MSI retools Wind Box DE200 and DC200, puts ‘em up for pre-order
Well, what do you know? Last we saw MSI’s Wind Box DE200, it was sittin’ pretty at a booth at CeBIT. Evidently it has seen quite the makeover since that debut, with the latest imagery showing it (alongside the DC200) with far edgier enclosures. We have to say we dig the new digs, but we’re most excited about the US pricing and pre-order pages. Both units are still (under)powered by a 1.6GHz Atom CPU, and predictably, both feature 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive and Windows XP Home running the show. No firm release date has been nailed down for the US market, but Amazon has ‘em both up for pre-order right now at $249.99 (DC200) / $299.99 (DE200).

Amazon Now Delivers Stuff the Same Day You Order It [Amazon]
Awesome: That’s my one-word reaction to Amazon’s new “local express” delivery option, which will get a Sqweel (or anything else) to your door the same day you order it.
You’ve gotta order between 10am and 1pm, and it’s not cheap: You’re talking like a $15 delivery fee, unless you’re an Amazon Prime member, and it’s only an extra $6. (Then again, if you’re stuck inside with swine flu, $15 is a pretty small price to pay to stay wrapped up in blankets in bed while somebody else fetches your shopping list.)
The new service is being tested in 7 cities: New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington, Baltimore, Las Vegas and Seattle are the first, with Indianapolis and Phoenix coming later. Everybody else, well obviously you don’t live anywhere cool enough to deserve it. [Bits]

Zoom’s high-fidelity Q3 pocket camcorder ships to America
Hailed as the first and only handheld video recorder to record HD audio, Zoom’s Q3 Handy Video recorder is definitely a unique offering amongst the legions of me-toos. After being announced in July and tickling our senses right around a month ago, the Q3 has finally begun to ship en masse to eager consumers. Just in case you’ve forgotten, this bugger records 24-bit/48 kHz audio via a pair of condenser microphones, gets powered by two AA cells and captures video at 640 x 480 (30fps). There’s also a 2.4-inch 320 x 240 LCD and an SDHC card slot, though you’ll have to shell out $249 in order to get this kind of technology into your own pocket. Order up, kids!

MSI’s 14-inch X-Slim X400 now shipping in the US of A
It’s a little tough to believe that it took MSI this many months to bring its X-Slim X400 from the trade show floor to the digital market place, but at long last, the outfit’s 14-inch slimster is finally on sale here in the States. For those badly in need of a refresher, $799.99 gets you a 1.3GHz SU2700 processor, 2GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive, WXGA panel, GMA 4500MHD GPU, WiFi, 4-cell battery, HDMI / VGA ports, a pair of USB sockets, a multicard reader, external DVD burner and a three-year warranty. As expected, Vista comes loaded on, though we suspect an upgrade voucher to Windows 7 will be bundled in for good measure.

Anxious Sprint users ordering HTC Hero now through telesales
Too impatient to wait for October 11th to arrive? Yeah, we feel you. If you’re up with killing a few minutes and dealing with what may end up being four or five CSRs, word on the street has it that the Android-powered Hero can be ordered this very moment via Sprint telesales. A number of members over at Sprint Users have had success in getting the phone headed their way, and one even mentioned that his SERO plan was set to remain firmly in place even with this new phone on the bill. Let us know if you stumble across similar luck in comments below, won’t you?
[Thanks, JayTV]
