Daniel Millions asked: There’s no doubt that cellphone ringtones have become one of the latest crazes in the technology world. With practically every new cellphone that’s introduced having the ability to allow individuals to download pretty much any type of ringtone they want, what more could consumers want? On the other hand, there are plenty [...]

Few people were debating that the
$299 on contract price for Nokia's Atom-powered Booklet 3G was a bit steep, but now it has fallen
more in line with its
closest competition thanks to a price drop at Best Buy Mobile. From December 13th "through the holidays," the Windows 7-packin' machine (which we just
recently reviewed) will be available for $199.99 with a two-year AT&T Data Connect plan. Of course, there's a good chance you'll regret the decision to jump on this when the next-generation Atom hits at CES (which
is happening, right Intel?), but hey, Santa's got to do what Santa's got to do.
[Thanks, Hary]

DVI,
HDMI and
DisplayPort may be enjoying the spoils right now, but the
world's most popular port may just give 'em a run for their collective dollars by the end of next year.
DisplayLink, which enables monitors to receive signals via USB instead of through one of the more conventional cables, has been mildly successful with USB 2.0 at the helm, but a whole new world is about to open up with the introduction of
USB 3.0. As you've no doubt
seen by now, the third iteration offers up over ten times the bandwidth of v2.0, which would obviously allow for great resolution support when channeling video. In reality, USB 3.0 is the first USB protocol that could support a legitimate high-def video stream, and it's expected that a prototype device will be shown at CES next month transmitting content at up to 4.8 gigabits per second. In theory, at least, USB 3.0-enabled DisplayLink would allow vast 30-inch panels to be connected to netbooks via USB without having to rely on a sub-native resolution, but then again, said netbooks will probably need a GPU with a bit more oomph than the current Ion can provide. Not like that'll be
an issue for long,
though.

Every time trade shows such as
CES and
CEDIA open their doors, the collective masses are flooded with headphone after headphone, speaker after speaker. After awhile, one driver looks just as round as the next, and frankly, you start to take for granted what all goes into bringing the tunes we all dig to our ears, dens and underutilized kitchens. One of the mainstays in the audio industry opened their doors up to us this past weekend, and it didn't take much arm pulling to get us inside. We've generally found the design and sound qualities associated with
Klipsch gear to be top-shelf, and we've struggled in the past to find too many gripes with the headphones and
sound systems we've had the
opportunity to review. Needless to say, we were quite curious to hear about (and see) what all goes into imagining, designing, testing and qualifying the 'buds and speakers that we've enjoyed for so many years, and if you share that same level of curiosity, join us after the break for the full walkthrough (and a few heretofore unreleased secrets, to boot).

There ain't much to go on just yet, but one thing's for certain:
MSI will be unveiling a trio of new machines at CES in just a few weeks. Over on the
Wind Top side, it'll be introducing the all-new AP1920 all-in-one PC, which will measure in at 35mm thick and sport an 18.5-inch display, Atom D510 or D410 CPU and a power-sipping attitude. The nettop lovers will be thrilled to know that a new duo of mini PCs will also get unwrapped, as the
Wind Box DC500 and DE220 step in with Intel's newest
Pine Trail processors and a whole slew of companion components that we're still waiting to hear more on. Hey, we told you it was just a tease.
