Too busy getting rained on in the New York iPhone 3G S line to stay up to the minute on Crave? Put away that umbrella; we've got you covered. Here are just a handful of the many gadget happenings we had our eyes on this week.

• Not to be outdone on iPhone 3G S Day, Palm pushed out a Pre update.

• Samsung Jet-ted out a speedy new smartphone. But will it be able to charge itself?

• Microblogging met the Commodore 64.

• New Xbox 360 next year? Nay, said Microsoft.

• A cheap Blu-ray-enabled notebook--by Sony standards, that is.

• Brilliant design concept or surefire electric shock?

• Disney trotted out a Minnie laptop (a Minnie laptop, get it?)

• Texting while blindfolded = profitable!
