If you have been holding out for a notebook that cost about the same as a netbook, but had a bit more power and a larger screen it may be time for you to buy. MSI has announced that the U210 is now available in America on both Newegg.com and Amazon.

The machine sells for about $473 and features a 12.1-inch HD screen with a native resolution of 1366 x 768. Graphics for the little notebook are via ATI Radeon X1250. MSI uses its slick EDS keyboard with keys 51% larger than those on a standard keyboard for better typing fell and ease of use.

I am not sure how I feel about the companies that tear up perfectly good gadgets to show us what’s inside the shiny case. I guess it’s much better than me having to tear into my own gadget out of morbid curiosity.

The gang over at Rapid Repair has torn their shiny new Zune HD asunder for your viewing pleaser, or displeasure depending on how gadget squeamish you are. It appears that that teardown is relatively easy to accomplish and you are sure to void your warranty if you open your own up.

Listen up all of you faithful Blackberry users. This device may just convert you to the church of the Jesus phone. This is a keyboard for the iPhone dubbed iTwinge. An actual feel and tactile keyboard for those types who think they are all thumbs and aren’t comfortable using the touchscreen version.

It launches tomorrow for $29.99 and you will be happy to know that you can type as fast as you can on a standard QWERTY keypad. The iTwinge just slips on to the bottom of the iPhone like a pair of iPhone pants and just like that your iPhone has a full fledged QWERTY keyboard.

Sakar International has announced a bunch of new Kodak webcams. The list includes the S100, a driver-free webcam; the T130; an auto focus webcam and the the P310HD, a webcam with a three megapixel sensor which produces HD quality video.

There’s also the W100 and a two megapixel auto focus webcam called the L200. The cameras can automatically connect to IM and VoiP services like AOL, MSN Instant Messenger and SKYPE by automatically launching the app without the user having to do it themselves, which is neat.

Modern Warfare 2 fans have something else to smile about. Infinity Ward has confirmed Microsoft’s plans for a 250GB Xbox 360 Elite with details of a special bundle for the game. The Modern Warfare 2 Limited Edition bundle includes the mentioned added capacity along with a custom paint job on the console. There’s also two wireless gamepads and of course the game itself.

The bundle should already be available for pre-order for $399, which is a great buy when you price each of the items separately. No word on when the console will hit stores. Microsoft also isn’t saying whether it will have any other 250GB versions.

Is that an iMac? No, it’s the new MS200 all-in-one from HP. It just kinda sorta looks like an iMac. It’s kind of sexy, but a little thick. The entire computer is balanced on that angled stand. The computer is running a 1.5 GHz Athlon X2 and has Radeon HD 3200 integrated video for 3D acceleration and movie decoding.

Some other features are 2GB of RAM, 320 GB of hard disk and a DVD burner. It will run you $599. HP makes a webcam and Wi-Fi standard and gives the MS200 a custom MediaSmart front end for photo and video editing or playback as well as Pandora Internet radio and video chat.

Here’s a different kind of slider from JVC Japan. The SP-A130 is exactly what it looks like, a sliding speaker. These portable active speakers are 30mm wide and will deliver stereo output up to 160mW×2ch. The case has a sliding mechanism which protects the actual speakers from dust and dirt.

The unit is powered by 4 AA batteries which will give you 16 hours of continuous play. The speaker also has a passive mode which allows it to draw power from the source.

This is as good a use as we’ve ever seen for an old iMac. Basically somebody just gutted the monitor and created a new home for their pet. Somehow he managed to completely gut it without cracking the thing.

If you want your own hamster living in luxury, this original blue iMac cage is available on Ebay. It can be yours for $350. Great way to force your hamster into Apple loyalty.

We’ve all been in a bathroom where it smells like the undead, but have you ever heard the sounds of the undead coming from your toilet paper roll? This is a toilet paper roll holder that plays such sounds when you pull at the TP.

I suppose it’s a Halloween novelty item and is not intended to help you drop a deuce. Because frankly Zombie sounds don’t help me. Perhaps Zombies are constipated and that’s why they make their sounds. If that’s the case, maybe this is supposed to encourage more roughage.

Adolph was really looking forward to the iPod Touch getting a camera. We all were. I mean there’s a space for a camera in the thing. Why didn’t it get a camera? He makes a good point. I’m sure he’s not alone when he says that he will no longer drink the kool-aid.

Why does the Nano get all of the cool new features? Be warned, there’s a bit of bad language in the subtitles.

No offense to teen/tween girls everywhere, but some things just make you want to vomit. One of those things is this the MiNEW A10 Hello Kitty PC. There goes my lunch. It’s the usual assault of pinkness, cuteness and kitty-ness.

Under the hood you won’t find anything special. A netbook with an Intel Atom processor, 1GB RAM, Intel GMA950 chipset and a 160GB SATA hard drive etc. No word on pricing, but trust us your daughter is going to ask for it.

Bose has seen fit to park an iPod in front of a monolith. This thing must weigh 20 pounds. The subwoofer is the size of a child’s head. And it costs $600. Yet they still call it an iPod dock. It’s about a foot tall. It’s not really all that portable, which I guess it isn’t supposed to be.

The dock connector can be swapped out to suit different players, or, for an extra $150 you can get a stereo Bluetooth adapter. Bose also threw in a composite video port, so you can see photos and videos on your TV.

This is something that many of us have been waiting for. A box that adds all kinds of connectivity options to any networked PC, instead of making consumers purchase separate devices to add NAS capabilities and wireless print sharing.

This is that box. Belkin‘s Home Base handles everything. It includes four USB 2.0 sockets and an Ethernet jack. When connected to your home router, a printer and at least one external hard drive, any machine on the network instantly gets wireless printing abilities and network access to your USB HDDs. But that isn’t all. The Home Base can wirelessly backup your connected PCs by itself and it sports an automatic sharing feature so that you can send photos to Flickr without a care.

We’ve seen tons of bottle openers around here, but this one is perhaps the manliest way to open a bottle ever. Men know two things. Opening bottles and working with tools. And since I’m a man I like to think I know a little something about both.

Craftsman’s Cap Wrench Bottle Opener is basically a opener that acts as a fulcrum and weighs a solid 0.64 lbs. It’s made from solid steel. If your buddies see you opening a beer with this thing, they are gonna know who the alpha dog is. Right tool for the right job.
