Dell clears the air on a few mysteries surrounding the Dell Streak, but leaves the big questions, such as price and availability, unanswered.
Sure, we all love USB Flash drives, but with sizes of an inch or two, they’re just huge. Put one in your pocket, and you might actually know it’s there. Remedying this problem is SanDisk with the SanDisk Cruzer Blade. This drive is about the size of a paper clip and weighs about the same as a penny. You might need to put a paper weight on top of it, or your desk fan will blow it away.
The Cruzer Blade comes in capacities ranging from 2GB to 16GB, at prices from $14.99 to $77.99. Despite its size, the company says, it can transfer data quickly. Thanks to its ultra-compact size, you can keep it on a keychain or mobile phone dongle. It comes with a two-year warranty.

You want some cutting-edge tech? We got it. Look at this: DXG is announcing the availability of the first 3D pocket-sized video camera, the DXG 3D Pocket Camcorder. No glasses are required when you shoot and play video with this camera. It has a pistol-grip design, 3D dual lens technology, a 3.2-inch display, and records VGA standard 3D video. You can also snap 5 megapixel 3D still pictures with it.
The camera is sold as a bundle with the DXG 3D Media Player, a photo frame viewer you use to view the 3D images. It offers a 7-inch LCD. The frame also works as an MP3 player, alarm clock, and calendar. This bundle is available for presale exclusively at Hammacher Schlemmer for $599.99. Look for it to ship on August 6, 2010.

So, Dell still won’t say when it will actually start selling and shipping the Streak in the US, but it did clear up a bit of confusion. First off, folks who register with the Streak pre-sale on Dell.com between July 20th and July 27th (yeah, today is the last day) get first access at ordering the phone. Pre-sale-ers will get an email link to buy the phone today, with the handset priced at $299.99 with a two-year AT&T contract, or $549.99 without. Meanwhile, Dell is being even more forthcoming in the Aero. It’ll be available on August 9th for $99.99 with a contract and $299.99 without. So, are you ready for Dell to be a US phone manufacturer? Have you braced yourself? Because the time is at hand.
[Thanks, Jas]
Update: It looks like Dell has pulled its blog post we sourced this from. We’ll let you know if the facts change, but for now we’re gonna stick with these numbers.

We suspect SanDisk would have run into some friction by proclaiming that its Cruzer Blade is the world’s smallest USB flash drive, but it smartly chose to word things as its smallest in order to not draw attention from those other guys. No matter how you slice it, though, this little doohickey is awfully minuscule, being “about the size of a standard size paper clip and weighing approximately the same as a penny.” It’s tailor made to hang off of your existing keyring, and it’s available in capacities ranging from 2GB to 16GB. As for prices? $14.99 to $77.99, and (just about) everywhere in between.

Refraction is a mind-bending idea. Light passes through a clear object, and it comes out the other side, inverted. The Shooting Challenge results that follow are must-sees, the winner is astounding and…well…we busted a cheater, too. More »
