If USB 2.0 is still a big part of your present day, start thinking about the future because USB 3.0 will become universal in a matter of… year or two. In case you don’t know, with USB 3.0 technology in a flash drive the speeds are much faster and you can transfer files up to 200MB per second, or even better if you optimize the system with a special USB Attached SCSI driver.

As you can imagine, all the portable drives can still work in USB 2.0 ports which work at 60MB per second. For now there is no information about the prices of the new Super Talent USB 3.0 flash drives, but the capacities include 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB, with a release date set for December 2009.

Panasonic has presented two new 1Seg Portable TVs for the Japanese market, they are codenamed SV-MC75 and SV-ME750.

Thankfully, both devices are waterproof and splashproof and the high-end model, the SV-MC75, has 8GB on the internal memory and supports SDHC memory cards of 32GB. As for the display screen, it measures 4,3-inches. On the other hand, the SV-ME750 has a 5-inch screen with a resolution of 480×272 pixels.

Unfortunately I think these Portable TVs from Samsung will never get inside the US market…

Philips had an interesting device that they were working on called the Tapster. The Tapster planned to use Bluetooth, and featured light tapping for volume and other controls.

Sadly, Philips was never able to get the device to work. This means that you won’t be seeing it hit the shelves, and never will. It’s a shame, really, it looks like an interesting device.

Yes, T-Mobile was down for a little while this morning, but not to fear, for their “rapid response teams have been mobilized to restore service as quickly as possible”.

This was a statement made several hours ago, and it would appear that everything has been restored. According to the company, only 5 percent of users were affected by this outage. However, New York was quite heavily affected, which makes the percentile seem a little small.

Everyone have their Sidekick data back? I’m kidding, seriously.

AT&T has just announced their intentions to launch a whole slew of new features on November 8th. The first is an all new voicemail-to-text service which will, of course, change your voicemails into text messages making it easier for you to catch that number or name.

Second of all AT&T is planning to launch their Nation with Canada plans which will allow you customers to make calls between Canada and the US with no long distance charges.

And last but not least they will be launching 3 new channels for their Mobile TV service which we have little to no details about. Luckily, they will be dropping the base cost of the service from $15 to $9.99 and the unlimited service from $30 to $24.99.
