We’ve already heard rumors of Hulu coming to the iPad and Xbox 360 , and rumors of a subscription service , and it looks like those might now all be coming together. According to Reuters , two sources and “another with knowledge of the matter” say that Hulu will be rolling out to “multiple devices” in the next month or two — only the iPad and Xbox 360 are mentioned by name — and that it will indeed be offering a subscription service. As we had heard, the subscription service would apparently only be for older episodes of TV shows and other content — you’d still be able to watch new episodes of shows for free — and it sounds like it will apply to Hulu as a whole, not just those aforementioned devices. Not many more details than that, unfortunately, but this does certainly seem to be taking on a feeling of inevitability.

Boost Mobile may like to get everyone’s attention for some device launches, but apparently they’re also perfectly complacent with slipping some onto their network under a hushed breath. The Motorola i296 has apparently been available for a couple of days now, and considering the specs and features, we can see why Boost wouldn’t necessarily go out of its way to announce its arrival. The i296 is a standard candy-bar styled phone

Before launching the Android-based Motorola i1 (on June 20), Boost Mobile has decided to offer its customers a more basic iDEN phone, namely the Motorola i296 . Built to US military-standard 810F requirements for dust, vibration and shock resistance, the Motorola i296 is presented as “the ideal phone for fun in the sun.” The candybar costs only $59.99, and, for that kind of money, it doesn’t look bad at all.

It was only just a few years ago that, with photos or video of a new, officially unannounced product hitting the Internet, the whole world seemed to go abuzz. Now though, it just feels like it’s second nature, and expected. Take for example the BlackBerry 9670 , the clamshell handset from Research In Motion that hasn’t been officially announced by any means, but that’s shown up so much on the Internet , it might as well be a fully released handset. The BlackBerry 9670 follows in the lineage of the BlackBerry Pearl Flip, as it’s designed like a flip-phone, but still packs in all the traditional BlackBerry features. You’ll find a full QWERTY keyboard, and a screen that’s just big enough to get the job done.

Way back in the fall of 2009 Sony introduced the PSP Go. Before releasing the system, they touted the all-digital system based on the appealing physical form, the removal of the slow & noisy UMD drive, the ease of using the PSN store, and the new PSP Mini games. With the rumored UMD-to-PSN trade-in system, the system looked appealing despite being much more expensive than the PSP-3000.
