Ben Heck updates the Xbox 360 laptop with the Xbox 360 Portable

Ben Heckendorn has done it again with another Xbox 360 Portable. Unlike his last Xbox 360 Laptop though, this isn’t just an upgraded Elite version.


Calling it the Xbox 360 Portable, Ben has nixed the keyboard, but has added the ability to swap hard drives, more accessible memory cards, better layout of ports and buttons and internal Wi-Fi.

Seriously, why isn't a company banging this guys door down.  Some of his portable ideas could make a mint for an enterprising company.  Maybe Alienware or a gaming PC type of company could produce some of these.  If Colorware can sell custom painting of a console and charge an arm and a leg, why can't a company make a line of these with this guy at the helm of design.

Canon Burns AVCHD To DVD: No Computer Needed

Cannon looks to cut out the middle man with their new Canon DW-100 DVD burner. This baby can take your high-def AVCHD video from your camcorder and transfer them to a DVD, no computer needed. It also can be used as a external DVD burner for your Mac or PC, which is a nice touch. No word on pricing as of yet, but the unit is due out in March 2008.

Not a bad option if you're in the market for an external DVD burner.
