Dell has partnered with Major League Baseball to celebrate the 2010 MLB All Star Game. Players and members of the coaching staff were each given a Dell Inspiron Mini 10 netbook that came customized with MLB Teams, featuring fan artwork from the Dell Design Studio.

MLB fans can personalize their notebooks with one of 95 different MLB team designs. An optional Digital TV Tuner will allow owners to watch highlights of the games while watching the actual live games. The lid designs, available on Dell’s Mini and Studio laptops, range from subtle team logos in one corner to full-cover designs that scream fanatic.

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab, the company’s upcoming Android-powered tablet has now been confirmed to feature a pair of cameras. Obviously one of them is used for capturing video while the other is for still shots.

We don’t have any word on megapixel count yet, but it will likely have a similar camera to the Samsung Galaxy range of smartphones. Some other specifications include GPS navigation, Wi-Fi and 3G, and a pre-October release date has mentioned in rumors.

The folks at Samsung are doing the Wave, both figuratively and literally. Samsung didn’t expect their Wave smartphone to be as good a seller as the iPhone or EVO 4G, so the company has reason to celebrate. Their first bada phone has passed the 1 million mark in terms of global sales.

Keep in mind that this figure was reached before it reached it’s 4 week birthday. It will be interesting to see some more numbers as time goes by, but for now Sammy is happy indeed.

So many people are still using windows XP that Microsoft has confirmed that it will continue to allow folks who purchase a Windows 7 computer to get a downgrade to Windows XP for the duration of Window 7 Professional’s support lifecycle, which ends in January 2020.

Windows 7 Ultimate users can get a downgrade until 2015. Windows Vista will still be available as a stand-alone box set until October 22nd 2010, while system builders can continue to preload it until 2011.

It has been pretty much confirmed that Microsoft’s Kinect will be priced at $150. But what we didn’t know is that the games are going to sell for $60, and none come bundled with the hardware. This new Wal-Mart preorder bundle for the Kinect hardware, one game of your choice and a $30 online-only gift card for $199 also shows games like Kinect Adventures and Joyride listing for $60.

I’m guessing that is probably about twice as much as you expected. Floored us too. So you are expected to drop $210 for the hardware and a single game. That’s ridiculous. At least one game should come with it.

Sony thinks we need more 3D so Sony’s 3D Blu-ray update for the PS3 console will arrive in September, a few weeks earlier than expected. There’s also another update in the works that will add support for 3D YouTube, and 3D photos that use the .mpo format.

Users will be able to capture 3D photos from supported cameras and view the content using a PS3 and 3D compatible TVs. Some of the supported cameras include the recently announced Cyber-shots with 3D photo capture.

Barnes & Noble has announced the NOOKstudy online reading and study platform for students. The program allows students to manage eBooks and notes all in one place. Users will be able to access their textbooks, lecture notes, slides, images etc all from one place, which should make their college lives easier.

The best part is that students won’t have to carry those heavy textbooks around like they used to. It might save their aching backs. NOOKstudy is compatible with both Macs and Windows PCs, and is already being used in research institutions. Pretty nice.

If you want to double your iPhone 4′s battery life, the Exolife battery case claims to do just that. But even if it doesn’t, at least you get a case that’s slim, light, and will give you some extra juice. It’s good looking.

The case weighs just 59 grams including the rechargeable Lithium polymer battery. It even features a polycarbonate frame and an Illuminated power meter. It costs about $90 and will be available at the end of the month.

Velcro is one of the best inventions ever. It allows us to wear shoes that don’t need tied, keep swimsuits fastened without zippers or buttons, and hand stuff on the wall and still be able to get it down easily.

Velcro would be great in many industrial uses too, if it could withstand heat and chemicals. A new metallic Velcro has been spied that has hooks and loops made from metal. The stuff is crazy strong.

Consumer Reports stated that it “can’t recommend” the iPhone 4 until the antenna issues are fixed. It’s labs as well as others have verified the issue. Now it looks like Apple is trying to mind-wipe their users of the whole affair.

Apple has apparently deleted threads about the Consumer Reports article from its support forums. Keep in mind, this is nothing new; there’s moderation, plus the company regularly deletes discussion of hardware flaws that it’s not ready to confess to. Plus, Jobs was responsible for deleting R2-D2′s memory of Anakin building 3PO, so the prequels would make sense. Thank God Apple doesn’t own the internet.

Generally, a supercomputer brings to mind a power-sucking vortex of raw performance crammed inside a slick and simple cabinet that hides most of the hardware. The Grape-DR supercomputer isn’t your typical supercomputer model though.

The little beastie lacks the cabinet to hide all the hardware. Instead of that cabinet, the Grape-DR has a tangled mess of wires that will one day give a system admin a nightmare. The machine has super computer power though.

Carbon fiber and titanium are materials that are often used in the racing and aerospace industries. The materials are used because they are strong and very lightweight.

You don’t often hear of carbon fiber and titanium being used in the coaster market though. A company called Black Badger has unveiled just such a coaster. Each of them is made from a patterned roll of carbon fiber and titanium.

Controlling the music and content on your iPod or iPhone is easy to do with the Apple menus. Things can get more difficult if you have to use a system on an accessory that is different though. BMW has announced that it will support the iPod Out feature on iOS4.

The feature will allow BMW to put the actual menus from the iPod touch or the iPhone onto the cars in dash screen. BMW will support the feature on future BMW and Mini models.

Chinese-based company Chile is showing off their latest Android tablet, the T7-3G. This one is powered by a 720MHz ARM11 processor and features a 7-inch 800 x 600 resistive touchscreen display, 256MB RAM, 2GB of storage space, an SDHC card slot (up to 32GB), web browser, 1080p Full HD video playback support, 3G, WiFi, a USB 2.0 port, a 3.5mm headset jack and it runs Android 2.1 OS.

There’s also a 4500 mAh battery and an integrated accelerometer so that the screen rotates automatically when you change the orientation of the device. Nothing on pricing and availability yet.

You might remember that back in May we told you about the upcoming Blackberry tablet. Well, apparently now an analyst and managing director at Rodman & Renshaw speculates that this tablet will feature a 7-inch touchscreen display with a few cameras and a 1GHz processor from Marvell.

One possible chip might be the Marvell 1GHz Armada 610 processor, which is aimed at tablets, mobile Internet devices, and e-readers. The chip features full HD 1080p playback, 16-megapixel image captures, and advanced 3D graphics.
