It looks like some customers (as reported by Cheap Ass Gamer) have had luck in scoring Nintendo DS Lites a little early. The official release date is June 11, but some lucky people have been able to pick up units at Walmart and Target. No word on why these particular stores have offered them before the street date, but if you feel like testing your luck, you may want to head over to your local stores and check it out.

When you look at the appearance of the Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook Q2010, most people probably think it's a very attractive laptop. With its black lacquer finish over the magnesium case, 1GB RAM, WiFi, Bluetooth, HSDPA, and a weight of 2.5 lbs, you would think that it's quite capable as well. Until you take a look at the specs when it comes to battery life. The Q2010 has a battery life of 2 hours with its included battery (eight hours if you buy the larger battery which only adds on to that fantastic 2.5 lb weight). And how much do they want you to pay for the privilege of a laptop with two hour battery life? $5,000!
And they say Apple computers are overpriced.

This simple yet sexy phone is the newest release from Alcatel. The Alcatel One Touch E260 is a slider phone that has the most basic of features, but a rather stylish design. The phone does not have a camera or a music player, but it does offer up a decent color display (102x80 pixels) and has talk time of 600 minutes. Expect to see this phone later on this year.

You can get a number of your electronic devices customized by Colorware and the Macbook Pro is one of the latest. The result is pretty and it will cost you a pretty penny too. For the 15.4 inch Macbook Pro with 2.0 GHz, 512MB, 80GB hard drive, you will pay a total of $2,649.00 for the laptop along with the new color (the regular price of the MBP is $1999). $650 seems a little steep, but if you must be different, you have to pay extra. You also have the choice of sending in your Macbook Pro and having them customize it.
The color in the pic is Cotton Candy.

You would think that Japan would be getting the black Nintendo DS first, but it looks like Europe will have the honors come this June 23rd. Nintendo has announced that Europe will get a black DS Lite along with a Polar White unit this June. Other colors include a navy and a light blue (offered in Japan).

Earlier today, the Treo 700p was announced on Verizon's network and now we've learned that Verizon will be offering the Motorola Q for sale online on May 31. You can purchase the "world's slimmest smartphone" for $199 (that's after a $100 rebate). The Q is only .45 inches thin, has a full QWERTY keyboard, 1.3 megapixel camera, and will run on Verizon's high-speed wireless broadband network. It will run on the Windows Mobile 5.0 platform.
I would love to see what average consumers think of these once they're out in the wild. I need something with a full sized keyboard to replace my Treo 650.
