Hasta La Gadget!

No need for a fanciful new HDTV? Not even a new Segway? There’s some colorful home entertainment gear for you yet. The famed gadget painting company just announced that Microsoft’s shiny new Xbox 360 is the next to go under the gun, with near limitless color options waiting to be splashed onto each and every panel. If you managed to already pick one up, Colorware’s charging $175 for the send-in option; if you’re looking to buy new, that’ll cost you at least five Benjamins. But hey, that’s nothing for the satisfaction of owning a game console that’s part orange, part lime green and part purple, right?

It’s not totally unexpected, but apparently HP is laying off some Palm staffers now that the buyout is official. We don’t know exactly how many people are being let go, or in what departments — it certainly makes sense for HP to trim away some administrative and support positions as it integrates Palm into its larger organization — but there’s no question that Palm’s lost some key people ever since this turmoil began, and we’re definitely curious to see who’s left standing after these cuts. For what it’s worth, Palm told All Things Digital that “part of the integration strategy is consolidation of functions and operations, as appropriate,” and that “Palm employees overall are enthusiastic about having the financial stability and global scale necessary to complete their vision,” so we’ve got hope — after all, HP needs Palm just as much as Palm needs HP.

It looks like those worried that firmware site Shipped Roms would disappear after being hit with a cease and desist letter from HTC can now rest a bit easier — Conflipper, the man behind the site, says that it is “here to stay.” That news comes after the site was apparently able to work out a deal of sorts with HTC, in which it has agreed to no longer host so-called test or carrier files (HTC is said to be providing it with a complete list of files it doesn’t want hosted). Conflipper also says that he’s asked HTC about becoming a license partner, which HTC seemed to at least be open to. Of course, those test and carrier files are one of the big draws for the site, so we’ll just have to wait and see exactly what’s left when everything shakes out.

[Thanks, Brian W.]
