That's right kids, five hours. That's not a lot of time. I hope you didn't leave it until the last minute... But even if you did, you can still come up with some impressive way to share the Gizmodo love with the rest of the world. Just check out our original Gizmo-grow post, get your hands on the hi-res logo and get it out there. Just make sure to send your entries to competitions@gizmodo.com.au before 5pm today, otherwise you'll have put in all that effort and won't have the chance of winning the TV. We'll be announcing the winner on Monday - Good luck!

Apparently it was optimistic to expect Prada to understand the difference between a fashion accessory and a phone accessory, because now look what's happened: Prada and LG have announced the Prada Link, a Bluetooth watch that pulls text messages and your call information from the Prada II phone. To be honest though, it doesn't look so bad. The stylish Link has a tiny little OLED screen that displays the content of text messages, call history data, a call rejection option and, of course, the time. The only downsides are the 48-hour battery life, which leaves you latching your watch to the phone for charging every couple of days, and the lack of a US release date. It's not yet clear if the watch will come with the phone for free, but considering that similar watches have retailed for around $US400, I'd guess not. [Prada via Akihabara]

LG may release some crazy handsets on a global level, but believe it or not, the LG Incite has arrived at AT&T as what could be considered the first full-fledged LG smartphone in the States. And it's not a bad first showing. The 3G Windows Mobile handset features a 3-inch touchscreen with full virtual keyboard and haptic feedback, along with aGPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3MP camera, and microSD port. The Incite is available now for $US199.99 with a 2-year agreement. Read on for the full details.

After nearly three years of investigation, LG, Sharp and Chunghwa Picture Tubes Ltd have admitted to participating in a cartel between 2001 and 2006 that fixed prices of LCD screens affecting "millions of American consumers who use computers, cell phones and numerous other household electronics every day." The Justice Department has ordered the companies pony up $US580 million in fines—$US400 million from LG, $US120 million from Sharp and $US65 million from Chunghwa.

Today in Korea, LG debuted a "Bluetooth Digital Television" allowing a user to either listen to the TV with a stereo Bluetooth headset or change the channel with makeshift Bluetooth remotes (like an LG phone, for instance). We've already seen Bluetooth and similar frequencies exploited by this generation of game consoles, and given its advantages over IR (no need for line of sight and the clarity of data transfer), we really hope that LG starts a new trend. The BDTV will be available in Europe soon, but not the US. [Aving]

We've been teasing this competition for a few weeks now, and now it's finally here. One of you will soon become the owner of this 42-inch 1080p LCD from LG. We put the TV through its paces, and while it's not quite pantsworthy, it's certainly worthy of your eyeballs attention, especially when you're watching HD content.

But anyway, back to the competition. "How do I win this TV", I hear multitudes of you asking. Well, begging will get you nowhere. Either will drinking beer. No, to become the proud owner of this TV (and I should emphasise, this is the very same unit that we reviewed), you're going to have to work for it. And when we say work, we really mean it...

LG's toning down their "Life's Good" campaign in light of the fact that life really isn't so good for a lot of people right now. Instead of focusing on telling people that their existence is peachy, LG's new ads will harp on what the product can do to make your life easier. That's some pretty good agility shown by LG's ad men, similar to how Greyhound axed their "there's a reason you've never heard of bus rage" series after a guy stabbed, beheaded and ate a fellow passenger up in Canada.
