The HTC Status, formerly known by it’s dreaded ChaCha name, is now available for pre-order through AT&T. This Facebook phone has a dedicated Facebook button and a full QWERTY keyboard for updating on the social networking site. It’s priced at $50 on a two-year voice and data contract and arrives on July 17.

It features a small 480×320 resolution display and Best Buy will offer an exclusive color for the Status when it arrives, probably black or violet. It’s just a week away.

If you have an Xbox 360, but not much space in your room, check out Nyko’s Zoom for Kinect. It’s a clip on device that allows players to stand closer to the console, reducing the amount of space needed to play games.

Nyko now has a firm ship date and expects it in stores on August 23. The device snaps over the Kinect’s sensor and refocuses the Xbox 360 motion controller’s cameras to a closer distance. It requires no extra power. Now players can stand up to 40 percent closer to the console.

It’s a good day for Star Trek fans. CBS has released an official PADD app for the iPad for $5 in the App Store. The app recreates the LCARS interface from TNG-era Trek and is a database for the Trek universe with characters, ships, species, and TV episodes.

It even has sound effects and diagnostic demos from the NCC1701-D Enterprise. In time they should release more content for it.

The last news that we heard about the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update for the HTC Desire was that HTC was testing it. More specifically that they were running ‘quality assurance’ testing on it to make sure it worked with the Desire.

Now HTC has announced that the testing went smoothly and that the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update will be delivered to the Desire by the end of July. Great news since we are halfway through the month already.

This new leaked photo coming out of China shows an interesting feature that caught us by surprise. A 3D camera. We don’t know if it is a legitimate shot of the iPhone 5, but hey why not? 3D is all the rage right? The question is, do you want a 3D camera on the next iPhone?

We certainly never thought that Apple would jump into 3D market, but a dual camera sensor array has been rumored before for the iPhone 5. I guess time will tell us all we need to know.

Rumor is that users will be able to pop a 3G SIM card into the next iPod Touch and subscribe to a data plan of their choosing. AT&T and Verizon Wireless already offer 3G service for the iPad, so a connected iPod Touch would presumably work just like they do.

If this rumor turns out to be true, this is great news for those wanting a data only phone. Skype could replace a traditional voice plan, and iMessages, the messaging service that will launch with iOS 5 this fall, could reduce the need for SMS. Using data-based services could lead to big savings on a monthly smartphone bill.

Here’s a minimalistic approach to a speaker if we ever saw one. It was designed by Hironao Tsuboi for Kent of British American Tobacco. The Vol is a volume knob with a speaker built in. Obviously this makes the Vol speaker very portable.

In fact the only way of controlling it is the dial on top. You use it to switch it on and off and to adjust the volume. If it makes it to market, the USB rechargeable speaker will be made out of aluminum and measure just 2.2 inches in diameter and 1.4 inches in height.

Here’s something that Star wars fans will love. It looks like Microsoft is prepping a limited edition R2-D2 Xbox 360 console with Kinect sensor that will launch with the forthcoming Kinect Star Wars.

The machine will likely not be droid shaped, but it will be in a blue and white paint job as well as the Kinect sensor itself. You are going to want to trade in your old XBox for this one for sure.
