Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 Less than $300 Unlocked in the US soon

With the Xperia X10 finally on AT&T, we hear its little brother to hit the States some time soon for a rumored “less than $300” unlocked price point. Sounds ‘bout right seeing the specs of the 3 inch Android 1.6 device: 600 MHz processor and 3.2 megapixel camera. A 2.1 update should be coming to the heavily skinned phone in Q4 so Sony Ericsson might just go ahead and launch with the newer firmware. Stay tuned for more about this tiny handset!

2010 iPod Touch, 6th Gen iPod nano/shuffle Cases Leak

It’s only a matter of time before we get a leaked picture of the actual device but for now, we have the leaked cases of the alleged 4th gen iPod Touch and 6th gen iPod nano/4th gen iPod shuffle cases. I strongly believe that the two top cases are actually iPod shuffle cases due to the fact that there are holes which suggest a clip similar to the ones found on the 2 latest generations of iPod shuffle. The screen is obviously a touchscreen or some other sort of huge rectangular shaped controller. On one side of the case, we have a dock connector and a volume rocker of sorts neighbored by a hold switch.

Dragon Age 2 Gets An Epic CG Trailer

While we’ve had little information on Dragon Age 2, we do know that some fairly large changes are coming to the game series, from a protagonist who has a voice to a more Mass Effect style dialogue system. While some people aren’t fans of the way the series is going, Bioware still knows how to release a very good looking CG trailer and it’s getting me excited for the follow up to one of the best games of 2009!

Facebook rival Diaspora goes live September 15

Earlier this year, Facebook encountered a sh*tstorm of negative claims that privacy was the least of the companies priorities. After the dust settled, a new startup called Diaspora emerged from the rubble and announced they would create the Facebook rival, with privacy being the number one priority. Lets all hope they dont collapse in on themselves like a dying star…

Ultra-Real Toy Story 3 iPad Painting - Video

If there’s one thing that blows my mind, it’s this — Self proclaimed iPad junkie, Kyle Lambert, has taken the time to create stunning works of art using nothing but an iPad and his fingers. This gem, which is a poster for Toy Story 3, was created in 3 hours. It’s hard to believe that someone can create photo realistic paintings, with their fingers — let alone on the iPad. Major props to Kyle. You can check out more of his work on his blog.

Early Digg V4 Mockup - Is it better than the current V4?

Personally, I really like the new Digg and quite frankly, I don’t understand the comparison of Digg and Reddit. Digg I feel is meant for main-stream users like your mom, and Reddit is for geeks and is a 24/7 sausage fest. But the thing is, Digg has gotten into a bit of a mess — copying the core features of Twitter, and made their interface look like a fisher price toy. But on the flip side, have you looked at Reddit’s website recently? It looks like they couldn’t make it look more out-dated if they tried… heck, my 5/yo cousine could do a better job, with crayons and glue!
