Apple introduced and upgraded line of the popular MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops yesterday including the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processors, MutiTouch and much more. "Multi-Touch technology from iPhone, iPod touch, and MacBook Air comes to MacBook Pro in an amazing new Multi-Touch trackpad. Now you can pinch, swipe, or rotate to enlarge text, advance through photos, or adjust an image." "MacBook Pro has a standard hard drive up to 250GB and up to 4GB of RAM. So there’s more room for even bigger ideas." "The new Intel Core 2 Duo processors run at speeds up to 2.6GHz on a groundbreaking 45-nm process technology with up to 6MB L2 cache. And the powerful NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor now includes up to 512MB of video memory." "Connect storage, multimedia devices, and high-speed peripherals to your MacBook Pro. Along the sides, you’ll find a FireWire 400 port, a FireWire 800 port, a DVI port, optical audio in and out ports, and an ExpressCard slot. There are three USB 2.0 ports on the 17-inch MacBook Pro and two on the 15-inch models." Click here for more on the new MacBook line.

When the CyberShot line of digital cameras was introduced way back in the beginning of the digital craze, Sony stepped up and changed the game for everyone. Now, several years later, the CyberShot point and shoot brand is being upgraded to 13.6 MegaPixels. The DSC-W300 in particular is Sony's top end point and shoot featuring a 13.6 megapixel sensor, a 2.7-inch LCD, 3x optical zoom, optical image stabilization and up to ISO 6400 shots in "extra high sensitivity" mode. You also get Sony's patented "Smile Shutter" technology as well as many other features. This particular model is due to be released in May for a reasonable price of around $350.

DLO has just released a very unique and travel friendly set of speakers for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Featuring an extra-wide sound stage and bass vents for delivering powerful sound, these small speakers pack a powerful punch."

Sony Ericsson is very well known for class and quality when it comes to mobile technology and their new line of phones are right in line with that thought. Several new Sony Ericsson phones were announced this week, but three in particular hit the mark including the new w980i walkman phone, the XPERIA X1 with full touchability and finally the all new G series. The W980i (pictured above) is an 8GB Walkman (Mp3) phone with the works including a full 320x240 screen, 3.2 megapixel camera with video recording, HSDPA connectivity, MP3 and AAC compatibility, Bluetooth Stereo A2DP and TrackID, FM radio and much much more. This has to be one of SE's best looking Walkman phones to date. More info at SonyEricsson.com. Next up, the XPERIA X1 (pictured above) is a full blown Windows Mobile multimedia device including a unique slideout keyboard, 3-inch 800x480 touchscreen, Wi-Fi, and 400 MB of internal memory (expandable with microSD support). This thing looks pretty slick and is slated for a mid 2008 release. Get more info at SonyEricsson.com or check out the interface video HERE. Finally, the new G series (G900 pictured right) features a full touch screen, Wi-Fi and a 5MP camera to keep you busy ...

There was no indication last month at MacWorld that increased capacity iPhone's and iPod Touch's would be available any time soon. But, after a very quiet Apple Store update today, you can now purchase the iPhone with up to 16GB of internal memory and the iPod Touch with up to 32GB. Both new iPod and iPhone models are available now and run a fairly steep $499.00. Again, it's just kind of weird that Jobs had noting to say about these updates during his presentation last month, but I'm sure they wanted to keep the attention on the MacBook Air. I for one would love to upgrade my tapped out iPhone, but at $499 for only 8GM more, I think I will wait a while.

Garmin is planning on making their mark within the mobile market this year by introducing the "Nüvifone". Judging from the features and specs, the Nüvifone might actually provide some decent competition for the iPhone. For starters (obviously), the Nüvifone will combine the best GPS navigation on the market with a 3.5G mobile phone including a full touch screen, internet browser, media player and much more. No specifics on price at this point, but the Nüvifone is slated for a 3rd quarter 2008 release. Read the entire press release below. Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (Nasdaq: GRMN) and the world’s leading GPS manufacturer, today announced its entrance into the mobile phone market with the nüvifone, an all-in-one, sleek and slim, touchscreen device that combines a premium phone, mobile web-browser, and cutting-edge personal navigator. The nüvifone is a work of art in features, design and functionality and is destined to transform how individuals connect, communicate and navigate their life. “The nüvifone is an all-in-one device offering unmatched integration of utility and function in a single mobile device,” said Cliff Pemble, Garmin’s president and COO. “This is the breakthrough product that cell phone and GPS users around the world have been longing ...

With all the news on Apple and the new MacBook Air, I'm sure it's refreshing to see something new and different from a company like Sony. I have to say that I wouldn't trade my VAIO for an Air or any other MacBook simply because it has been fast and reliable since the day I bought it. But now that Sony is updating their entire line of VAIO's, maybe it's time to make an upgrade. Starting with the T series (pictured) is now stacked with a 1.2GHz Core 2 Duo U7600, 2GB of RAM and most importantly, comes in the design of your choice. Looks is really all that matters anyways. If you are looking for something with a bit more juice and screen size, the 17 inch A series features the new Penryn chips. No snazzy designs on the A series, but they still look good.

Conceptualized and designed by Baek Uyeol, the Faucet Buddy brings your boring old sink to the next level. Simply attach it to any standard faucet, turn on the water and the Faucet Buddy will tell you how much water you are using as well as the current temperature via a nifty looking display. You will never get burned again by sink water because the Faucet Buddy actually illuminates flowing water red or blue depending on the current temperature. The Faucet Buddy concept is actually meant to help you conserve water by telling you how much water is going down the drain but I think geek consumers might actually use more water just to see it in action. This is only a concept for now, but I wouldn't be surprised to see something very similar hit the market sooner than later.
