Hasta La Gadget!

We might have had full specs and a price for the Marshall Minors for a good couple of months already, but in true rock star form, they’re only now arriving in stock. As of today, your order for a pair of these premium buds will be met with no delay, meaning that if you want to jump on the Marshall Headphones bandwagon, it’s just a matter of clicking a few boxes and dispensing with $59. Keeping up with current trends, Marshall’s Minors come with a secure EarClick system that promises they won’t fall out once inserted as well as an integrated mic and in-line remote for added functionality. All they need now are a good home and a loving owner.

Apple’s flipped the switch on extending iTunes preview clips to the totally revolutionary length of 90 seconds. Only songs that last for two and a half minutes or longer and a limited number of artists are benefiting from this change — which seems to be of Apple’s unilateral doing — and it’s only effective in the US iTunes Store. Trust us, we checked our UK accounts and were met with those mediocre, entirely unsatisfying 30-second previews on everything. We reckon there’s still a little more intrigue left in this tale, particularly when it comes to propitiating the record labels and securing international deals, but we’ll leave those negotiations to the well shaven dudes in expensive suits — for you and us, there’s a whole load of Black Eyed Peas and Kanye West stuff to go and preview.

iTunes’ 90-second song previews go live on select songs, US-only for now originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 09 Dec 2010 02:53:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

To see whether this new update — replete with Game Center, AirPlay and AirPrint additions — really helps the iPad step up to doubleplusgood territory, check out our full review; everyone else, hit up your nearest iTunes 10.1-equipped computer to get your update on.

Update: Plug in your iPhones and iPads, the 624.3MB update is rolling out now. Looks like it’s starting in Europe, given the joyous cackles from our editors across the pond. Screenshot after the break.

To say the Grippity has been a long time in coming would be an understatement. The quirky keypad that stashes the buttons around back seemed to have all but vaporized into thin air after showing some early promise, but hey, it’s back now! Back with a vengeance, which in this case means pre-order availability on its eponymous site at $60 a pop. Mind you, the earliest deliveries are scheduled for February, so we do hope you have enough to distract you while waiting through this holiday season. January should be nice and fun, though, as we’re sure the Grippity guys will find a way to hit up our CES 2011 trailer for another hands-on opportunity with this trackball-equipped peripheral — which is now billing itself as the ideal media center controller. We’ll let you know how well the Grippity plays that role as soon as we can.

Get your SIMs ready, dear readers, for the unlocked GSM Pre 2 has made its promised debut on HP’s online outlet. In spite of looking all too similar to its predecessors, this 1GHz device is still the best (read: only) option for getting your webOS 2.0 action going, so if you simply must have that experience on your smartphone, it’s a no-brainer of a decision. HP will ship it to you in exchange for $450 and if all goes to plan, you could be swiping cards off your home screen in buttery smooth fashion by this time tomorrow.

[Thanks, Michael]
