If you have been waiting for the Archos Arnova 8, the Android tablet is now available for pre-order in the US via the J&R online store. It will cost you just $159.99. That price isn’t very painful.

To refresh your memory, the Arnova 8 features an 8-inch 800 x 600 resistive touchscreen display, a 600MHz processor, a 4GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, G-sensor, 720p HD video playback support, a USB 2.0 port, two built-in speakers, WiFi and Android 2.1 is running things.

Shopping for a USB stick? Might as well just go to a laundromat or a dry cleaners. There has apparently been a 400 per cent increase in the number of USB sticks being left behind in clothes to be dry cleaned. The news comes from a survey taken by more than 500 dry cleaners and laundrettes. About 17,000 USB sticks were left in 2010, that’s four times the number found in 2009.

It’s an epidemic that shows no signs of stopping. Sometimes it is in your shirt, sometimes in your pants, but it always ends up in the wash. Please do your part and save a USB stick today.

No matter how good the battery is on a device, we need more juice. The iPhone 4, like everything else, always seems to run down at the worst times. And the iPhone 4 also needs a case, so you might as well take care of both problems with one device.

The Boost Case will fit the bill since it has a battery inside. It has a black exterior with blue LEDs to show how much battery life is left in the device. The battery inside has 1700mAh of power and the case is just 0.69″ thick. The case can be charged alone or you can charge the case battery and the iPhone 4 battery at the same time, which is nice.

Canon, well known for their cameras and printers has unsurprisingly introduced two new printers to the world. The new PIXMA MG8120 and PIXMA MG6120 Wireless Photo All-In-One printers feature the company’s new Intelligent Touch System with backlit touch-sensitive buttons and a new light guidance system that eliminates buttons when not in use.

They also boast capacitive touch technology to make navigation easier. The Full HD Movie Print feature lets users select and print individual frames from a video taken with some of Canon’s digital cameras.

The Motorola WX404 has had a visit with the FCC. Details are still pretty scarce, but we think they caught up on old times, asked about wives and kids, bitched about the weather and shared a spot of tea.

Looks like the device will feature a full QWERTY keyboard, tri-band 850/1700/1900MHz CDMA radios, camera, USB port, Bluetooth, microSD card support, and a headphone jack. It’s no iPhone killer or Droid X fighter, that’s for sure, but as a budget messaging phone, it may be swell.

This kind of issue is becoming more common, sadly. Olympus has issued a warning to those who recently purchased the Stylus Tough 6010 shockproof and waterproof camera. About 1700 of these cameras shipped with malware on its internal XD cards.

The camera itself is fine, but the malware on the XD card uses the autorun feature on your PC to launch itself and possibly infect your computer. If you are unsure whether you have an affected camera, you can enter the serial number on the company’s website. (Which is Japanese)

Eco gadgets that don’t require batteries usually have a solar panel in them. Or maybe they require you to crank a handle to juice it up. Well, the BunBun Eco Light has neither. Instead, you just have to twirl it around for about 30 seconds.

All of that kinetic energy will juice the battery and give you 5 minutes of light using a trio of LEDs. You would probably be twirling something anyway, like your keys. The BunBun Eco Light should arrive this month for around $22 in pink, green, purple and black colors.

I am a fan of headphones that sound good for watching movies and playing games on my PC. Good sound is also nice for the few occasions when I want to listen to some music. I am far from an audiophile though and stick to reasonably priced headphones.

If you are an audiophile of the type that will pay big money for a great set of headphones Ultrasone has unveiled its new Edition 8 Palladium Edition headphones. The things feature natural S-Logic surround sound and have 30-ohm impedance.

T-mobile subscribers looking for a new handset can get their hands on the Equinox from Sony Ericsson very soon. The clamshell phone offers features that will appeal to younger users and the device operates on the T-Mobile 3G network.

The Equinox has what Sony calls pulsating light effects. These effects allow the user to assign special light effects to five of their most important numbers. The light effects are in amber, sapphire, beryl, diamond, and amethyst colors.

Two heads are better than one, so two LCD screens slapped together must be better than one. EVGA’s dual-LCD InterView is now finally available to order. It’s selling for as low as $624.99 (or $640 list price). The monitor features dual 17-inch LCDs that can be used in screen-spanning mode for an extra-wide 34-inch display, or be rotated and reoriented for users sitting across form each other gameshow style.

Each display sports 1,440 x 990 resolution, and you’ll need dual VGA or DVI inputs if you want to run it from one computer. Some other features include 8ms response time, a 1.3MP webcam with microphone, and a three-port USB Hub.

NVIDIA GPUs have been at the center of some notable issues with laptops. The GPU was a weak link in some Apple notebooks when the new Mac models with NVIDIA GPUs debuted. Sony is also having a problem with the GPUs in some of its notebooks.

Sony is warning owners of its Vaio laptops that the GPUs from NVIDIA inside the machines may be faulty. The fault could cause the GPUs to overheat and ultimately fail. Sony says that it is offering free repairs and an extended warranty on certain Vaio models that feature NVIDIA graphics made with faulty die and weak packaging.

The InterView 1700 is the latest dual-monitor system from EVGA, targeted specially at business types for presentations, researchers, physicians, financial consultants or other creative professionals. The whole thing consists of two 17-inch LCD monitors that can be rotated 180 degrees vertically and folded 90 degrees horizontally.

Both monitors support a native resolution of 1440 x 900 pixels and feature an 8ms response time and 500:1 contrast ratio. The system also integrates a built-in 1.3-megapixel webcam, three USB ports and DVI connectivity.

The highly anticipated myTouch 3G (aka HTC Magic) will soon make its way to T-Mobile USA in early August. The Android-powered handset features a 3.2-inch HVGA capacitive touchscreen display and a 3.2MP autofocus camera with YouTube and Picasa uploading support.

Some other features include a microSD card slot with an included 4GB microSD card, GPS, WiFi, Microsoft Exchange support and supports quad-band EDGE, UMTS/HSDPA (1700MHz/2100MHz) connectivity. You can pre-order it starting on July 8th for $199 with a 2-year contract agreement.

As computer processors get faster one of the inevitable side effects of the increase in performance is that the processors run hotter. Many PC enthusiasts already know that to overclock their CPU too much means that they need better cooling and liquid is often the first step taken past air cooling.

Corsair has announced a new high performance liquid cooling system called the H50. The system is completely enclosed so there is no refilling or messing about with coolant near your computer. The device is compatible with both AMD and Intel processors and features a 120mm radiator and a copper plate for the CPU.

Samsung is planning the launch of new Android phones codenamed Spica and Bigfoot in Q3. Specifically September. Both of these phones will be built on Android OS version 2.0, which is codenamed Donut. Except for the size and shape, both phones have roughly the same specs:

115.7x53x16.3mm, GSM Quad-band, HSDPA 900/1700/2100, 3″ QAVGA LCD display, 3Megapixel Camera, 1500 mAh battery, 100MB + Micro SD slot, USB 2.0, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS+Compass, OS: Android “donut”, Accelerometer. Supposedly the Samsung Bigfoot will be more of a gaming oriented device, while the Samsung Spica will be an affordably priced mass market device.
