LG’s box of home cinema chocolate

Chocolate phone, Chocolate laptop, Chocolate TV. We’re beginning to spot a pattern here.Latest to roll out of LG’s Chocolate factory is this hard disk drive packing home cinema confection, called the J10HD.Blessed with the same high-gloss finish and glowing touch sensitive controls as its gadget companions, it sports two matching speakers and a separate sub, ready to nestle in discretely under your LG telly.The 80GB hard drive is good for ripping CDs from the built-in DVD player and for recording from its radio, but sadly it won’t get up to any pause/rewind Sky+ TV recording shenanigans.Despite its physical 2.1 impairments. LG promises pseudo 5.1 sound through its own brand of virtual surround trickery, and plenty of it too – up to 300W, in fact, so warn the neighbours now.EssentialsLG J10HDPrice: £TBAOn sale: JulyContact: LGRelated stories: LG unwraps Google flavoured ChocolateLG laptop falls from Chocolate heavenLG turns the TV chocolatey
