Dell Inspiron 13 Marketed to Thrifty College Students
Although the Dell Inspiron 13 may be lacking in bells and whistles, it’s a perfect work laptop for those on a limited budget. While the base model boasts a 13″ screen, 8-in-1 media card reader, and a slot loading DVD player, you’ll have to cough up some more dough to get Wi-Fi, a webcam, and/or Bluetooth. A $699 version of Dell’s Inspiron 13 will retail at Walmart on August 3rd; later in August, you’ll be able to configure the Inspiron 13 for yourself at dell.com. Read more here!

“I am Thunder, Hear Me Roar,” Says BlackBerry
The BGR has the latest on the BlackBerry Thunder, or the BlackBerry 9500. The BlackBerry Thunder (incorrectly called the BlackBerry Storm for some time) will launch in Q3 of 2008. It is a touchscreen phone with a mere four physical keys. The BlackBerry Storm will allegedly launch as a 3G device, being a hybrid with CDMA EV-DO Rev. C, GSM, and HSPA. Some rumours say that the Storm will also sport LTE, making it a 4G device. The Blackberry Thunder will launch as a Verizon/Vodafone exclusive later this year.
Eneloop Kairo Rechargable Hand Warmer
Sanyo’s Eneloop Kairo is a rechargable battery-powered hand warmer that keeps you nice and warm on a cold, chilly, winter’s night (or, if you’re like me, on a slightly chill spring night). With two preset temperatures (39 and 43 degrees Celsius), the Kario can adapt to different environments. Additionally, weighing at 80 grams, the Kario is extremely portable! Plus, the battery life is estimated to last for 5 hours. Available in black, pink, or white, the Kairo retails for about 4,000 yen (40 USD). To read more, click here!
Pansonic’s Godlike 150″ TV
There’s not much I wouldn’t do to get my hands on Panasonic’s behemoth advanced high definition tv. At 150″ diagonally (or 12.5 feet!), Panasonic’s definition is 2160 x 4096 (4x normal high definition). It sucks in 220 volts (twice what average household sockets provide), costs $115,000, and requires a viewing distance of at least ten meters. So, while extremely impractical, Panasonic’s newest TV is sure to be a crowd pleaser.
