Samsung’s HMX-R10 HD camcorder aims for April release

Posted in: camcorder, price, Release Date, samsung, Today's Chili

Samsung’s devilishly cute HMX-R10 camcorder stole the hearts of many at CES, but ever since, we’ve been aimlessly wandering about Sammy’s website attempting to locate clues on pricing and availability. Thankfully, it seems some answers are starting to surface, and we’ve only got a month or so before we discover whether these whispers were laced in truth. Reportedly, this pocket-friendly high-def camcorder will be hitting UK streets next month, with early estimates pegging the price at $550. We’re told that Americans may have to wait until sometime this summer before they too can indulge, but at least the Britons will be able to test it out beforehand and give you a little heart-to-heart buying advice.

UMID M1 mbook now less close to US release

Posted in: korea, MID, mobile broadband, mobile internet, MobileBroadband, MobileInternet, release, Release Date, South Korea, SouthKorea, Today's Chili, UMPC, us, usa, wwan

Less close, further away — take your pick. The bottom line is that the UMID M1 mbook that we’ve been secretly swooning over for weeks now may be further away from a US release than any of us Yanks would like. According to new intel gathered by Pocketables, a Stateside release of the MID is still planned, but it’s apt to ship later than previously expected. Furthermore, the units already prancing about in other corners of the globe aren’t likely at all to support US 3G bands, so importing one won’t fill that hole in your soul the way a WWAN-enabled MID should. Better hurry up and deliver the goods UMID, else we’ll be forced to buy a rivaling unit and hack it up to suit our needs. Don’t say we won’t.

Nintendo’s MotionPlus due out prior to Grand Slam Tennis, or June 18th

Posted in: controller, gaming, nintendo, Release Date, rumor, Today's Chili, wii

Stay with us here, okay? For the longest while, we’ve wondered when exactly Nintendo was planning on releasing its long-since announced MotionPlus Wiimote add-on. At long last, pieces are beginning to come together. According to EA Sports’ official Grand Slam Tennis page, said title will be available for the Wii on June 18th. Hop over to a recent Nintendo Power article about said game, and you’ll find producer Thomas Singleton asserting that the MotionPlus accessory is “due out prior to Grand Slam‘s release.” So, putting one and one together, we’ve come to the conclusion that Nintendo should ship its MotionPlus add-on prior to June 18th, or at least prior to whatever day Grand Slam Tennis gets delayed to. Logical?

Philips gives Cinema 21:9 HDTV a price and release date

Posted in: hdtv, LCD, philips, price, Release Date, Today's Chili, uk

We’d already heard during a UK preview show that Philips’ Euro-only Cinema 21:9 HDTV would be priced around £3,000 when it launched sometime this Spring, but now we’ve got some more official details to share (and only half of it is good). So, the good news — we’re told that this behemoth will start shipping “as soon as June.” The bad? The 56-inch ultra-widescreen panel will run you €4,000 ($5,045). Don’t bother turning your head, that’s just your wallet over in the corner wailing.

iriver P20 PMP priced and dated in Japan

Posted in: Japan, PMP, price, pricing, Release Date, ship, shipping, Today's Chili

We’re still no closer to understanding if iriver’s P20 is destined for a US release, but at least the thing’s about to ship in one corner of the globe. The company has decided on a February 27th release date in the wonderfully brilliant nation of Japan, where eager PMP shoppers will be able to exchange ¥39,800 ($436) for an 80GB model. For those who’ve forgotten the details, it sports a 4.1-inch OLED touchscreen (480 x 272), a built-in FM tuner, USB 2.0 connectivity, support for a litany of file formats, an optional card reader for extra expansion and a rechargeable battery good for at least nine hours of playback. Look on the bright side — you’ve been itching for an excuse to visit Osaka, right?

Dell’s Mini 10 launching on or around February 27th?

Posted in: netbook, price, pricing, Release Date, Today's Chili, uk

We’d be highly skeptical of this one (in fact, we actually are highly skeptical), but we’ve seen a Dell rep or two speak the truth before. To that end, we figured it prudent to pass along Sir Paul Synnott’s recent chat with an online Dell UK representative. Upon asking for more details on the future release of the Mini 10 netbook — you know, that machine that was unveiled at CES and then promptly forgotten? — he was amazingly hit back with a definitive ship date: February 27th. He was also told that the power adapter would be a “smaller one, as with the Mini 9,” and that pricing was yet to be determined. We know, it reeks of fish, but the date itself doesn’t sound all that outlandish. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see, eh?
