Samsung apparently isn't satisfied with just launching it's Galaxy Tab on the big four networks. The next stop on the Galaxy Tab launch train apparently is US Cellular. No word yet on what date or how much yet, but will most likely be in line with what the other carriers are offering.

Rumor: PlayStation Phone?

Engadget is reporting to have pictures of the often-rumored but not yet materialized PlayStation Phone. We've heard this many times before, but if it is true, Apple might have a serious contender for the smartphone gaming crown. Specs are rumored to be a 1GHz Qualcomm processor, Android 3.0, and a 3.7 to 4.1 inch touch screen. There's also a multitouch pad in the middle, along with the familiar PSP buttons. The device is supposed to have a special PlayStation marketplace for PSP games, which sounds awesome to us.

Engadget says this is just a prototype, so it doesn't look like we'll see this thing any time this year, but it sure gets us excited.

Sony kills the Cassette Walkman

It's truly a sad day today, as Sony has announced it has shipped it's last batch of cassette Walkmans in Japan, the last place they were still manufactured and sold. We're sure many of you remember your first Walkman, your first taste of portable audio listening pleasure. We know all technology eventually dies and is replaced by something newer and better, but that doesn't make the pain any better. So here's to you, Walkman, you had a good run.

Rumor: Hulu dropping price of Hulu Plus?

According to All Things Digital, Hulu is considering dropping the price of it's Hulu Plus service from $9.95 a month to $4.95. The move is supposedly being considered because of a low adoption rate of the service so far. $9.95 seems a little steep given the lack of content on Hulu Plus at the moment and considering Netflix isn't too much more to add a seemingly endless catalog of movies by DVD. We admit that $4.95 does make Hulu Plus much more attractive in our eyes, and it would no doubt spur more users to get on board.

Google TV getting shot-blocked by some TV studios

Reports are coming in that some television studios are blocking access to their free content on the web, stating that Google isn't doing enough to stop piracy. For it's part, Google can prioritize searches so that official content shows up quicker than pirated content, but some studios are still concerned. The reported TV studios include CBS, NBC, and ABC. Hulu has also blocked it's free site, but is allowing Hulu plus on Google TV. Sounds to us like the TV studios are still struggling with the idea of their content being available digitally and in a way that they don't control as much, similar to what music went through in the transition from physical media to digital. Will a good option for consuming video content digitally ever come? We'll see.

Apple intros new MacBook Air

Apple just laid down the gauntlet for the ultraportable notebook category with it's introduction of the new MacBook Air. There's now an 11.6 inch version to go along with the 13 inch model. The design is relatively the same, but it's even thinner than it's predecessor, and the edges are sharper. We definitely appreciate the new design. The price will start at $999 for the 11 incher with 64 GB of storage, and going up to $1,599 for the 13 inch with 256 GB. We can't wait to get our hands on these puppies.

HP outs Palm Pre 2

HP just made the Pre 2 official, and what they've shown us so far is right in line with earlier leaks. The Pre 2 will look pretty much exactly like the original Pre, although it may be a tad thinner. It will feature a 1GHz processor, 5MP camera with LED flash, still the same 3.1" touchscreen, and most importantly, webOS 2.0, which features Just Type (universal search), "True" multitasking, and Exhibition, which are apps specifically designed for when your phone's connected to a touchstone charger. We're definitely happy with the updated specs, but wouldn't have minded a design refresh as well.

The Pre 2 will be available in France first, with it coming to Verizon in the US soon.
