TechCrunch blog post by Michael Arrington is generating a lot of discussion response from gadget lovers on the internet. The idea is…

The machine is as thin as possible, runs low end hardware and has a single button for powering it on and off, headphone jacks, a built in camera for video, low end speakers, and a microphone. It will have Wifi, maybe one USB port, a built in battery, half a Gigabyte of RAM, a 4-Gigabyte solid state hard drive. Data input is primarily through an iPhone-like touch screen keyboard. It runs on linux and Firefox. It would be great to have it be built entirely on open source hardware, but including Skype for VOIP and video calls may be a nice touch, too.

What do you think? Im thinking of Kindle right now.

The legendary classic rock group Journey (or some fans call them the J-Boys) announced that ZVUE will be selling an exclusive MP3 Player pre-loaded with all 22 tracks from the new Journey double-CD, “Revelation”.

The Journey-branded player will be available exclusively at Wal-Mart stores nationwide beginning July 22. The product retails for $39.88 and will be presented in gift-box packaging, designed to feature Journey with their new lead singer Arnel Pineda which they found on YouTube.

Each disc of the double-CD will feature 11 tracks; one will feature brand new material from the band while the other will feature re-recorded classic Journey hits.

And I think it’s not just me because people are lining up just to grab this gadget in time for holidays, maybe for their personal use or reselling it on Ebay. According to the company press release the ASUS Eee PC is America’s Most Wanted Christmas Gift.

In the two weeks since it’s launch in the US, the Eee PC has already sold ten thousand sets,” said Sunny Han, Director of ASUS Global Brand Center – confirming the Eee PC’s massive US sales figures. By the end of this year, the projected sales goal of 350 thousand will be met; and next year that figure is projected at 3 to 5 million.

So many gadgets with so many plugs, adapters and wires will soon be a mess when you’re in a hurry to recharge your out of juice gadget where everything seem like living wires and start hugging and twisting each other and turn into a spaghetti.. unlike the real spaghetti, these are wires you just can’t cut them like that and because you’re little bit frustrated you started to force pulling them out which make it worse.

Anyway, a new device called the Chargepod which has a 6-way charging plug that is able to connect to and charge many of your electronic gadgets at once without having multiple cords running from your power strip for each item. The Chargepod comes with interchangeable power adapters for different types (brands) of devices and also equip with a voltage regulator as safety to make sure that your gadget is getting the right power charge.

Look at the photo, isn’t that neat?
