Can’t wait for tomorrow when rumors of an expected Xbox 360 price drop are supposed to come true? Head on over to your local Target store tonight – most of them are open until 10:00, if you’re interested. You might just find the Xbox 360 Pro for $299 already. Target’s website says the consoles are available for $299 (“stores only”) and I’d guess we’d see something in the Sunday circulars tomorrow.

If you do happen to swing by a Target store tonight, would you be so kind as to leave a comment confirming or denying the price drop?

2007 was the year of speculation of a Google Phone, or Gphone. Handset manufacturer HTC was the center of attention around most of the rumors. But Google eventually squashed those rumors by announcing the Open Handset Alliance and Android. Instead of building an iPhone like device and service combined, they’d be backing an open source mobile operating system that could finally break the carriers’ stranglehold on the mobile market.

Android doesn’t preclude Google from creating their own mobile device as well though, that’ll work as a best of breed device. Google has never said they wouldn’t build their own phone exactly, but when they wrote last November that they weren’t announcing a Gphone at that time, most of the speculation died down.

But today Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergei Brin and CEO Eric Schmidt made nebulous statements that are leaving us wondering if Google is now thinking of building that gPhone: “The trio of Google execs also used the opportunity to talk about the inroads the company is making with its own branded mobile phone as a replacement for the iPhone.”

As Om Malik notes, this isn’t a direct quote but rather a summary of what was said by Hollywood Reporter writer Dan Cox. But a “branded mobile phone” is very different than Google’s Android project. Unless Cox got the summary wrong, the statements were significant.

For all the potshots we (I) occasionally take at Microsoft, I’ll admit that I think the company makes pretty decent mice and keyboards. The upcoming bending and folding “Arc” mouse, for instance, looks pretty intriguing as it just may be able to straddle the thin line between portability and not-too-small-that-I-get-clawhand-from-using-it. It’s wireless, which […]

For all the potshots we (I) occasionally take at Microsoft, I will admit that I think the company makes pretty decent mice and keyboards. The upcoming bending and folding “Arc” mouse, for instance, looks pretty intriguing as it just might be able to straddle the thin line between portability and not-too-small-that-I-get-clawhand-from-using-it.

It’s wireless, which better mean Bluetooth (not some stupid USB connector) and will be available near the end of the year for $59.99.
