Sharp has kicked off the new year in style with the Sharp SH810C mobile phone. The handset has an 8 megapixel camera built-in with a 3-inch LCD AVS and an 854×480 resolution. The handset is currently available in China only with no word on when we’ll see it hit Europe or North American markets.  Quite a few cell phone manufacturers have started putting high megapixel cams in their handsets. Do you think they’ll come a time when we don’t need consumer cameras anymore, just cell phones? [via AkibaharaNews]

If you’ve been out to the mall recently, or even to Target you’ve probably noticed that the Christmas season is upon us. Grand Central Station in New York City is no exception to the rule, now sporting a Christmas tree made up of 43 Sharp Aquos televisions. The LCD’s range in size from 19 to 52 inches. Passserbys in Grand Central can register to win one of the TV’s after the holiday season, each registered person earning a 41 donation from Sharp for a program to train people in environmental jobs.

Sharp 108″ LCD Coming to the US

sharp 108 lcd

This mammoth LCD television is nine feet in diameter. That’s bigger than the width of your GearCrave editor’s bedroom from back in college. Funny enough, the cost of this TV is nearly double my tuition, so I suppose that it rounds out a bit. The Sharp 108-inch LCD TV will be coming to the US for a price just over $100,000. If you’ve got that kind of money to splurge on a TV, shoot us an email on the GearCrave contact form. We’d be happy to help you spend your folding money– for a slight fee, of course. [via Gizmodo]
