Wal-Mart slashes iPhone 3GS price to $97
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Handhelds, Hot Deals,
So the iPhone 3G has been discontinued, and now Wal-Mart has gone and lowered the price of the iPhone 3GS down from $197 to $97—a full $100 drop. The change gives credence to the rumor that Apple will be dropping the price of the iPhone 3GS to $99 with two-year contract, and that the 3GS will take the place of the 3G as the entry-level iPhone device. As we stated previously, we thought it would behoove Apple to keep the 3G around as the free with contract phone, then use the 3GS as the $99 device, and finally use the iPhone Pro as the flagship model. We think that would be a good price structure to take on Android, but hey, we aren’t Apple—let’s see where this all ends up.
In the meantime though, as enticing as a $97 iPhone 3GS might sound, just wait to see what gets announced at the WWDC 2010 keynote first, m’kay?

Quote of the Day: Miley Cyrus Started Plaid
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors,
“We look into fashion designs very much in advance. We started the plaid shirts and the cheetah pants before people started seeing it [on runways]. When you first look at it as a designer, you think, ‘Okay, this is going to be a little crazy.’ But you don’t know what’s going to be in in a year like Max [Azria] does. Max looks at other designers, and you know it’s very advanced. He’s got the inside scoop.”

We knew that Walmart would be bringing the heat for Black Friday 2009, but we didn’t know they’d be going all-out with the Blu-ray goodness. Seriously, if you are looking for the most inexpensive Blu-ray player on Black Friday 2009, it looks like the Magnavox NB500 will be your best bet, because it’ll cost just $78 at Walmart. Oh, and if you need an HDTV to go with that deal, they’ve got you covered there as well. Check out the entire contents of the Walmart Black Friday 2009 sale after the break.

Miley Cyrus Brings ‘High Fashion’ to Middle America
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News, Sales, Girls,
In what can only turn out to be a coma-inducing interview in next month’s issue of Elle, Miley Cyrus talks about her “fashion line” for Wal-Mart:
“Oh my God, I’m so stoked! It’s a lot of peasanty, flowy tops, hippie and loose and sexy, like boho chill mixed with English-rocker-esque. Plaids, studs, rips, cool colors. The jeans are my favorite part of the entire line. Because, like, literally, this is going to good for, like, Middle America, and it will be great for kids that really want to be in fashion but they don’t have it available.”
After reading that remark, I greatly laud any journalist who has interviewed that girl. Kids who want to be in fashion but don’t have it available? It’s called thrift stores and the internet, Miley. But wait, there’s more!
“I would pay $500 for the jeans that we make for $20,” she said. “I’m really into high fashion.” I died a little inside when I read that. Christian Lacroix most likely put on his last couture show yesterday, and Miley Cyrus puts out a line for Wal-Mart and has the audacity to claim that she is really into high fashion. Will her egregious reign ever end?

Nintendo New Titles for Wii and DS/DSi
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, Nintendo, Nintendo DS, Portable/Mobile, Wii,
Nintendo has released this year’s game schedule for the Wii and DS/DSi. Titles include Punch-Out, Guitar Hero On Tour: Modern Hits, the Conduit, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. Check out the full list at the link. We think that this is a good time on their part as it seems that Wally World is already allowing pre-order for the DSi for $169.00, with no mention of any games, even though the mini-game system is compatible with many DS titles.

Some Digital Photo Frames Carry Viruses
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Cameras, Internet, Misc. Tech,
It turns out that digital photo frames are more susceptible than ever to viruses. If you bought or received a Mercury 1.5-inch keychain from Walmart or other retail stores, you could be at risk. Amazon emailed a warning to owners about Samsung’s SPF-85H 8-inch frame which was infected as well on its installation disc. Last year, the trojan Mocmex was found in some items from retailers like Best Buy, Costco and Target. If you are worried that you may have one, contact the store your frame came from or the manufacturer.

Bruce Springsteen Gearing Up for a Busy Winter
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Upcoming Releases, Rock,
Springsteen fans will be celebrating a belated Christmas in early 2009. In addition to a high-profile concert in February, the legendary musician will have two new albums in stores next month.
On January 13, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band will be offering up a Greatest Hits edition. The disc - which will be exclusively sold in Wal-Mart stores - will focus solely on songs Bruce recorded with the band. (You can see a track listing after the jump.) Two weeks later on January 27th, Working on a Dream will then make its debut. The album will consist of entirely new songs produced by four-time collaborator Brendan O’Brien.
Both releases will lead up to Springsteen’s primetime appearance during Super Bowl XLIII’s halftime show. The game will be held in Tampa, FL on Feb. 1.

Find the complete list via the link.
