The Daily Slash: October 20th 2010

Welcome to one giant jungle cat of a Daily Slash, so wild and crazy I keep calling it the daily Slasher in my head. Two giant bits of news hit at once: the Back to the Mac event and the release of Windows Phone 7 handsets (hint: we've got three of em to look at!) Plus a whole torrent of other wonderful and fabulous bits of news that'd otherwise be big but was sort of CRUSHED by those two big guns. Shall we? Let's begin!R3 Media NetworkSlashPhone

First thing in the morning, we find out that KDDI has a 16 megapixel Cybershot, wowzers, that's giant. Next, woops, BlackBerry Storm 3 is spotted in Verizon's inventory system.

Good god that's a lot of stuff already. And we're only just started with the really good stuff! Before all the Mac goodness, there was a bit of badness: RIM CEO blasts Apple.

Get poisoned with Patriot Viper Xtreme RAM, get a bit'a fallout from Muschkin Radioactive RAM, open a Windows 7 tablet with Onkyo, get sharp with Razer Starcraft II gaming gear, and get a mic'd set of earphones from V-Moda. Epson ships nice white PowerLite 1700 projectors, Barnes & Noble announces launch of NOOKstudy, and the smallest video recorder in the world is just a tiny CamBall. There's a rugged phone in Asia that is Very kool, an app for iPad that allows you to Etch a Sketch, and tiny chassis for a Blu-ray/HDD DVR by Panasonic. For TVs and Phones Samsung plans on a single platform, there's LEDs everywhere including shower heads, and Sony has a remote control for kids. Shipping is November 10 for Boxee Box, Nokia C7 hides a chip, and the APP STORE IS DOWN?!

Back to the Mac event on SlashGear

Oh my goodness that must mean the Apple Back to the Mac event is about to start! Joy!

Windows Phone 7 Release on SlashGear

Then there's a slight slew of enjoyable bits about the Windows Phone 7 release! First there's a fat informational post about the future of Xbox live and how your games and characters will be popping up on your Windows 7 Phone and New Zealand is the place you'd have had to be if you wanted to attain the status of First Dude in the Entire World to Buy a Windows Phone 7 Handset. Then we've got three fantastical phone reviews including the HTC 7 Surround, the Samsung Focus, and the HTC 7 Mozart.
