Toshiba HD-A2 HD DVD player: $100, this Friday, Wal-Mart
Filed under: HDTV, Home Entertainment
Still waiting to jump into the high def disc game? Or just wanted another weaker, cheaper player for the last-gen TV you phased out to your rumpus room? Well, whatever your reasons, some (not all!) Wal-Mart locations will be selling Toshiba HD-A2s for $100 — down from $200 — this Friday. Ridiculous, we know. Blu-ray gonna fight back? We hope so, we’d really like to get our hands on one for under $300, and not just by using our hookup that sells gear out of his trunk, you know?

SiliconDrive USB Blade gets tiny for embedded storage applications
Filed under: Storage
Cramming 2GB of storage space into a device no larger than a standard postage stamp is decently impressive, and SiliconSystems has done just that with its new SiliconDrive USB Blade. Hailed as the “industry’s first ultra-small solid state drive for embedded storage applications,” this wee device feels most at home when shoved into incredibly tight quarters on any flavor of PCB. Additionally, the USB 2.0-compliant device is designed to handle shock, vibrations and extreme temperatures, and it features read / write rates of 10MB/sec. The firm plans on releasing these in 512MB and 1GB flavors as well, and while we’ve no idea when to expect ‘em on store shelves, evaluation units and host developer tool kits should be available in December.

Eye-Fi hands-on, impressions
Filed under: Digital Cameras, Features, Peripherals, Wireless, Networking
You may have seen the Eye-Fi, launched this week, nearly a year and a half since we first heard about it. If you’re just catching up on the news, it’s basically a WiFi-enabled SD card (and accompanying web service) used to transparently and wirelessly transfer photos from your camera to your computer and/or a variety of photo sharing sites. Sounds like a great idea in theory, it turns out that the Eye-Fi is, in its current release, an answer seeking a question. Read on.

Samsung’s F700 to arrive on Verizon as SCH-U940?
Filed under: Cellphones
Verizon Wireless customers, you may want to sit down for this one. Samsung’s oh-so-sexy SGH-F700, which is currently thrilling quite a few Vodafone customers, could be headed to The Network — and soon. According to Phone Arena, the Verizon variant of the F700 will be dubbed the SCH-U940, but actual details beyond that are scant. We are told that the unit will boast a 440 x 240 resolution touchscreen, QWERTY keyboard and a two-megapixel camera, but beyond that we’re left to wonder. No worries though, as the phone will reportedly be landing “in a few months,” so keep your eyes peeled, cool?
