The WSJ has just announced a pretty juicy rumour. Apparently, Samsung will be holding an event on September 16th in New York and that's where they'll be announcing which carriers will be getting the Android 2.2 based Galaxy Tab. The website states that three carriers will be getting it: Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint. The only one that should be a bit surprising is that the tablet will be hitting AT&T so it'll be a direct competitor to the already popular Apple iPad. Of course, none of this is confirmed right now so we'll just have to wait and see what happens on Thursday. The price is unknown but in Europe it's expensive so let's hope that it gets subsidized a whole lot.

Two MSI notebooks have just been introduced and the first one is the CR420. This is the lower end of the two since the other notebook is just a beast. Anyways, let's get back on track. The MSI CR420 was announced today and it features a 14-inch display, Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 CPU options, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, 250GB / 320GB / 500GB HDD options, a 1.3MP webcam, Bluetooth 2.1 support, integrated Intel HD graphics, HDMI / VGA outputs, WiFi b/g/n support, two USB 2.0 ports, an eSATA / USB port, a 6-cell battery, and a 4-in-1 card reader. Take a breather because it has another important feature: Intel's Wireless Display aka WiDi support. That's pretty awesome in itself, you'll be able to stream content wirelessly to your HDTV if you purchase an adapter box that connect via HDMI (it'll do all the work). As usual, the price and release date is still unknown.

The second notebook has been spotted in the wild (at a Nvidia event in London) and it's the GT663 which is of the gaming variety. This one features a larger 15.6-inch display (1,920 x 1,080 resolution), Intel Core i5 / i7 CPU options, Nvidia GeForce GT460M graphics, up to 12GB of DDR3 RAM, up to two 500GB HDDs, a possible Blu-ray drive, and Dynaudio audio support. This notebook will reportedly be announced on October 1st and will be available later on in October. The i5 model should start at £899 ($1,380 USD) while the i7 model will be around £1,699 ($2,608 USD) - they're definitely not for those on a budget.
