There are so many manufacturers of LCD/LED-backlit monitors these days. But few of them actually have IPS-panels offerings. Even fewer have 27" models that spots a higher color depth and higher resolution models (2560x1440 compared to 1920x1080).
So far only Apple produces the Apple Cinema Display that is both IPS and also 2560x1440. Dell's Ultrasharp monitor is not yet offering LED-backlight, and hence spots a thicker physical profile.
NEC, HP and possibly EIZO probably has some offering, but is too expensive to consider. Samsung hasnt move on to IPS panels yet.
However, LG seems to start pushing it's new IPS series of monitors as shown on their website http://www.ipslcd.com/en/
They currently offers a 23" model which looks fairly attractive. Let's wait a little while to see if they will eventually offer a 27" model.

Investing(Early Adopter) in OSX Lion
Apple has released its flag-ship OSX Lion together with some refresh of their MacMinis and Cinema Displays featuring Thunderbolt I/O.
Serveral early reports seems to reflect compatibility problems with Network Attached Storage. So if you guys are using NAS, you might want to steer clear of Lion until the storage companies can supply new firmwares to rectify the issue.
For myself, I'm waiting to get my hands on a monitor that is 2560x1440 capable (IPS panel).. but they are all pretty steep in prices. The newer Samsung 1920x1080 3D monitors are going cheaper.. so kinda hard to make a decision there. Any suggestions? Hopefully Thunderbolt will pickup on the monitor front.
As an insurance, I have to keep waiting for the new tech to mature.. but by the time are are mature and affordable, the next new thing is out.. sigh.. I hate to be a spec chaser..

Power hungry iphones/ipads/ipods meets portable power
With Duracell and Energizer both offering portable rechargeable battery packs for the iphones/ipads/ipods.. there is no excuse for running out of power. They are also affordable...
Will go source for one in Singapore and see if there are just as affordable here as compared to US. Sometimes these imported stuff are sold for much more here...
