PlayStation Move Hits Best Buy Shelves Early

If you've been quivering in anticipation for the launch of Sony's PlayStation Move peripheral, get thee to your local Best Buy, for you might get lucky.
Engadget reports that a reader in Benton Harbor, Michigan, picked up Move at his local Best Buy branch yesterday afternoon. Officially set for launch next Sunday, it seems the Best Buy staff got their Sundays confused. It's not clear if this mistake is confined to just one store, or if other shops are also selling Move a full seven days before they're supposed to.

Amazon.com is still reporting a shipping date of September 17.

Toshiba Recalls 41,000 Laptops Over Overheating

Toshiba has recalled 41,000 laptops sold between August 2009 and August 2010 because the units in question represent a burn hazard to users.
Toshiba yesterday announced a voluntary product recall affecting just over 40,000 of its T-Series of Satellite laptops. The company says potentially faulty DC-In harnesses were used in the manufacture of certain Satellite T135, T135D and Satellite Pro T130 laptops. In some cases, the defective harness may overheat to the point of melting the computers base, near where the AC adapter plugs into the unit. Toshiba says there have been no reports of serious injury because of the defect but warns that the temperature is sufficient to pose a burn hazard to the user.

Party! Skype 5.0 for Windows Has 10-way Calling

Conferences and parties without having to ever leave the house.

You probably remember back in May when Skype announced that it would begin testing five-way video calling for Windows users. The feature was free back then, but Skype said it would start charging for it in a few months time. However, it seems that before it'll start charging, Skype is going to up the ante to 10-way video conferencing.

Windows Phone 7 is Finally Officially Finished

Finally!!

Windows Phone 7 is finished. It's officially done and we couldn't be more excited, because despite the fact that Microsoft is still perfectly on time with development of its brand new OS, we feel like we've been waiting forever.
Microsoft first announced Windows Phone 7 in March at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. At the time the company told us that we wouldn't be seeing any Windows Phone 7 smartphones in shops until at least the fall. Though we were promised the first round in time for the holiday season, Microsoft refused to be specific about dates and we've had to rely on rumors that say we'll see the first in September or October to get us through the long, hot summer.
