The Dell Streak, with a release of “late July”, as according to the teaser page, is on that type of emailing list where you are informed of it coming out, then you’ll receive free 2nd business day shipping, along with with “an exclusive coupon code for a 99¢ Plantronics Bluetooth Headset.” Interestingly, the cool deal doesn’t sound bad, and the second Dell source link leads you to the new product page, full of awesome press photos and features on the Dell Streak.

Motorola DROID X Now On Pre-Order At BestBuy, For $200
The Motorola DROID X is no wimp, that’s for sure. A 1GHz Snapdragon, 4.3-inch WVGA multitouch screen (with multitouch keyboard), Android 2.1 with a pleasant version of MOTOBLUR, 8 megapixel camera for 720p shootin’, and finally Android 2.2 in the works.So it comes as no surprise that BestBuy has outed its usual “no mail-in rebate crap” deal with the DROID X. For $200 (with taxes and excuses like that) on a 2-year Verizon contract you can pre-order the big X now, without any of those pesky “mail-in rebates”. Pfft.

Microsoft Kinect Hits Microsoft’s Retail Store For A $149 Pre-Order
Want a Microsoft motion-sensing, video playing Natal? Yes? Well remember that it’s no longer called the Natal, but the Kinect. Starting at $149 for pre-order on Microsoft’s own Xbox store, don’t be surprised if there’s a price drop or anything else tasty as launch date nears. Also, if you have that old Xbox 360 Fat, you’ll need to plugin the AC adapter that comes with it. Have a new Xbox 360? Well gamer, just plug it straight it. What I’m saying is that it’ll be easier if you shed for a new Xbox. Yeah.

iPhone 4 Available For Pre-Order – But Just In Black
The iPhone 4, is available for pre-order on Apple’s online Store, for about $199.99 on a 2-year contract with AT&T. I’m told that the white iPhone 4, is obviously not on sale. That’s interesting, due to the fact that it’s been circling the rumor mill for quite a while now that Apple wouldn’t ship out the white iPhone as soon as we thought it would. Quoting the Apple Store, “White iPhone currently unavailable for pre-order or in-store pickup.” You can get it in black though, for $199 with a 16GB hard drive, or $299 for 32GB. Once you pre-order the phone, you can have it exactly June 24, or available for in-store pick-up.
Meanwhile, the iPhone 3GS is available for $99 (8 GB storage) — it too will be available on the 24th.

JooJoo Tablet Starts Production, Will Have a Web App Store
The other tablet from last week doesn’t seem to be putting a dent into Fusion Garage’s progress with the JooJoo (formerly the CrunchPad). Neither is the lawsuit against the JooJoo from TechCrunch. Not only did the JooJoo get increased pre-orers after the iPad announcement, but now they’re in full production. Fusion Garage has teamed up with OEM CSL Group in Malaysia to produce it; according to CEO Chandra Rathakrishna, the OEM will be charging no bill for manufactururing, and instead will take a “low single digit” of revenue. While I do believe that math is completely off, Chandra seems to be managing things well.
Even though we don’t know the full specs of the JooJoo besides the 12.1-inch capacitive display, Chandra did mention that the JooJoo will be support Flash at launch, and when Flash 10.1 is released, YouTube HD as well; though for current HD streaming, a browser plugin will take advantage of the GPU. CEO Chandra also boasts that “We have a bigger ‘app store’ than Apple because we have the full Internet,” and that nevertheless Fusion Garage plans to unveil a web store. As for the iPad, Chandra was blunt about it: “Imitation is the greatest form of flattery.” He says everything from the couch being on stage, to the $499 price point, and Jobs calling the iPad magical (which is what JooJoo means in African, magical) is a clear reference to the JooJoo. Nice one, Chandra. Trash talking aside, so far, the JooJoo looks like it has a pretty good arsenal right now (for example websites in their full form and Flash). PR after the break.
Sony VAIO E-Series: Full of Color. Literally.
If you need some cheering up (or if you want to go colorblind), then boy, has Sony got the remedy for you! The new Sony VAIO E-Series seem to be the perfect laptop that’s “fashionable” without breaking the bank. Starting at $800 you get an Intel Core i3 CPU, 4GB of RAM, 500GB hard drive, HDMI out, Bluetooth, 15.5-inch screen, and Windows 7.
This base model starts shipping in March, but future models will have the option for a Core i5 processor, Blu-Ray, and up to 8GB RAM. All models feature a “WEB” button which allows you to open a web browser without booting into Windows itself. As for the color options, you should be satisfied: “five translucent, high-gloss colors— Caribbean Green, Iridescent Blue, Coconut White, Hibiscus Pink and Lava Black— and three matte colors—Maple Brown, Silver White and Gunmetal. Subtle patterns can be found on the lids, of the glossy models, with the palm rest mirroring the color of the PC adding a splash of brightness to the unit.”
So yeah, you can even color the keyboard to your color fantasy liking. The Core i3 models are for pre-order now, and the Core i5 ones will be revealed on February 7th. Battery life should be under 3 hours and weight under six pounds. PR after the break. [Via Electronista]
B&N: Nook sold out for the holidays
Oh this is great for Barnes & Noble, and terrible for Nook fans. The Nook is so popular (even though no one has it yet) that it’s sold out for the holidays. To calm down the angry consumer who expected a Nook for Christmas, B&N is offering placeholder certificates to help with the tremendous loss. So now your Nook should start shipping on January 4th. Just. Great.
