RIM’s BlackBerry Curve 8900 officially hitting AT&T in “early summer”

Ah, ha! So the rumors were true. Just a day after we heard that RIM’s BlackBerry Curve 8900 would be making its way from T-Mobile over to AT&T comes this — official confirmation from the carrier itself. Loaded with WiFi, GPS and a 480 x 360 resolution display, this ‘Berry includes free AT&T WiFi at over 20,000 hotspots (with an unlimited data plan, ironically enough) and a 3.2 megapixel camera. There’s also a microSD / SDHC slot that supports cards up to 16GB in size, and while AT&T’s not being very forthcoming with pricing (as in, there’s no word given at all), loyal customers can expect it to land sometime in “early summer.” In other words, all this release has done is extinguish the rumor fires — ‘preciate it, Ma Bell.

Tonium’s 60GB Pacemaker pocket DJ now on sale in US

After an unbearably long wait, Tonium’s 60GB Pacemaker is finally on sale here in the US of A. Hailed as the planet’s first “pocket-sized DJ system,” this 60GB portable media player boasts two “turntables” and a “mixer” — all within a unit that easily fits within most medium- to large-sized palms. As expected, users have access to two independent audio channels and can beatmatch with the press of a button. If you’re interested in living out your dreams of being a mix master in the late 80s, you can have one shipped out right away from Amazon in exchange for $499.99. And no, we won’t tell your kids. The full release is just past the break.

RIM’s BlackBerry Curve 8900 hitting AT&T next month?

We’re beginning to wonder if we’ll ever see RIM’s BlackBerry Curve 8900 hit the AT&T airwaves, but considering just how long it takes for a phone to navigate through the carrier’s absurdly long certification process, we’ll chalk this one up to technical delays. After spotting the so-called Javelin in AT&T attire way back in November of last year, Boy Genius Report now has it on authority that the handset will finally debut next month. Unfortunately for those hoping for a little bonus in exchange for their patience, it’s said to be “a mirror” of the T-Mobile version outside of the bundled Bold themes. Pricing details are still under wraps, but if you’ve waited this long, do the dollars really matter?

Cowon’s 32GB S9 PMP goes on sale in America

We knew you’d do the right thing Cowon, we just knew it. Barely a fortnight after the company introduced its most capacious S9 to date over in South Korea, said player has made its way stateside… at least that’s the impression that we get. Listed now as “in stock” on Amazon, the 32GB Titanium / Black unit is shown as being sold by JetAudio, which just so happens to be Cowon’s official online home for sales. If you surf over to the S9 section on JetAudio’s website, however, the 16GB model is still listed as the largest one available. We’re guessing the latter’s admin hasn’t had time to update things between that Friday night rave and that six pack of Dos Equis on Saturday, but we hear Amazon has a pretty good reputation, anyway.

Nikon’s D5000 DSLR (and its articulating display) shipping April 27th

Oh, goodie goodie! Merely ten days after the D5000 was formally introduced to the world — and just hours after Amazon’s pre-order page went live — we’re now being told that Nikon’s first DSLR with an articulating display will be shipping in three short days. Starting on April 27th, the cam will begin making its way out to those who pulled the trigger early on… at least in kit form. We don’t expect the body-only configuration to leave the docks for at least a week or so later, but you can rest assured we’ll be giving one a go and letting you know if it’s worth the cheddar.

[Thanks, Jonathon]

Samsung does things backwards, gets official with N110 / N120 netbooks

It’s odd, really. Shortly after Samsung’s N110 ($469) and N120 ($459) netbooks went on sale and saw reviews, the creating company has at long last come forward with official press shots, specifications and pricing. Not surprisingly, both machines are confirmed as “on sale now,” with the pair sporting a 1.6GHz Atom N270, 1GB of DDR2 memory, a 10.1-inch WSVGA display, 160GB hard drive, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, three USB 2.0 sockets and a 1.3 megapixel camera. If you’re wondering how the N120 got ten points closer to the top rung, it ups the ante ever-so-slightly with a “2.1-channel” sound system, a six cell Li-ion battery and a 97 percent full-size keyboard.

Samsung’s 2009 Blu-ray player lineup officially priced

When Samsung’s 2009 Blu-ray player lineup was outed at CES this year, all pricing and release date information was conveniently omitted. At long last, Sammy has pushed out the details we’ve been waiting for at its Spring Fever event in New York City. Granted, the BD-P3600 and BD-P1600 are already on store shelves for $399.99 and $299.99, respectively, but we figured it prudent to pass along those official numbers straight from the source. Of note, we’re also told that the ultrathin BD-P4600 will indeed be coming in April for $499.99, and if Best Buy’s website is to be believed, it’ll be April 19th if we’re talking specifics.
