Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 Cleared by FCC
The highly-anticipated Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 smartphone has been approved by the FCC and helpfully posted on their website so I can spend my Saturday mornings combing through confusingly bureaucratic PDF files looking for announcements like this. The specific model vetted by the fatcats in Washington probably isn't the one we'll be seeing here in North America: it's referred to as the X1i, which in Sony terms means Europe, and it's not yet equipped with 3G. Still, this is a good indication that we will be getting the X1 before 2009, though it'll still be after those shifty Europeans. [Crave]

PlayStation 3 DualShock 3 Gets US Date: April 15
April 15 won't just be tax day, it'll be the day you can pick up the DualShock 3 (rumbling PS3 controller) in the US. The controller's already been available in Japan for months now, which means that if you're really keen on getting vibration before your buddies, you could import it from Asia and hook it up now. If that's too much work, $54.99 will get you one in April. [Kotaku]

UPDATE: Regarding the lack of numbers in the press release, we've been told Sony BMG's "entire digital catalog" will be available later this month—still working on more details.

Dell Latitude XT Tablet PC Gets Official At Under 4 Pounds With Capacitive Touch
Dell's Latitude XT 12.1-inch convertible Tablet PC is finally official, and it's being paraded as the world's "only sub-four-pound 12.1-inch convertible tablet" with capacitive touch capability—meaning it'll sense your finger (sorry, only one) without any pressure at all. Also on the touchy-feely side, it's got palm rejection, a no-battery pen eraser and Dell says its response times smoke Lenovo's X61T. The 3.57-pounder is available next month starting at $2499 with Core 2 Solo or Duo options and the choice of a sweet 64GB SSD or 120GB HDD. And the whole presser and spec sheet:

Amazon Kindle Official Details: $399, "Whispernet" EV-DO, the "iPod of Reading"
There's a lot to digest in Newsweek's seven-page all-out feature. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos sums it up: "This isn't a device, it's a service." Kindle starts shipping tomorrow for $399 and is "a perpetually connected Internet device" running off of EV-DO—it calls the service "Whispernet." It's totally computer independent: You browse for books (88,000 at launch) and buy them in a "one-touch process," it comes with a personal Kindle email address and it can browse the regular internet—keyboard sounds useful now, doesn't it?

Zune 2 and Flash Zune Official
The next-generation Zune has just been announced, coming at you with a price tag (which we already saw) of $249 for the 80GB hard drive model and $149/$199 for the 4GB and 8GB flash-based models respectively. The new features in all models, which were leaked early, are wireless syncing with your computer automatically when you're in Wi-Fi range—something users have been clamoring for since even before the first Zune—as well as videos in the Zune Marketplace and new music, some of which are DRM-free. The Zune Pad is actually touch sensitive, much like the iPod's Click Wheel.

T-Mobile's Wi-Fi BlackBerry Curve Is Fo' Real and Quite Tasty
In the hot summer months, rumor was that the critically acclaimed BlackBerry Curve was coming to T-Mobile—and unlike the AT&T "exclusive" edition, the T-Mo one would have Wi-Fi. Last week, Jason Chen reported that the Curve would be equipped with T-Mobile's Hotspot @Home for unlimited Wi-Fi calling at home or in Starbucks. Chen also posted that the 8320 Curve would cost $249 with a 2-year contract. You got the news. All that remains is to tell you that it's living up to its promise so far. (Final press release after the jump.) More » -

Palm to Release "New Category of Mobile Devices"
Ah, Palm's rumored groundbreaking gadget, dubbed by fanboys as "Hawk", after Palm-founder Jeff Hawkins. We knew the time, and the place, and maybe even had a hint at the device being a UMPC-ish thing. But had no proof. Until this little press release hit the wires.
