• 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?

• 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?
