Meet the new Xbox 360. It will launch today for $299. The old Elite will be $249 and the Arcade will drop to $149. The new console looks like a stealth Xbox in glossy black with touch-sensitive buttons. According to Microsoft it’s “whisper quiet,” with one large fan instead of two.

It has integrated 802.11n WiFi, five USB ports, and 250GB of storage on a removable hard drive, though it’s not the same drive as the old console, and older Memory Units won’t work, either. To upgrade you can use a USB-to-Xbox hard drive connector cable to migrate to the new box. What do you think?

An “industry source” speaking with games site CVG, says that Sony will release two new PS3 bundles this year, both including the PlayStation Move motion controller, and one of them featuring a huge 500 GB hard drive. One of the bundles will include a 250GB PlayStation 3 and the Move motion controller.

The other bundle will include a 500GB PlayStation 3 and the Move. That may be overkill. Then again, maybe Sony knows something we don’t. Maybe they have plans that take up a lot of space.

If you were intrigued by the recently announced Nokia, the phone will be available soon at a store near you in North America, according to a report by the Bluetooth SIG. The phone will also hit Australia and South America.

We still don’t have any North American pricing information on this phone, but we do know that it will cost €180 (or $220) unlocked, so it should be priced in that area. Some specs include a 2.4-inch QVGA display, Wi-Fi, HSDPA/HSUPA, A-GPS, Ovi Maps, 3.5mm headphone jack, a 5-megapixel camera with LED flash, 250MB internal memory, and a 2GB memory card included.

Asus has pulled the wraps off a new Eee netbook that is a bit different from the hoards of other netbooks that the company offers. The machine has a larger screen and gets its CPU from AMD, which isn’t common in the netbook realm.

The CPU inside the Eee 1201K netbook is a new AMD Geode CPU. The machine also sports a large by netbook standards 12.1-inch LCD with a 1366 x 768 resolution. The rig has a scant 1GB of DDR1 RAM.

Acer has another new netbook in their Aspire One range with the launch of the Acer Aspire One D260. The Acer Aspire One D260 features a 10.1 inch LCD display that sports a resolution of 1024 x 600.

The processor is an Intel Atom 1.66GHz N455, with Intel GMA 3150 graphics and 2GB of RAM. It also comes with integrated 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0, Ethernet, a choice of either a 160GB or 250GB hard drive, a three cell battery or a six cell battery. The design is another nice one from Acer.

How do you get people to buy bloatware in this day and age? Well, you definitely have to try a new gimmick. Maybe by bundling software packages onto a USB drive or SD card. That’s exactly what PC Treasures is doing with their Netbook Software Suite.

For $35 or less, you can buy their Netbook Software Suite that comes with a 4GB SD card, or a USB drive that is bundled with a whole bunch of software. Stuff like McAfee VirusScan Plus 2010 with a 1 Year subscription, ACDsee Photo Manager, Anytime Organizer, CheckIt Registry Cleaner, Corel WordPerfect Office X3, Cyber Patrol Parental Controls, Laplink Everywhere 5, Mahjongg Ancient Mayas, Stuffit Deluxe 2009; Sudoku, Kakuro, and Friends; SurfSecret Total Privacy Suite; Turbo Backup 7.2; World’s Best Boards Game; and Thunderbird email.

Acer has officially announced the Aspire One 533. It’s a slick looking netbook that features a 10.1 inch LCD display with a resolution of either 1,280 x 720 pixels or 1024 x 600 pixels and comes with your choice of Intel Atom processors. Either a 1.66GHz N455 Atom processor or a 1.83GHz N475 Atom processor.

Nothing on price or availability yet, but some other specs include up to 2GB of DDR3 RAM, either 160GB or 250GB hard drives, Intel GMA 3150 graphics, WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0, and 3G.

I recall seeing the Modu mobile phone at CES a few years back and thinking it was a cool idea. The device is a tiny cellular phone module that you can slip into various different cases to completely changes the device and its interface.

A new Modu phone has surfaced and it is called the T-Phone. The device has a touchscreen and looks like a slick little interface as well. The handset is the first from Modu to have 3G connectivity.

External storage solutions are a big deal and USB 3.0 made them much more usable for those with lots of data they want to back up. The extra bandwidth makes a backup with multiple gigabytes of data much faster.

Iomega has announced a couple new external storage solutions that use the USB 3.0 port. The first of the new solution is the eGo Portable Hard Drive USB 3.0. The device has 10x the speed of a USB 2.0 HDD and is compatible with USB 2.0 ports as well. The device has 500GB of storage and sells for $129.99.

If any animal’s language and lifestyle is suited to Twitter, it’s cats. I don’t know of any animal that speaks short sentences like a cat. And no matter what they say, it usually sounds like the same thing. They don’t do much either. Well, now Sony Computer Science Laboratories has created a device that detects your cats’ activities and Tweets them.

Using just a camera, an acceleration sensor, and GPS, it keeps track of your cats movements and will track basic activities like eating, sleeping, walking, and playing with other cats. Once it determines the activity, it will send one of 11 set text messages via bluetooth to a computer and post it to the cat’s Twitter feed.

One of the things that I don’t like about my high capacity memory cards is moving a lot of pictures from them to my PC in bulk. I tend to just snap pics until the card is full. It can take a long time to transfer lots of GB of pics to the PC via USB.

Pretec has announced the world’s first USB 3.0 memory card reader called the P240. This super fast memory card reader has up to 5Gb/s of bandwidth. That makes it perfect for transferring lots of images and video to and from memory cards.

Acer’s Stream will be running Android 2.1 when it goes on sale and it will include a “brand new” UI. Something they call a “stunningly fluid 3D” skin. This one will compete with the Nexus-One.

Some specs include a 1GHz Snapdragon processor with 512MB RAM, 2GB internal storage (8GB microSD card bundled with it), 3.7-inch WVGA screen, GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and the 5MP camera can shoot videos in 720p. It also has a mini-HDMI port to connect it to your HDTV. This one measures just 11.2mm thick.

The Eyenimal Digital Pet Camera is the first miniature video camera that allows dog and cat owners to see things the way their pet does. The camera hangs around your dog or cat’s neck and captures VGA resolution video at 29 frames a second for 2 and a half hours per charge.

Listen, if you’re putting a camera around your pet’s neck just for kicks, so you can watch some boring ass video of your mutt sniffin’ another mutt’s ass, you need to get a hobby.

Fans of tough and rugged phones will be glad to hear that AT&T has announced that the rugged push-to-talk Samsung Rugby II will be shipping soon. The phone will support AT&T’s HSPA 7.2Mbps network, A-GPS and voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation using AT&T’s Navigator service. It’s tough enough for Mr. T, but even your wimpy hands can use it.

Some other features of the Rugby II include a 2-megapixel camera with video recording capabilities, Bluetooth and microSD card slot. The phone will be shipping on June 6th for $130 with a two-year contract after a $50 mail-in rebate.

OCZ unveiled its new line of Vertex 2 and Agility 2 SSDs a while back. There was also a limited edition of the Vertex SSD with better performance.

OCZ has now announced that it is adding a couple higher capacity versions to the Vertex 2 and Agility 2 lines. The two lines will not come in versions that have 400Gb or 480Gb of storage.
