for Thousands of Retailer Web Sites [Shopping]

Source: http://lifehacker.com/5842034/couponcodes-relaunches-offers-discount-codes-for-thousands-of-retailer-web-sites

CouponCodes Relaunches, Aggregates Discount Codes for Thousands of Retailer Web Sites CouponCodes.com is under new management, and the site re-launched this morning as a hub for coupons and discount codes for over 2,500 retail sites, curated and screened by real people behind the scenes.

To find a coupon code for a retailer you're about to buy from, just search for the retailer in the search bar, or scroll to the bottom of the page to search for the retailer by name. Featured coupons live on the front page, and some of the service's banner retail partners include AT&T, Apple, Dell, Sears, Home Depot, and Target.

The new CouponCodes.com isn't the first service to do something like this, and they enter an already crowded field of web sites offering coupons and discount codes, like previously mentioned RetailMeNot and CouponChief. What could make CouponCodes.com stand out in the long run is the fact that the codes are manually curated and approved by real people-something other services are woefully lacking.

Source: http://lifehacker.com/5842050/yoyocom-is-a-wonderland-for-finding-great-toys

YoYo.com Is a Wonderland for Finding Great ToysOnline toy store YoYo can help you find the right toy for that special kid—a feat that's not always easy. The site aims to provide the broadest selection of toys online and handpicked recommendations.

You can shop by age, product category, and characters as well as see YoYo's picks for toys that meet criteria such as "eco-friendly" or "perfect for travel." The assortment is very impressive; right now YoYo has 20,000 toys, books, video games and collectibles in stock, compared to ToysRUs' 10,000 in stock (YoYo is also a sister company of Diapers.com, Soap.com, and pet supply company Wag.com, all owned by Quidsi, a subsidiary of Amazon, which itself doesn't carry as many toys).

Besides the vast selection, YoYo's main purpose will be to help you find excellent age-appropriate toys.
