Nintendo rather quietly announced earlier that as of July 11th, it will see the DSi XL in Midnight Blue. The new color model will cost $189.99 — just like every other DSi XL — and will also come with all the same installed software and apps. Yes, other than the color (we’ll give them this, it’s a pretty sweet shade of blue) this one’s identical to every other DSi XL

Look, we don’t like having to constantly be skeptics who don’t believe in anything unless there’s absolute proof of its existence… oh, wait: yes we do. Especially in scenarios like this, where sources are unclear, a bit vague, and poorly translated.

Remember the Land Warrior program, which only took 15 years and half a billion dollars outfit our troops with high-tech battlefield uniforms? With DisOPS (”distributed operations”) Lockheed Martin is taking a different tack. Deployed to Special Forces in Afghanistan, the system is comprised of the Connect software which runs on ruggedized laptop computers, allowing squad leaders to plan missions on a map, and View PDAs that receive info over tactical radio, cellphone, or even WiFi networks

Qualcomm’s Mirasol displays have already found their way into quite a few products, but the company looks to really be branching out into some new territory with its latest prototype: an e-book reader with a full-color, 5.7-inch display. Of course, Qualcomm isn’t planning to sell this one itself, and it isn’t revealing any OEM partners just yet, but it has set the somewhat ambitious target of getting it on the market in the “latter part of 2010.” From the looks of it, however, it doesn’t seem like it’ll have too much trouble attracting interest, considering that the XGA (220ppi) Mirasol display is not only full-color, but allows for video playback, is supposedly readable in direct sunlight, and reportedly has a “minimal impact” on battery life

Good news for our Canadian brethren! While the realization that you’d been excluded from the International Kindle may have angered you, or frightened you, or engendered feelings of shame or lust, all hope is not lost! We have just got word that Amazon has added your fine nation to the list of countries it will now ship the beloved e-reader to. And if that ain’t enough, a smattering of your native content is being offered, included a couple of publications that sound exotic and fanciful to American ears: The Globe and Mail and The National Post . Sound like something you’d like to get into?
