Marantz has unveiled its 2010 line of high end receivers, amplifiers, pre amplifiers and Blu-ray players, and naturally the headlining upgrades have to do with streaming internet video access, Blu-ray 3D and HDMI 1.4 compatibility. You can check out the press releases for all the details, but we’ll highlight the UD7005 ($899, due in September) and UD5005 ($499, August) “Universal Media Players,” which earn the tag by including everything SACD, DVD-Audio, DivX and even Blu-ray 3D playback, plus improving on their predecessors by featuring DLNA v1.5 streaming access and built in Netflix and YouTube compatibility. One disappointment however, while some are still waiting for an updated version of the flagship SR8002 receiver, with only new editions in the form of the SR5005, SR6005 and SR7005 receivers. The SR7005 features six HDMI 1.4a inputs, with Windows 7-compatible DLNA, iPod, IP control, Pandora and the other usual feature boxes checked when it ships next month for $1,599.

Marantz adds Blu-ray 3D, internet streaming features across 2010 Blu-ray player, audio line originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 23 Jul 2010 18:17:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

iPhone 4 owners looking for a bumper or a case to fix the now-infamous “death grip” signal loss issue can get one on Apple’s dime (or qualify for a refund of the Apple bumper they already purchased) today thanks to the Apple iPhone 4 Case Program. Apple opened the doors on the program today; qualifying iPhone 4 owners will be able to sign up to receive an Apple bumper or a third-party iPhone 4 case for free.

To participate, all you have to do is download the iPhone 4 Case Program app from the iTunes App Store and launch it once. Once the app validates you have an iPhone 4, the app will allow you to select from Apple’s approved bumpers and cases. The supported case selection is fairly modest, featuring designs from companies like Speck, Griffin, and Belkin. iPhone 4 owners who got their phones prior to July 23rd have to apply before August 22nd, and the program itself runs until September 30th for anyone looking to buy an iPhone 4 now.
