We had heard that Nintendo and the American Heart Association would be making an announcement today. Naturally we thought that it was regarding Nintendo’s Vitality Sensor. Turns out that it was about something else entirely. The AHA has announced that it’s giving its stamp of approval to the Wii.

Wii Fit Plus and Wii Sports Resort too. That’s a big first for a video game console and as ABC News points out, the association hasn’t seen fit to put its seal on other “active” things like baseball bats. It had a good reason to do so in this case, however, as the organization says it will be receiving $1.5 million from Nintendo over three years as a result of the partnership.

With laptops being such a part of our daily lives, we still need a desktop for serious work sometimes. So Dell is on it and has announced its new Studio XPS 7100 line of desktop computers. They are powered by a bunch of processors from AMD, including the quad-core Phenom II X4 or hexa-core Phenom II X6 processor.

Pricing starts at $499, and you can already begin shopping for this desktop computer right now. Configuration options include: AMD hexa-core and quad-core processors, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Professional 64-bit or Ultimate 64-bit, 2GB RAM upgradable up to 16GB, Integrated ATI HD4200 graphics, or HD5450, 5770 or 5870 graphic cards, SATA HDD up to 1.5TB, Optional Blu-ray drive, Optional Wi-Fi b/g/n and Optional Bluetooth.

Not everybody can afford the big expensive toys, so HP has some entry level monitors to offer you. HP is planning to launch three new low-priced displays, the 20-inch S2031, 21.5-inch S2231 and the 23-inch S2331. They feature a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, VGA and DVI-D connections, 5ms response time and the use of a two-lamp panel instead of four-lamps, which lowers the power draw.

The S2031 will feature a 1600 x 900 pixel resolution, while the other two models will offer the full 1080p resolution. Pricing for these monitors is $150, $190 and $220.

I expect pretty much all my computer gear and gadgets to be able to perform multiple functions today. I don’t have the room on my desk for a printer, copier and a scanner. That is why I went with an AIO printer long ago.

Epson has announced a new AIO printer called the Stylus NX420 that is the first to offer 802.11n connectivity for under $100. The printer carries a price of $99.99.

Well, Steve did say that it would be revolutionary, and if you are going by sales alone, the iPad is living up to it’s master’s hype. On Friday, “just 28 days after its introduction,” Apple sold its millionth iPad. Of course, that isn’t all.

1.5 million ebooks have been downloaded to the device, along with 12 million apps. This in less than half the time it took to achieve the milestone with the original iPhone. And demand for the iPad continues to outstrip supply.

If you want to go green, but aren’t sure where to start, maybe you can start with this alarm clock. It doesn’t use any electricity and it’s not solar powered. Instead, it runs on the power of water.

In fact, this clock runs on water for 1.5 weeks without having to refill the water tubes. It would make a great conversation piece and you’ll know that you are doing your part for the environment. Just in case you forget to water it, it also has a backup cell battery.

This seven-inch, 800 x 480 device from Eken is selling for $680 RMB in China. That’s $99.53 to us. Seems like a bargain until you look closer. It has only 2GB of storage, which can be expanded to 32GB with SD.

Some other features include a VIA 8505 processor, two hours of battery life on a single charge and has Android 1.5 installed. So really, it isn’t much of a bargain after all. Oh well.

HP has announced three new All-in-one PCs. These are all sleek and affordable. The new HP All-in-one 200 features a 21.5″ LED backlit display and is powered by the Intel 2.7ghz e5400 Processor, with 4GB of ram, a 500GB hard drive, DVD burner, 7 USB ports, memory card reader and a 1920×1080p resolution.

Connectivity features include USB, S-Video port, D-Sub, DVI, and Component connectors. It’ll be available in three sizes: 42-inch, 55-inch and 47-inches.

Q1 2010 has come and gone and financials for many tech companies are starting to come out. So far, Intel and Google have both posted strong financials for the quarter.

AMD has now offered up its financials and the company reports that it has had record Q1 revenue. Revenue for the quarter was $1.57 billion with net income of $257 million. Operating income was $182 million with a gross margin of $130 million.

BenQ’s new GL series of monitors boast a 12,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. It’s the industry’s highest and, according to BenQ, helps to add “color depth and definition to darkened and complex visuals.” Aside from that, the 18.5-inch GL930, 19-inch GL931, 20-inch GL2030, 21.5-inch GL2230 and 22-inch GL2231 models each have fairly standard specs.

We’ve seen plenty of iPad clones, but Moonse’s new E-7001 tablet will sell for as little as 900 Chinese yuan (or about $130) if it is ever available. For that price you get a 7-inch touchscreen, a 600MHz Rockchip RK2808 processor (which might be upgraded to a Cortex-A8 before launch), Android 1.5, an SD card slot, built-in WiFi, and five hours of battery life.

It’s a bit thicker than an iPad, and supposedly weighs just 0.7 pounds, which is about half the iPad’s weight. There’s also a front-facing camera and a USB port.

Samsung is introducing the Beam SPH-W9600 in Korea. It comes with a 3.3 inch AMOLED screen with touch sensitivity, a 5 megapixel camera and a 9 lumen projector module that will throw images up to 50 inches.

This one is 1.5 times brighter than their last effort. Some other features include Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, HSDPA, DMB terrestrial digital TV tuner, front facing camera, 11 GB of on-board memory and a card slot for expansion. No word on availability of the Samsung beam here or in Europe, but time will tell.

All-in-one desktop computers are pretty popular, but they don’t always look this nice. Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS) has a sexy alternative in their Morph-A all-in-one computer. The design and color choices set it apart from the rest on the market.

We don’t have any info on a price or release date yet, but some specs include a 21.5-inch 1920 x 1080 full HD display, Intel Atom D410 or D510 processor, Up to 4GB of RAM, 2.5-inch hard drive bay, DVD burner, 5-in-1 card reader, Built-in speakers, Six USB 2.0 ports, Optional Wi-Fi, Optional 3G and Optional WiMAX.
