The latest gadget to pass through the FCC is the GoFlex Satellite hard drive from Seagate. Right now, if you want to add a network attached storage device to your network it is a time consuming process of connecting cables, finding a location for your drive near a router, and configuring your network. Seagate will make this process a whole lot easier with this device.

The device packs in 802.11 b/g/n WiFi capabilities, allowing you to add the Satellite to your network without stringing wires from your router to the drive. This also means you can put the Satellite anywhere you have network access. Nothing on pricing or release yet.

Toshiba has just launched several new laptops featuring Intel’s new processors. There’s the 15.6-inch Satellite A665 which has several processor options including the Core i7-2630QM and AMD Phenom II Dual and Quad Cores. Then there’s the 14-inch Satellite M645 that features the Intel Core i5-2410M as standard. Both have multiple graphics options up to NVIDIA GeForce or GT 525M with Optimus, up to 8GB of DDR3 SDRAM, and up to 640GB hard drives.

How about a Satellite A665 3D Edition which features a full HD, 3D-ready display and comes with NVIDIA’s active shutter 3D glasses and #D Vision IR emitter? Right now we don’t have any specific info on availability, but they will arrive in the first half of the year.

Toshiba has announced its new line of T200 series thin and light laptops with low-power processors and an affordable price. The two new laptops are the 13.3-inch Satellite T235 and the 11.6-inch Satellite T215. Both laptops feature Toshiba’s Fusion Chrome finish, with a patterned design on the outside.

They are available in red, white and black and are just an inch thin, and under four pounds. Prices start at $469.99.

We haven’t heard much interesting news from Toshiba lately, but today Toshiba UK has announced the new Satellite U500-1EX, a portable laptop with a 13.3” multi-touch screen. The Satellite U500-1EX feature multi-touch capabilities and uses Microsoft’s Touch Pack for Windows 7 which allows users to flick through files and folders just by touching the screen.

It also features some other touch controls, like tap and double-tap, drag, press and hold, and flick and rotate. If you like getting all touchy feely with your laptop, why not give it a go for $889?

Toshiba’s Satellite L355 is a 17″ laptop running an Intel Celeron Processor. It’s got a great price and you know what that means. You’ll have to make some sacrifices. It doesn’t have a webcam, or HDMI and no memory card reader. Other than that, it’s not bad. This entry level L355 is only $348 and goes on sale at Walmart this Sunday.

Sure, there’s no HD, webcam and the processor is on thew slow end, but if you do not do any serious computing, it’s a winner. It features 3GB of RAM and a 250GB hard drive.

TerreStar will launch their much anticipated satellite-capable Windows Mobile handset on July 1st. It will be available on AT&T. Don’t expect users to go crazy for it like the iPhone, but still many of you government types have been waiting for this one.

The pricetag will purportedly be in the $700 range unsubsidized, and will hopefully cost less than $1/minute, which is the current going rate for satellite calls. Some features include quad-band GSM and dual-band WCDMA. The phone will be sold primarily to local and federal government officials who need coverage in remote areas.

Toshiba has a few new Satellite laptops landing in Europe. The A500 features a 16-inch, 16:9 format display (1366 x 768), a TV-tuner for analog and digital DVB-T programming, Harman Kardon speakers and HDMI ports with REGZA LINK technology. Inside it packs an Intel Core 2 Duo, 8GB memory, ATI Mobility Radeon HD GPU (up to 1GB DDR3 VRAM), and either a 500GB HDD or 64GB SSD.

For those looking for an ultra-portable, the U500 is a 13.3-inch (16:10 format, 1280 x 800) ultraportable that weighs under 4.5 pounds. Under the hood you’ll find an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 8 GB memory, a hard disk capacity of up to 500GB, and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 GPU. It’s available in Brown Luxe, with chrome or silver accents. Battery life is over 3.5 hours.

Here’s another Dynabook notebook from Toshiba. While it looks pretty similar to the rest, the Dynabook Satellite TXW/67JW is available exclusively on its e-Store.

Here’s what’s beneath the hood: Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 2.53GHz processor, 4GB RAM, Intel GM45 Express Chipset, 16” 1,366 x 768 resolution LCD display, 320GB hard drive, DVD Super Multi drive, and Wi-Fi.

Liberty Media has just rescued Sirius XM from bankruptcy, with a $530 million parachute that it will use to pay off debt and keep operations going. Liberty is writing a $280 million check asap, $171 million of which will go straight to debts.

They will also get $250 million more in funding to help with a potential takeover of Sirius by DISH Network. In return, Liberty Media will own 12.5 million shares of preferred stock in Sirius XM. With so much money flying around, it’s amazing that we can be in a recession.

Sirius XM has merged some of its channels and at CES they’ve rolled out their very first interoperable satellite radio: the MiRGE (Get it?, Sirius XM…Merge). It will let you switch between Sirius and XM signals easily and the radio will also display three other channels as you view your current channel.

You’ll even be able to pause and rewind up to 60 minutes of live programming. XM Sirius has also rolled out a new “Sirius Everything plus XM Everything” package for the radio, which will cost you $19.99 a month. Apparently it gives you everything you’d get when you subscribe to the two separate services.

About a year ago, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin announced that he would one day like to be able to pinpoint the location of his black Labrador, Koni, at any time using a Russian satellite navigation system known as GLONASS.

Yesterday, he did it. Mr. Putin procured a satellite collar that will allow him to track her, no matter where she is in Russia. (This dog must get around) According to Putin, “She’s wagging her tail, she likes it.” The system will be fully working for Russian territory by the end of this year.

When most people want a new notebook, they look around online and then go to a retail store to buy. Enthusiasts wanting system that you can’t buy in retail outlets may actually order online, but the average consumer wants to walk in a store and leave with their new computer.

To help the retail shoppers find a machine with good performance, Best Buy and Toshiba have teamed up for a Satellite E105 notebook that is a Best Buy exclusive. The notebook has a 14.1-inch LCD and offers up to 5.5 hours of battery life.

Hauppauge’s new WinTV Nova-S USB2 is geared toward users who already own a satellite dish connected to the main TV. With this device, you’ll have a secondary tuner for casual viewing. The tuner will also allow a PC to view HD content, keeping in mind that your PC has to be up to the task with the necessary software installed.

The WinTV Nova-S USB2 will also let you record TV programs onto your PC when you’re not around, which makes this somewhat of a set-top box as well. The WinTV Nova-S USB2 retails for £79.99 and should come in pretty handy for some users.
