Buffalo has officially launched a new 7-inch USB LCD screen display for use as a secondary screen for your laptop or desktop computer. The screen has a resolution of 800×400 and a contrast ratio of 500:1. Obviously, you won’t be looking at great images on this screen with such a low contrast ratio. At that resolution, you’re also not going to get a whole lot on the screen, but it could be nice to have around. The screen connects via USB so you could pull it out to use on everything from your netbook to your mammoth desktop PC. It could work well for keeping things like your IM client or Twitter while you’re working on your other screen.

No pricing information is available yet for this little monitor. It will be interesting to see how Buffalo decides to price it. If it was exceptionally affordable, a lot of people might pick one up just for the flexibility of having another screen available if they needed one.

Buffalo is set to introduce what they are claiming to be the world’s thinnest external hard drive. The official name of the product is the MiniStation Shinobi and it is just 5mm thick. While the device looks like a run-of-the mill flash drive, it actually houses a 1.8-inch hard drive. I got to handle one of these tiny drives and it is very light at 2-ounces.

Encased in a very cool-looking metallic black enclosure, Buffalo placed a tiny retractable USB connector in the side of the unit. The connector nests within the case when not in use; the drive does not have a mini-USB port. It will ship with an USB extension cable in case the built-in connector cannot reach your computer’s port. Buffalo will release two versions in October. There is a 30GB model for around $120 and a 60GB model for about $170. Both come with back up software by Memeo. More pictures after the break.

Verizon is bringing its FiOS TV service to a new part of New York. What part? They are coming to that hotbed of television watching, the Buffalo area. It seems like the strangest places get to experience new technologies first. After New York City, Buffalo is the largest city in New York State with over a million people in its greater metropolitan area.

Of course, Verizon is throwing together some deals so they can hook people into their FiOS service for the long haul. Their deals include some premium channels for free for a limited time as well as potential savings on DVRs. Even more interesting is that Verizon is offering more HD channels than Time Warner Cable, the dominant cable provider in New York. This should provide a bit of competition in the television market of the Buffalo area.
