With all the fuss over the iPhone 4 pre-orders, you might have forgotten about the iPad, but Oprah sure didn’t. In honor of the 10th anniversary of O Magazine, the talk show host reportedly purchased Apple iPad’s for magazine staffers, and topped that off with a round of $10,000 checks.
The gifts were handed out to everyone in the office, regardless of how long they’d worked for the magazine, Advertising Age reported.
“These were personal gifts to the staff from Oprah to thank them for their hard work and dedication to the magazine,” according to a spokeswoman from Hearst, which publishes the magazine.

The world needs another network media player like it needs another eight billion barrels of oil floating around in the Gulf of Mexico, but if you’re somehow still struggling to decide on one of the many, many options available to you, ViewSonic has an alternative up for consideration. The new NexTV VMP75 is a rather compact set-top box, donning a glossy black finish and proud support for streaming Netflix Watch Instantly content. You’ll also get local and network playback of whatever content you’ve got laying around on your nearby hard drives, and around back, you’ll find an Ethernet socket (WiFi is optional), eSATA / USB combo port, a dedicated USB socket (for connecting thumb drives and external HDDs), a S/PDIF audio port, HDMI output and an AV aux plug. ViewSonic claims that you can also stream content from YouTube, SHOUTcast, Flickr and Live365.com, and there’s even an inbuilt web browser if you take pleasure in (presumably) torturous experiences. All you? If so, it’s up for pre-order right now at Amazon and Newegg for $129.99.

Sure we’ve already had our eyes all over Logitech’s CE4100-powered Google TV box and given its WiFi controls on iPhone and Nexus One a try, but we didn’t know exactly what to look for (or, according to Steve, what we’d probably be avoiding) when it hit stores. That’s been put to rest, as the above picture we received reveals we can expect the Logitech Revue with Google TV. Obviously reminiscent of the “with Google” Android branding on handset, the name also ties into its ability to bring together multiple forms of entertainment, we’ll see this this fall if slick branding is enough to get buyers and developers behind the return of Web TV.

Yes, it looks like the PlayStation Move accessories are starting to trickle in. While we’re still lusting after the shooting attachment, we do realize the need for more modest hardware such as that supplied by Nyko. The Charge Station is a pretty straightforward affair: it features four ports for powering up as many Motion Controllers and / or Navigation Controllers, and can be pre-ordered from Amazon for $20. On a related note, we can’t wait to see what CTA comes up with for its Move accessories. We hope there are some Sony-compatible wings in our future!

Apple on Wednesday apologized for technical issues that marred yesterday’s iPhone 4 pre-order process, but said that it still managed to sell 600,000 of the devices in its first day.
“It was the largest number of pre-orders Apple has ever taken in a single day and was far higher than we anticipated, resulting in many order and approval system malfunctions,” Apple said in a statement. “Many customers were turned away or abandoned the process in frustration. We apologize to everyone who encountered difficulties, and hope that they will try again or visit an Apple or carrier store once the iPhone 4 is in stock.”
The new iPhone 4 is not scheduled to hit stores until June 24, but Apple, AT&T and several other retail outlets started taking pre-orders for the device on June 15. Unfortunately, the companies’ systems could not handle the extra demand, and many online buyers were met with timed-out browsers and 404 errors.
Since then, AT&T has suspended pre-orders, as have Radio Shack and Best Buy, which were accepting in-store orders.
The Apple Web site also now says that pre-ordered iPhone 4’s going forward will ship on July 14 rather than June 24.
