ATI will launch Radeon 3670 and 3450 on the January 23rd and again we are talking about healthy quantity.
Both cards are 55 nanometre, DirectX 10.1 capable and they are suppose to replace the 2600 and 2400 series that were selling quite well at least until 3850 was launched.
Both cards are DisplayPort and HDMI capable but this depends on the board design.

At the Consumer Electronics Show this week D-Link launched some great products ,some of which are ready to hit the stores.Among them was the D-Link's upcoming MediaLouge DPG-1200 device.
The DPG-1200's selling point is that it allows folks to display streaming Internet videos—be they from YouTube, Google Video, or other sites—on their TVs. One can network the DPG-1200 via either Wi-Fi (802.11g) or an Ethernet cable, and the device connects to TVs with either RCA or VGA inputs. Supported resolutions include 1280 x 720 for photos and 720 x 576 for video, and the DPG-1200 can behave as a mirror of the PC display or as an extension of it. As a consequence, the device can also display video content from DVDs and media files from any media player software.

The first time we heard about a product from Nvidia called G100 was almost a year ago. This should be one of the codenames for the next generation Nvidia card, but it might not be the only one.
D8E is Geforce 9800GX2, and that is already a done deal, but after that comes a new high-end card. We know that this product is expected in the middle of this year and that Nvidia is working on it. The new codename is GT200 and we know that Dan Vivoli likes GT stuff, so we wouldn't be surprised that he came up with the name.
We can also tell you that this is one big chip, but no real surprises there.

As we have been guessing that XBOX 360 would have inbuilt HD DVD capabilities but Microsoft did not unveil any such information at CES, and has no plans to do so in the future, according to an executive in Microsoft's entertainment business.
"Absolutely not," said Jeff Bell, corporate vice president of global marketing for interactive entertainment at Microsoft, when asked Monday if an HD DVD Xbox was in the works.
Microsoft has been pushing HD DVD over Blu-ray as the format for high-definition video, but HD DVD suffered a significant setback last week when Warner Bros. said it would drop support for the format in favor of Blu-ray.
Monday during an interview at CES in Las Vegas, Bell said Microsoft is taking a more agnostic view on how to serve up HD video. He said that it's up to consumers to make a choice between the two formats, not vendors.
"We'll let the market decide how they're most interested in consuming entertainment," he said.

The Zen Stone and Zen Stone Plus will now be equipped with built-in speakers -as announced by Creative at CES 2008.
The new models are priced relatively well, with the 2GB Zen Stone retailing for $49.99, and the Zen Stone Plus for $59.99. They'll sport new metallic colors in shades of Black, Pink, Blue, and Champagne. They will also come packaged with a silicone case with a clip. Battery life has also been doubled, from 10 hours (9.5 hours for Stone Plus) to 20 hours for both models. That's quite impressive for such a small player. The downside? It's size. The thickness of the Stone is increasing from 12.8mm's to a whopping 16mm!

Engadget spotted Nokia N95 at CES 2008 but what special about that.Its special because it's not in a regular dark color.They spotted a red N95 at the Nokia booth of Digital Experience at CES.It's not custom painted, it's not some sort of funky special edition -- it's real, it's coming, and more importantly, it's coming here. Word on the street we'll see it before the first quarter's out for $599, implying that there's a little price drop for N95s of all colors in the cards for the near future.
Engadget reports Jook may bring social networking to iPod.Right now,we don't have a whole bunch of info on Jook , and sure, the press photos claim that "actual products may differ from pictures," and yeah, the patents are pending. Still, it seems like the dock connector-attached unit will be bringing some Zune-style social networking features to your lonely, non-WiFi iPod. Of course, we all know how successful The Social has been in Microsoft's court -- but with the massive proliferation of iPods on the street, this might gain a little more ground. We do worry about the use of the term "music standard," the apparently-necessary headphones, and the fact that the company doesn't appear to have a website, but hey -- you never know.

Gizmodo published some pictures and specifications of the much hyped Motorola's new phones ,Z10 and Rokr E8.They are innovative but not so much to be considered breakthrough technologies.
ROKR E8
The rokr E8 is the next gen of Moto's music player phone line. It has a smooth surface, no visible keys. ModeShift / morphing turns the device from phone to music player to camera. They've built in haptic feedback for tactile response when keys are pressed, and a navigation wheel above the touch pad. They also threw in an FM radio, 2GB of internal memory, expandable via MicroSD. USB 2.0 for fast song transfer. It's a Quad Band GPRS/EDGE phone.
Moto Z10
This one is a kick slider multimedia phone, with built-in video editing tools. The 2.2-inch QVGA screen displays video at 30fps, and in 16 million colors. External storage for up to 32GB, when it becomes available. So 8GB for now. 3.2 megapixel camera, which launches in 1.5 seconds-they made a big deal of this although the iPhone doesn't seem to take any longer to get into camera mode. It's3.5G HSDPA, GSM/GPRS/EDGE, for all that wireless video you're going to be uploading.
