Hasta La Gadget!

We know you’ve been literally hanging on the edge of your seat waiting for this day to come, so it’s our honor and privilege to announce that Lenovo and RIM’s Constant Connect solution is now available. For those who managed to sleep right through February, the technology enables select ThinkPads to automatically pull down BlackBerry emails whenever it’s within range, even if the laptop is completely off. There’s no word on what it’ll cost to have this added into your next corporate machine, but you can head past the break for a quick demonstration vid if you think you’re interested.

Update: It’s a $149 option from select business partners and through Lenovo.com.

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.

Dell’s new 24-inch G Series LCD, which was previewed during CES this year, has finally gone on sale at the outfit’s website. The G2410 flat-panel is said to be one of the firm’s greenest LCDs, as it proudly sports an EPEAT Gold rating and utilizes halogen-free laminates in circuit boards along with chassis plastics that contains 25 percent post-consumers recycled plastics. Other specs include a 1,920 x 1,080 resolution panel, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 250 nits of brightness, VGA / DVI connectors and a 5 millisecond response time. It’s all yours for $349, though there’s no apparent discount for hugging a tree prior to pulling the trigger.

[Thanks, Rob]

Remember that limited edition Super Famicom Classic Controller? You know, that one that was once available only to Club Nintendo members over in Japan? By some remarkable feat of magic, wit and unmatched skill, the crew over at Play-Asia has secured stock to sell to the public at large, and wouldn’t you know it, they have no issues shipping to the United States of America. Of course, you could also execute the X2Wii hack in order to make your existing SNES controller play nice with the Wii, but where’s the fun in that? Unfortunately, this piece will run you just over $80 shipped, so you should make sure you’re really as hardcore a gamer as you say you are before plunking down.

[Thanks, Marcus]
