We’re not particularly sure if Lego is actually getting a cut on these newfangled USB flash drives, but an Australian firm is offering up said storage options within Lego blocks nonetheless. The Zip Zip Memory Bricks will be available in black, white, red, blue, green, and yellow here shortly, and all house 1GB of storage and sport USB 2.0 connectivity. Additionally, a nifty lanyard allows you to attach your new 31- x 15- x 10-millimeter drive to your key ring, and while the A$59 ($48) pricetag may seem a tad high for just 1,024MB.

Not even a week after unveiling the HDMI-equipped m-Book PR200S and PR200X laptops, Mouse Computer is at it again with the budget LuvBook PL lineup. The low-end 500BH and 500S machines are throttled by a 1.46GHz Intel Celeron M 410 processor, but the 500XH and 500X step things up with a 1.66GHz Core 2 Duo T5500, up to 1GB of DDR2 RAM, 80GB of hard drive space, a dual-layer DVD burner, 15.4-inch WXGA glossy display, ATI’s Radeon Xpress 200M graphics set, and Windows Vista running the show. Moreover, you’ll find audio in / out, a trio of USB 2.0 ports, VGA output, Ethernet, and a Li-ion cell that purportedly lasts about 1.75-hours before calling it quits. All four models should be available in Japan real soon, and will run between Â¥79,800 ($656) and Â¥99,750 ($820) depending on configuration.

It’s not like the Bluetooth GPS receiver market really needed another combatant, but for those who prefer carrying as much as of their life as possible on a key ring, this one’s for you. Coming in at a minuscule 1.54- x 1.3- x 0.79-inches in size, this SiRF Star III-equipped device can connect simultaneously to up to 20 satellite channels, operate for ten hours on a single charge, sports a tracking sensitivity of 159 dBm, supports an external antenna, and purportedly plays nice with your BT-enabled device from up to ten meters away thanks to Bluetooth 2.0. Charging is handled by the included cigarette adapter or USB charger, and while we wouldn’t be keen on losing a $99.99 receiver right along with our keys, this should prove quite convenient if you’re the organized type.

Those looking to ditch their desktop without giving up a scrap of hard drive space now have another over-stuffed laptop to consider, with Targa introducing a newly upgraded version of its already high-end Raptor-60 laptop. Near the top of the laptop’s selling points is its three SATA hard drives, which can be configured in your choice of JBOD, or RAID 0, 1 or 5 configurations, giving you a total of 750GB of hard drive space. The laptop’s no slouch when it comes to the rest of its specs either, packing a 17-inch widescreen display, Intel’s 965 chipset, your choice of Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Extreme processors, up to 2GB of RAM, dual Nvidia GeForce Go 7950 graphics cards, and an optional Blu-ray drive, among other features. Of course, all that doesn’t exactly come cheap, with the various upgrades easily pushing the laptop towards the $5,000 mark, although you can cut that in half by opting for the lowest-end options across the board.

Raon didn’t exactly knock it out of the park with its first foray into the UMPC market — largely due to its curious decision that integrated WiFi and Bluetooth weren’t all that important — but it’s now having another go at it, introducing its new-and-improved Everun UMPC. From the looks of it, the company is certainly off to the right start, with the Everun packing both WiFi and Bluetooth 2.0 on the inside, along with integrated HSDPA or WiBro to round out your connectivity options. The device will also apparently come in a couple of different models, each boasting a 4.8-inch 800 x 480 touchscreen, a full QWERTY keypad, AMD LX900 or LX800 Geode processors, 30GB or 60GB hard drives (with a 6GB SSD drive an option on some models), and a promised 7 hours of battery life (or 11-12 hours with the optional expanded battery). Apparently, the device will also cost less than the company’s previous Vega UMPC (which was just over $1,000), although Raon isn’t specifying exactly how much less. We shouldn’t have to wait too long to find out though, as it’s reportedly set to be released in mid-July, though we’re guessing some importing will be in order for those of us in North America.

Nokia’s newest and oft rumored “Luna” is finally getting its turn in the spotlight and oh, how it shines. This Series 40 phone features quadband GSM / EDGE, a 2 megapixel camera, translucent smoked glass slider over the keypad, and Nokia’s first use of a micro-USB port. Of course, this isn’t just any Series 40 handset — okay, well maybe it is, unless it’s rolling with the 5th gen release — this is top of the line stuff where price is concerned and you will be paying $700 for the luxury of picking one up. The 8600 handset is crafted from stainless steel and glass — and that glass bit, plus the price, is just the ticket for lakes of giant crybaby tears if one of these guys ever hits the pavement. No word on carrier availability yet, but with release planned for sometime in Q2, we have plenty of time to fill in those blanks. Oh yeah, check out Engadget Mobile for a full gallery!

High-end audio manufacturer McIntosh Laboratory (they were around long before a couple kids named Steve started fooling around in their garage) is looking to take back some space on the audiophile shelf from all those wannabe-pro upstarts like the Slim Transporter with its new MS750 music server. The unit features a 750GB drive, CD burner, and a FLAC encoder that can be run in real time from the unit’s inputs, so purists can rip their precious vinyl at least without lossy encoding. In addition, the MS750 supports WMA, MP3, and AAC — perfect for those newly DRM-free “high-quality” iTunes Plus tracks. Music can be streamed to and from the rig via the built-in Ethernet and McIntosh’s Music Guide software, and the server can be network controlled or integrated into a home automation rig through the multiple RS-232 serial ports. All those connections don’t come cheap, though — McIntosh says the MS750 will set you back six large when it drops in June.
