T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro2

The T-Mobile Touch Pro2 is on track for its August 12th release, as confirmed by a press release. The HTC-manufactured smartphone was originally set to drop last July 22nd but was delayed to make way for T-Mobile’s myTouch 3G Android handset.

No details on pricing as of yet. The image above is what the T-Mobile-branded Touch Pro2 will look like, which is slightly aesthetically different than the unbranded black/silver version.

Pioneer DVR-XD09: the jewel CD case-sized, portable DVD/CD writer

Posted: 29 Jul 2009 01:00 PM PDT

The vast majority of netbooks go through daily life without the services of an optical drive. This is because the netbook manufacturers simply cannot integrate one because of space constraints.

Hence, Pioneer has come up with a portable DVD/CD writer that has a very small footprint. It’s just a tad larger than your normal audio CD jewel case. The Pioneer DVR-XD09 Slim Portable DVD/CD Writer measures just 5.24″ x 5.24″ x 0.58″ (or 133 mm x 133 mm x 14.8 mm) and weighs only 8 ounces!

Looking at the product overview at Pioneer’s site, it would be safe to assume that this drive doesn’t come with a small brick-like power adapter. The device will totally rely on USB 2.0 ports for juice.

The Pioneer DVR-XD09 is priced at $79.99 and will start appearing August 2009.
