Asus Announces Full Specs Of Their Eee PC 1005HA Netbook
I'm curious to know how long the battery will last in real-time tests though because I'm still looking for that netbook with 8 hours of life. Anyways, the 1005HA will apparently come in a couple of colours, like black, pink, white, and blue. The price and release date has not been mentioned, so I'll get that for you at a later date.

Microsoft MyPhone Beta Now Available For Windows Mobile 6+ Users
On a side note, don't get this mixed up with the HTC Magic which could be launching in the US as the MyPhone 3G. It shouldn't be all that confusing though, but I just thought I'd mention it.

Samsung i8910 HD Hits the UK, Thanks to Orange
This handset would definitely be at the top my list if it had a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. This handset, in my opinion, is in the running for one of the best full touchscreen phones of 2009. Put the Viewty Smart up there also.

Palm Pre Launching $549 Off-Contract, Costs $200 at Best Buy and Radio Shack
More pricing news. Best Buy and Radio Shack have confirmed that they will also sell the Palm Pre for $200 USD on a 2-year contract. The good thing here is that there will be no $100 mail-in rebate, so it looks like you might as well make your way over to Best Buy or Radio Shack to get your very own Pre. "A PR rep for the company [Best Buy] has confirmed that the Pre's $100 rebate, originally announced as a mail-in affair, will be instantly deducted at the register in Best Buy stores." Radio Shack has also confirmed this, so get your Pre's from these 2 places, if you want to save a little bit of money right now.

BlackBerry Curve 8900 Hitting AT&T This Friday For $200
AT&T will be launching the BlackBerry Curve 8900 this Friday, the 22nd of May. Unfortunately, the Curve 8900 will not have 3G, so that's a disappointment. The good thing is that it will be cheaper than the Bold, since it will be $199 USD on a 2-year contract when it launches. So, this Friday for $199, don't forget.

Netbooks Running Symbian OS Could Be On The Market Soon
According to Symbian Foundation's new leader, Tim Holbrow, we will see netbooks running the Symbian OS soon. He also went on to mention that they can already run on netbooks, and he also thinks that we will see them on the market.
This is very interesting, since Google seems to be doing the same thing with their Android OS. I just hope that every smartphone OS doesn't jump into the netbook market because it could make things a lot harder to pick and choose a netbook with so many different options. We'll see what happens in the future, Symbian OS vs Android?

Pentax K-7 DSLR Priced at $1,300
The K-7 also features HDR (High-Dynamic Range). "In the HDR mode, you take three photos at different exposure settings-optimized for the darkest, lightest and mid-range parts of the scene-and the camera combines the three images into a single photo that shows more detail in the light and dark parts."
Like I've mentioned before the Pentax K-7 records video in 720p HD format and also records audio using a built-in mic or "an external unit plugged into a jack."
For the prices on the different lenses check out the link below.
