Let’s admit it, there’s just too many iPad and iPhone docks out there that we might actually have some pain to choose among them all. How about looking over here which is yet another iPad dock? Xtreamer’s new iXtreamer system, which is an iPad dock that also doubles as a media streamer, and will dock your iPhones and iPods no problem. The dock itself is already very ‘feature-ful’, as it’ll accommodate a 3.5-inch hard drive and up to two USB hard drives, and it’ll support just about any audio or video content you can throw at it, including content stored on your computer or networked hard drive. Interestingly, Xtreamer also notes that it would like to let you use iOS apps on your TV as well, but it says that’s up to Apple to allow. Probably won’t happen. Grab it now if you want to show off during Christmas, as it’ll cost you ‘only’ €175, or roughly $235.

These days external storage also must come with some sort of fashion sense, like ‘collection designs from teenagers’ or some glossy surface that can also act as a mirror. QNAP’s latest NAS surely won’t let you down, as their TS-119P+ will look elegant on your desktop. It’s a single HDD bay NAS with iSCSI support, and it has 1.6GHz processor and 512MB of RAM. It pulls down just 12 watts of power while in operation, five while sleeping, and thanks to the bevy of software sharing apps that come along with the thing you can stream media files straight to your iPhone or Android device, even hosting your Windows AD to unify login accounts. The TS-119P+ Turbo NAS is already available in Europe for around €240, which converts to about $325.

BenQ has finally launched the XL2410T Nvidia 3D Vision in the Japanese market. The 23.6-inch (16:9 Aspect Ratio) LED-backlit LCD panel has a 1920 x 1080 resolution and a vertical refresh rate of 120Hz, which is great for high-speed video games.

Rumour has it that the much anticipated Nexus S will have a dual-core mobile processor. Perhaps you should believe what they say, because next year’s probably the year of dual-core smartphones. This year we see 1GHz mobile processor in nearly every single smartphone, so next year’s smartphone should be dual-core, according to Qualcomm at least. That’s because they’ve teased the upcoming Snapdragon processor, and its 28nm dual-core madness. Read more…

Google Docs have been rather cool since the day Google gave birth to it, but sadly it’s short of native mobile support. Finally Google gave the mobile platform some loves, and this will surely give Google Docs an edge over other rivals, or at least some decent fighting powers. Google has given the UI some thorough design, as the edits show up in near real-time across platforms. Tables embedded in documents can even be edited, though the tools are rather basic here.

Probably not a big news for those born after 90s, but I guess there’re some old folks who’d be happy to remember this special day, though overhyped by Apple’s marketing as usual. Finally, after a 7-years struggle, the Beatles arrived on iTunes. To pay respect, Apple’s given its entire front page over to a full-size shot of the boys, and as a bonus the “Live at the Washington Coliseum, 1964″ video will stream for free for the rest of the year.

The group’s 13 legendary remastered studio albums with iTunes LPs, the two-volume “Past Masters” compilation and the classic “Red” and “Blue” collections are available for purchase and download on iTunes worldwide as either albums or individual songs. Fans can also get a special digital “Beatles Box Set” featuring the “Live at the Washington Coliseum, 1964″ concert film, a worldwide iTunes exclusive which captures the Beatles’ very first US concert.

Well, this has to be taken with some serious amount of salts, because the seriousness of this statistic is strictly none. The folks at TUAW seemed to be NBTD, and had some cute ideas. Therefore they decided to do a little headcount of the sheer number of games Apple’s App Store has available for your two thumbs. The other side of the ring consists of numbers gathered from publicly available stats on how many games the last 25 years of consoles, which includes those that your huge Tee Vee can befriend with, and those that stays in your pockets. Of course, the caveats are plentiful, as there are a lot of duplicates and Lite versions floating about in the App Store (as well as multi-platform games among the consoles), but the general point that iOS has a lot of games on its books is made pretty clearly. Yes, the iOS has more games than your PSP or NDS, but it lacks the D-pads! So it’s a strict no-no.
