No Wii, DS price cut, says Nintendo April 25, 2008

Those of you without a Wii or DS, don’t expect a price cut on either any time soon. Nintendo, which doubled its operating profit this past fiscal year, says it has no plans to lower the price of either system any time soon. And why would they? If people keep buying them at the current price—the Wii is still hard to find—what sense does it make to lower the price? Unlike Sony, which had to lower the PS3’s price merely to prop up demand, Nintendo can just sit back and watch y’all snap up system after system.

iPhoneBuzz grabbed an exclusive look at the new wireless charging. The technology is still in its early stages and actually quite kludgy but to be able to drop my gadgets on my bedside table and have them charge overnight would be amazing.
Right now they have iPhone and iPod adapters and the final product will cost about $59 and the separate charging cases will cost about $10.
Skype releases voice client for a plethora of cellphones April 25, 2008

Running a Skype client on a cellphone isn’t really new, but this is the first time Skype has made it’s own client available for almost 50 different models, including many popular low-end and mid-market phones. The new client allows you to talk connect your cellphone to your Skype account. It uses cellphone minutes like usual, but adds all your Skype conacts and gives you a mobile presense.
The application is Java-based, so it’ll take a moment to load, and you won’t have access to many of your phone’s other features while you use it. Still, if you’re on plan with decent data but crappy minutes, this might be worth looking into.
