Looks like Sprint is now offering the Samsung Intercept for pre-order on it’s EVP site. Best Buy did already sell one by accident for $100, so it looks like that may be the price for everyone, not just business customers.

They are asking $99.99 on a two-year contract after rebate. As for features, there’s a 3.2 megapixel cam with video capture, slide-out QWERTY keyboard and your choice of Gray Steel or Satin Pink finishes. We may see an official launch this weekend.

These EXOvault cases for the iPhone look down right awesome. Each is handmade from metal, and some models are engraved with intricate designs. They add a touch of old world metal chic to your iPhone. Each of EXOvault’s cases are crafted from lightweight metals, like brass or anodized aluminum, and feature an inlaid rosewood accent on back.

There’s also a minimal black aluminum case that looks pretty decent. They are priced at $110 to $165. All of the cases are designed for the iPhone 3GS, but hopefully they will out some iPhone 4 designs soon.

Amazon is keeping it’s word about the graphite Kindle DX shipping today. The first shipping notices are now going out. You should have it very soon.

The e-reader is also still listed as in stock, so it looks everything is good if for some reason you didn’t get your pre-order in on time. Maybe they have a larger supply or perhaps there is a reduced demand, you make the call.

Word on the street is that Motorola’s Android-powered Droid X is crippled. While it isn’t shuffling around on a pair or crutches or sitting on shelves in tiny wheelchairs, it does have certain limitations when it comes to HDMI output.

A developer is quoted as saying that the only time the HDMI driver on the device is enabled is when it’s in the gallery mode, which is the native photo and recorded video viewing application. This might mean that users will not be able to copy their high-definition videos into the Droid X and have it played back via the HDMI output.

Here’s yet another choice of eBook store for you to use. Borders has launched its own Kobo-powered eBook store. The bookstore should offer pretty much the same selection as the existing Kobobooks site, though Borders might throw in some special pricing and promotions.

Borders will also be launching its own versions of the Kobo eBook app, which will be available for the iPhone, BlackBerry and Android. Amazon and Barnes & Noble pretty much own the eBook market, with Borders currently targeting a 17 percent market share.

Lenovo has unveiled a new all in one computer that is very thin. The machine has a 21.5-inch full HD resolution screen and is only 18.5mm thick. The machine is so thin it has no internal optical drive.

The optical drive that ships with the A310 is an external USB unit. Other features of the A310 include Bluetooth and a wireless mouse and keyboard. The processor in the machine is an Intel Core i3-350M CPU with an Intel HM55 Express chipset.

Well this phone sure has an odd form factor. The Lenovo P90W features an interesting hinge design that allows it to be flipped open in either portrait or landscape mode. We assume it comes in colors other than pink, but we aren’t sure.

This pink wonder is also a dual-SIM Phone, so you’ll be able to use two SIM cards when you need to. No mention of price yet, but some specs include a 3-inch 240 x 400 pixel display, 3.2-megapixel camera, microSD card expansion, Bluetooth, GSM and UMTS support, and a QWERTY keyboard.

Last year with the economy doing so poorly lots of big and small technology firms ended up laying off lots of workers and closing doors. Microsoft was forced to shed about 5,000 workers.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Microsoft is now getting ready to make new “small” cuts in its workforce. The WSJ source says that these “small” cuts will not be as large as the 5,000 canned last year.

Hitachi has unveiled a new line of external storage solutions called the LifeStudio line. The line comes in several different modes with different features and capabilities. The line offers a slick 3D navigation interface and content aggregation capability.

Fans of Samsung’s Touch of Color design scheme will be glad to know that it’s still in place on the company’s new “eco-friendly” LED displays. Samsung is debuting its 50 and 30 series panels today, with the BX2350 and BX2335.

Both offer a 2ms response time, 1080p resolution, 16:9 aspect ratio and a feature called Magic Return. Magic return lets users working with two monitors have their desktop automatically moved to a powered-on screen if one screen happens shuts down for whatever reason.

Gateway has announced its latest line of netbooks and the new line uses AMD power. The family is called the LT32 series and all feature 11.6-inch HD resolution screens. The line has many of the same features, but do differ a bit.

All of the machine uses an 11.6-inch LED backlit LCD with a resolution of 1366 x 768. The line uses the AMD Athlon II Neo K125 CPU and 2GB of DDR3 RAM is included.

Back in the day, I played a lot of games on the Nintendo, Super Nintendo, and the Sega Genesis. I think a bunch of people out there probably have the games and controllers lying around, but the consoles are broken.

Hyperkin has unveiled a dirt cheap game console that will play cartridges from the SNEs, Genesis, and the Nintendo game system. You can finally get some use out of those old gigantic Nintendo cartridges other than taking them apart to mod.

You won’t have any reception issues with this version of the iPhone 4. No reception problems, no dropped calls, nothing. You can’t make a call on it at all. The Apple iPhone 4 Display Dummy Phone is a white version of the iPhone 4 that weighs the same as the actual iPhone.

Maybe this will make you feel better if you haven’t gotten an iPhone 4 yet. Or use it as a decoy, so a thief can steal the dummy. Or just look trendy and cool without spending a ton of money.

The Piix Smart Band-Aid isn’t designed for cuts and scrapes. It will instead monitor your heart and report your cardiac activity to you. Qualcomm is working with CARDIONET on the device.

It’s capable of beat-to-beat, real time analysis, automatic arrhythmia detection and wireless ECG transmission. The sensors can also be modified to monitor various other cardiac activity. And as they say, knowing is half the battle.

According to a survey, when you compare the reading speed of a paper book with the Apple iPad and Amazon Kindle 2, those devices will slow you down by as much as 10.7%.

The participants took an average of 17 minutes and 20 seconds to read each story, but were found to read 6.2% slower than printed paper when using an iPad and 10.7% slower on the Kindle. The participants apparently complained about the iPad’s weight and the Kindle’s weak contrast.
