After some digging around in the recently posted user guides, some have turned up a possible rainbow of colors for the Centro. If you follow the guide and click on the AT&T branded white Centro, you will be given a page that shows (pictured above) the rainbow of Centro colors. We have seen the “AT&T only” model, the white with green keys that seems to either be loved or hated, but included in the picture is also the white with the grey keys that we have seen, and previously thought was going to AT&T. In addition there is also a red, black and dark blue model. We already know that we will see an ”obsidion black” Centro hitting AT&T within a month, but it seems like the other red, dark blue and white with grey could be additional unlocked GSM models.

A new online resource from Palm could prove to be helpful for some of the new Palm smartphone owners. With the recent popularity (and the low price) of the Centro we are now seeing a whole new group of smartphone users, some who may not be as technology friendly. These new Self-Paced Learning guides from Palm should offer them the needed help to use their smartphone like a pro. Palm has guides available for the Treo 500v, 680, 700w, 700wx, 700p, 750 and the Centro from both Sprint and AT&T. The guides offer up some tutorials on topics like getting to know your smartphone, setting up your smartphone, sending email, browsing the web, tips, tricks and a whole lot more.

I’ve been a Star Wars fan since I can remember. Granted, I wasn’t even born until a year after Return of the Jedi hit theaters, but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the films. This desk has to be one of the coolest custom desks I’ve ever seen, as it features Han Solo frozen in carbonite. The desk actually looks like it would be almost too tall to be used comfortably, but it would be seriously difficult to complain about a desk this cool. It looks about as authentic as you’re going to find, complete with the control panels situated at the front of the desk. This is unfortunately a one-of-a-kind piece that was designed specifically for someone. (Read the full post about ‘Han Solo preserved in a carbonite desk’…)

Up first is the €999 ($1,480) Satellite A300 — the apparent successor of the A200 — which features a 15.4-inch display, a refreshed design, Harman Kardon speakers, built-in fingerprint reader, 1.3-megapixel camera, integrated microphone, up to 2GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive and your choice of a Core 2 Duo T5500 (A300-124) or T8100 (A300-11I). As for the 17-inch P300 (seen after the jump), you can reportedly expect somewhat similar configurations, but sadly, we’ve no hard details on price or availability for it.

With the recent demise of hd dvd and all things that surround it, this news from Microsoft comes as no real surprise, they have officially discontinued the Xbox 360 HD DVD player. Current owners need not worry though, because although discontinued the support and warranty will remain in effect. Actually the only real surprise here is that it took Microsoft this long to make it official. A nice follow up would have been the announcement of a Blu-ray player add-on, but that still has not been mentioned. It would make sense though.

Posted Feb 24th 2008 8:57AM by Paul MillerFiled under: Digital Cameras, Transportation Ever on the lookout for the next step in up in Big Brother policy, there’s a new camera technology being developed in the UK at Loughborough University which can count car occupants by figuring out how much water and blood content there is inside the car. The obvious application is for trimming down those carpool lane offenders, trying to squeeze by the law with a dummy or a pet in the passenger seat. Look, privacy concerns aside, there’s just something awkward about traffic cams tracking quantities of blood and water inside of commuter cars. Do we really want to let the Machines have that kind of inside (literally) information o (Read the full post about ‘New camera tech can detect blood and water content in your car. Ew.’…)
