We figured those dummies probably meant something good was about to happen, and sure enough, evidence is building that we’re just days away from an official Fuze release. Boy Genius Report has been ever so graciously provided with documentation suggesting that we’ll see HTC’s latest WinMo greatness on AT&T shelves come November 11 (just a day after the Quickfire) for $299.99 after contract and rebate discounts have been applied — or a solid $499.99 if you want to kick it commitment-free. That pricing is right in line with the Bold, making for an interesting, drama-rich showdown heading into the end of the year. Fight!

Remember that
CTL 2go netvertible we hepped you to in the heady, hazy days of mid-October? The folks over at
Laptop Magazine have taken a good look at a demo model (the color of “yellow-lime green hospital sheets,” apparently) and were cool enough to share their thoughts with us. The device gets kudos for its durability, with the spill-resistant keyboard, shock mounted hard drive and detachable handle earning some points, but the cramped keyboard was deemed less than praiseworthy. When functioning as a tablet, the accelerometer is said to be responsive, so reorienting the screen is a breeze — although the reviewer did choose to install a few freeware apps to compensate for the fact that Windows XP Home is less than tablet-friendly. If everything goes according to plan, the Linux version of the tablet should retail for $499, with a Windows XP Home version costing about fifty dollars more. Hit the read link for the full review and an exciting video of the appliance in action.

Like just about everyone else, we miss the Polaroid film format; maybe it’s just nostalgia, but we enjoyed having something we could hold on to (and shake) after taking a picture. Polaroids
may be dead, but the basic concept lives on — remember
Zink, that company whose technology prints digital photos on the spot without ink? It’s joined forces with toy-maker
Tomy to make the xiao TIP-521, a digital camera with a printer built in. The xiao has a modest five megapixel resolution, so we might wait and see how
Polaroid’s own Zink camera turns out, but in either case we’re stoked the tactile experience is back.

We’ve already seen a few laptop cases that are compliant with the
TSA’s new time and stress-saving rules but, if you still haven’t found one to your liking, you may want to consider Belkin’s new FlyThru case, which is now available to make your travels a tiny bit more bearable. As with other TSA-friendly bags, this one packs separate, easily-accessible compartments for your laptop and accessories, and it’ll accommodate laptops up to 15.4-inch in size. At just $60 it’s also a good deal cheaper than something like the
$220 Tom Bihn laptop bag or Skooba’s long-promised
Checkthrough bag which, coincidentally, is now finally shipping as well and will set you back $140.
