wireless-n-adapter-xbox-360-rm-engCostco has leaked that the new Wireless N network adapter for the XBOX. The question is what will be coming on that day besides it.

Microsoft has said that new apps for the Zune HD would be coming this month sometime, and the 10th is a Tuesday. The typical day for Microsoft to send out Zune Updates.

XBOX is also supposed to be getting an update sometime this month. So will we see the new stuff out this month on the 10th? Only time will tell.

The rumor mill is at it again, and they are saying Apple is releasing new stuff today. Redesigned plastic MacBooks, redesigned iMacs, updated Mac Minis (including one that’ll ship with Mac OS X Server), multi touch Magic Mouse, and a new multi-touch track pad gadget for desktop Macs are all on the list for what is supposedly coming out. To add to the fire Apple has taken down the Apple Store for “updating”.

Tegra Inside Next-gen Nintendo DS?

Posted on 19 October 2009 by Josh

ThumbL.aspxNintendo is rumored to be using Nvidia’s Tegra chipset in the next version of the DS. The next gen device is rumored to be coming in time for Holiday season 2010.

Looking at the Tegra chip and what it is capable of. We could actually see very high quality games on a portable device. Another interesting thing to note is that Tegra would allow them to continue with the backwards compatibility of the past Devices. This is because the current Models have ARM processors inside them, and so does Tegra.

Nintendo is not confirming or denying the rumor yet. I’ll keep you posted though…
