Sony has a bunch of accessories that will be available for PSP Go when it hits US shelves on October 1. The usual stuff, like cases, wrist straps, Sony-branded screen protectors etc. Problem is the handheld doesn’t have a standard mini USB port like the PSP-3000, so you will have to buy all new accessories.

The PSP Go has a new multifunction port on its base that is used for everything, whether it’s data transfer, charging or video output. Asking owners of the older model to change a USB cable would have been fine, we think. But the fact that components like A/V cables, voice headsets and pretty much anything made to work with the 3000, are completely incompatible is a real slap in the face to PSP owners.

Palm and Sprint haven’t confirmed the numbers officially, but according to JPMorgan in a Wall Street Journal article, “sales in the first two days probably exceeded 50,000.” The figure was “aligned with expectations, but probably fell short of the 146,000 reported first-gen iPhone sales” during its opening weekend. And that was due to “capacity constraints in manufacturing.”

So it looks like the Pre launch was a success. Next weekend’s sales may put it all in perspective. It’s great news for Palm, but it isn’t all roses. We’ll have to see if new Palm owners are still having problems or not.

Thin TVs are all the rage right now with CES back in January having more thin screens that massive screen sets. OLED TVs offer the thinnest screen sizes typically, but you pay dearly for the technology. Some LCD TVs and Plasma sets are getting thin as well.

JVC has introduced a new LCD TV with a 32-inch screen that offers a very thin profile only 6.4mm at its thinnest point. That turns out to be a big caveat when you look further at the specs and find at its thickest point, which is basically half the screen, its 22.5mm thick.

Many of the most basic mobile phones today are Bluetooth enabled. This allows users to take advantage of hands free kits and headsets that connect via Bluetooth allowing drivers to stay more focused on the road.

Jabra makes a full line of Bluetooth headsets and hands free kits for mobile phone users. The company’s latest headset is called the BT2080 and features Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR and eSCO.

Sprint has announced a new mobile phone that is aimed at entry-level users and has a QWERTY keyboard for texting. The handset is the Sanyo SCP-2700 and it sells for only $29.95 after instant and mail-in rebates and a new 2-year contract.

The Amazon Kindle is a cool gadget and has been one of the most popular devices on Amazon since it launched. Not too long ago Amazon unveiled a new larger screen Kindle designed with reading newspapers in mind called the Kindle DX.

The Kindle DX lacked any sort of protective cover for the large screen, which meant that if users weren’t careful they could scratch the expensive gadget. A company called M-Edge has announced a new line of cases for the Kindle DX that includes the Executive Jacket and the Platform Jacket.

The Epson Endeavor NP11-V is an energy efficient nettop that only requires 40Watts of power. Sure, it looks like the Wii turned into a PC, but we’re assuming that you like your devices in stark raving white so bright that it burns your iris. How about a dash of color Epson?

This mini computer is powered by an Intel Atom 230 CPU with a standard SIS672 or SIS968 chipset, 1GB RAM and a 160GB HDD. If you love bland design, you can buy the Endeavor NP11-V for about 195 Euro or $272.

They won’t get you very far very fast as you walk, stop and dig for treasure, but at least you’ll keep busy. If you are already walking around with a metal detector and a large set of headphones, this should improve your look at least.

These metal detecting sandals will help to keep others away from your treasure too, because they are much more subtle than the typical detector. The right sandal connects to a removable battery pack that’s strapped to your calf and a coil in the sandals does all the work.

The new Blackberry Tour 9630 smartphone will be launched in the near future and if you can’t wait, we have some leaked specs for you. The phone weighs just 130 grams and has a 256 MB internal Flash memory, 35 key backlight QWERTY keyboard, 3.2 MP camera with flash and autofocus, Bluetooth 2.0.

Excited? Do you want RIM to add anything else? If this looks like the BB device for you, you won’t have a long wait. The device will be available mid July on the Bell network.

The Vertu Ascent Ti Damascus Steel was apparently developed by relying on “ancient steel forging” techniques. The kind used throughout the centuries to make Samurai swords. This results in the metal being harder. The specs aren’t exactly mind blowing, with a QVGA display, S40 user interface, GSM/UMTS connectivity, a 3.2-megapixel camera with LED flash and 4GB of internal memory.

There will only be a hundred available, so expect to pay a pretty penny for this handset that’s as tough as a sword. We don’t have a price just yet.
