The VuNow platform is sitting a lot prettier, as it has grabbed an OEM deal to be included in Sherwood’s upcoming line of receivers. Already making an appearance as the Netgear ITV2000 standalone unit, now high end amps and surround sound systems will have access to a variety of internet video sources without additional hardware. Verismo’s said it will be pursuing many different opportunities for its technology, we’ll wait and see where the YouTube / CNN / ESPN and more streaming hardware shows up next, though your cable box would appear to be a safe bet.

Kingston got all the bragging rights by rolling out the first 128GB USB flash drive but, with that business now out of the way, other companies are now free to try to one-up ’em, and Edge Tech looks to be among the first to take a crack at it. While it does away with some of the added security and ruggedness of Kingston’s offering, Edge Tech’s latest DiskGO drive does match that magic 128GB storage capacity, and you will still get a seemingly durable aluminum housing, along with some basic encryption software for a bit of extra protection. Most importantly, however, Edge Tech’s drive is more than $150 cheaper than Kingston’s. Unfortunately for you and us, it’s still $390. Look for it to start shipping on July 31st.

The followup to the popular PopcornHour media streamer series has finally been announced, and the list of features makes it look worth the wait. Revealed in a post on the Networked Media Tank forums the C200 contains an upgraded Sigma SMP8643 667 Mhz processor, HDMI 1.3 out, two SATA slots, a drive bay for mounting your own HDD, DVD or even Blu-ray drive (requires internal HDD or 1GB USB stick) and supports a list of networking standards, codecs and containers far too long to recount here. At first glance, only DivX jumps out as missing from the list, have a look at the forum posting and let us know if you spot. Of course, there’s already a video unboxing available, seen after the break (along with the copied list of specs) or check out the full Google translated early hands on impressions from HomeTheater.co.il. The most pressing questions of when will these be available and for how much, will have to be answered at another time.

Intel Core i7 processor, X58 chipset, 6 gigs of memory, and an Nvidia GTX 280M… Anyone want to play Crysis?
This is no desktop mash-up I’m talking about, but a 17-inch laptop. CyberPower announced today the release of its latest gaming computer, the Xplorer X7-Xtreme. This notebook is one of the first, alongside Falcon Northwest and other custom computer builders, to feature an Intel Core i7.
Some bonus features of the Xtreme S1 are a Blu-ray player, HDMI port, and 3.1-megapixel Webcam. The computer comes preloaded with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium. CyberPower offers further customizable options than the base configuration specs listed above.
The price for the Xtreme S1 starts at $2335.
Base specs listed after the jump.
In lieu of a Photoshop Contest this week, we held an MS Paint contest asking you to design your dream iPhone apps. Now we know why you should never, ever design apps in Paint; these are absolutely terrible.
No top three this time because, well, none of them really stood above the rest to me. Maybe you guys disagree. What were your top three favorites?
