Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G bringing keyboard, longwinded name to TMobile September 19th

We knew it was arriving soon, but until now, we weren’t exactly sure what T-Mobile meant when it said the Relay 4G was hitting in the “coming weeks.” Now the magenta carrier is putting the release of the QWERTY handset formerly known as the also verbose Galaxy S Blaze Q at September 19th. The slider will run you and your thumbs $150 with a two-year contract, after a $50 mail-in rebate.

PlayStation Wonderbook starts augmenting your reality in November from $39

If you were intrigued about that Wonderbook PlayStation peripheral we saw back at E3, then your curious wait may soon be over. As of November 13th, you’ll be able to get your wizardy hands on the accessory for the reasonably magic price of $39.99. This is for the book alone, but there’s also a bundle for $79 that includes the Book of Spells game (in collaboration with J.K. Rowling) a Move motion controller and the PlayStation Eye camera. Three other forthcoming titles get a mention too, Diggs: Nightcrawler, BBC’s Walking with Dinosaurs and experiences from Disney, set for release some time in 2013. In the meantime, better start saving up the Galleons.

Star Wars Episode II and III 3D re-releases officially dated for theaters in September and October 2013

Star Wars Episodes II and III 3D rereleases coming to theaters in September and October 2013

Before Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace came back to the theaters earlier this year converted for 3D, the plan was to bring the other five movies to theaters one at a time each year, but that has apparently changed. At the Star Wars Celebration VI event in Orlando (where we first found out about the Blu-ray release two years ago) Lucasfilm announced that Episodes II and III in 3D will be released in theaters back to back in fall of 2013, arriving September 20th and October 11th, respectively. Missing so far from the announcement? A reason for the back-to-back release or any word on Blu-ray 3D plans. In lieu of more details, although it means Attack of the Clones will come back later in the year than Phantom Menace did, with any luck this accelerated schedule is a good omen for the original trilogy’s return. Of course, we’ll have to wait and see what magic can be worked with those older film and special effects elements, however IGN apparently found an early preview of the Episode II 3D footage to be promising.

[Thanks, Rachael]

Panasonic G5 mirrorless camera gets September 13th release date in Japan

Panasonic G5 mirrorless camera gets September 13th release date in Japan

We enjoyed our short time with Panasonic’s new mirrorless G5 in our hands-on last month, even if it was a little on the porky side. And, if you hail from the Land of the Rising Sun and had your heart set on one of these 16-megapixel shooters, Panny’s announced you’ll get your chance from September 13th. We’re getting dangerously close to missing the stateside launch target of August, but where the US website is showing the G5 as unreleased, availability on Amazon tells a different story. We’re reaching out for confirmation on that — as well as pricing — and will update should we hear more.

Nike+ Kinect Training arrives October 30th, looks to whip you into shape for $50

Nike Kinect Training arrives October 30th, looks to whip you into shape for $50We caught a glimpse of that Nike+ Kinect Training had to offer back at E3. Now, we’ll all be able to give it our best shot just before the holiday season. The Kinect exercise title for the Xbox 360 is set to hit shelves on October 30th and will carry a $49.99 price tag. Claiming to make us “athlete-fit”, the software will offer constant tips on form and technique while monthly reports will display progress along the way. Still no word on companion apps for mobile platforms, but the kit is expected to play nice with Windows Phone devices at launch for session reminders and sharing achievements with training mates.

Sprint’s white EVO 4G LTE reportedly set for July 15th release, BOGO on Epic 4G Touch in tow

Sprint's EVO 4G LTE reportedly set for release on July 15

Are you a Sprint customer with a penchant for LTE technology and white handsets? If so, listen up. Intel leaked to blog TechnoBuffalo seems to indicate that the Now Network’s very first LTE-toting handset will be hitting store shelves, in snow white, on July 15th; obviously, we’re talking about HTC’s latest spin on the EVO, the EVO 4G LTE. The albino set, much like its hued brethren already in market, will set you back $200 with a signed two-year commitment, or can be had for $550 contract-free. As an added bonus, it looks like Sprint will also be serving up a buy-on-get-one-free offer on Samsung’s Epic 4G Touch. Purchasing one 4G Touch — scheduled to get Ice Cream Sandwich in the near future — for $99 on-contract will allow you pick up a second set for the always attractive price of $0. Any takers?
