Remember just a while back when we told you that you could pre-order the ASUS UL30Vt over at Amazon if you so wished? Well, it's actually, really available and shipping now. The Windows 7 Home Premium-boasting 13-incher is part of ASUS's thin and light line -- with looks we're quite fond of. It's also packing switchable graphics, DDR3 memory, and a 1.3GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 CPU which can be overclocked. This baby is selling for $799 and it's in stock now, so if you want one -- well, you know where to find it.

[Thanks, Leonel]

Apple’s Black Friday deals hit Australia site, same as it ever was (update: US and UK too)

Ross Miller — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 20:06:00 +0000

Apple Down Under[TM] has revealed its today-only holiday gift specials, and with most deals hovering between 5 and 10 percent off, it's nothing out of the ordinary for Cupertino's wares. Still, if you're shopping for a new iMac this season, seems like the perfect opportunity to fill up your virtual shopping cart. If history tells us anything, look for these deals to hit Apple's US syndicate sometime around tomorrow.

Update: It's after midnight in the UK, and as logic dictates, the one-day sale is now in effect there, too.

Update 2: And it's Stateside: same percentage discounts, different currency.

Pomera DM20 Digital Memo puts your old Brother to shame

Joseph L. Flatley — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 18:39:00 +0000

If the Pomera Digital Memo DM10 appeals to anyone (and we figure it must appeal to someone), you can chalk it up to the device's narrow scope: it's for writin' with, and for folding up and puttin' in your pocket -- and that's it. The DM20, our friends at Engadget Japan tell us, expands the brief ever-so-slightly, bumping up storage to 89MB, upping the display to 5-inches, and adding USB cell phone tethering (for emailing documents). Seriously, though, in the end it's really just a word processor. Is that how you want to take notes? We didn't think so. Expect to see it hit the shelves in Japan on December 11 for ¥34,650 (just shy of $400).

Darren Murph — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 14:14:00 +0000

US Air Force orders up 2,200 more PS3s — for thinking, not gaming

Vladislav Savov — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 10:39:00 +0000

We were as surprised as anyone when the USAF threw down the cash for 300-odd PlayStation 3s back in March of last year, but what's more shocking is that it's now back for more -- seven times more, in fact. Already employing its PS3 cluster for research into high-def video processing, the Air Force Research Lab wants to expand its capabilities significantly and it seems that Sony's Cell processor is still its weapon of choice. We would use this opportunity to make a few jibes about lazy engineers upgrading their setups in time for Modern Warfare 2, but we're better than that. We'll also totally avoid noting that the US government's skimping on costs now is leading it to commit to an instruction set tailored specifically to the Cell processor, which contrary to the latest Xeons -- pricier though they may be -- is not guaranteed to keep updating in pace with the USAF's needs. Those are things we'll leave for someone who isn't afraid of death lasers and autonomous attack drones to say.

Razer Imperator gaming mouse ships with adjustable side buttons, disdain for southpaws

Darren Murph — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 07:58:00 +0000

Tired of getting shafted, lefties? Never gets old, does it? At any rate, Razer is momentarily stepping away from its ambidextrous ways in order to craft a mouse that fits especially well in the hands of righties. The new Imperator gaming mouse houses the same 3.5G laser sensor that has become common on the outfit's critters of late, but this one includes a smattering of "adjustable side buttons" that can actually slide and lock into place wherever you find them most comfortable. It's up for order now for $79.99 (or €69.99 for those across the pond), and if the gallery below doesn't get you close enough, a demonstration vid is just past the break.
