We figure this website wasn’t intended for public consumption — either that, or we’re all invited to the “2007 National Launch Tour” for the imminently available AT&T Tilt, and we should be speaking to our regional sales managers immediately to confirm our eligibility. The picture here looks pretty much like what we’d seen of the HTC Kaiser variant in the wild, confirming that the front cam is gone (no surprise), though it’s a little chubbier looking than we thought, yeah? Or is it just us? Anyway, the site gives nary a clue about when we might actually be able to get a Tilt in our hands simply by walking into a store, but happily, everything we’ve heard still points to an October launch. Now if you’ll excuse us, we’re going to go track down our regional sales manager.

Office Depot Featured Gadget: Xbox 360 Platinum System Packs the power to bring games to life!

Filed under: Portable Audio, Portable Video

Don’t go betting the farm or anything, but “according to sources close to the situation,” Microsoft will be unveiling the second-generation of Zune players come Tuesday. Apparently, Mr. Gates and J Allard will be attending the shindig, and it sounds like both the “thinner” HDD-based Zune and the flash-based Zune will indeed be launched. The overall design of the HDD Zune isn’t set to change all that much, but the 3- x 1.25-inch flash Zunes “are said to look much like the iPod nano,” and they should include video playback capabilities and larger storage capacities than “competing products.” As expected, Redmond wouldn’t respond to the hunches, but if these rumors prove true, we could see the new flock of Zunes hit shelves “this November.”

While it hardly comes as much of a surprise after leaks from both Sprint and Verizon, RIM has finally made its long-awaited CDMA-enabled Pearl 8130 (a.k.a. “Pearl 2“) official, with it likely headed to the aforementioned carries sometime between now and Thanksgiving. As we had heard before, this one comes with built-in GPS (which Boy Genius speculates will be disabled on Verizon’s offering), along with A2DP/AVRCP Bluetooth, a 2 megapixel camera (with video recording capability), and a standard 3.5mm audio jack. According to RIM, you can also expect an overhauled interface, complete with an updated browser and some improved multimedia features, including the ability to create and edit playlists. Still no word on a price, but we’d expect Sprint and Verizon to be doling out that info before too long.

If all those pics and details of Sony’s svelte new SonyDrive XEL-1 OLED TV we brought you earlier today weren’t enough to whet your appetite, then perhaps NHK’s video of the display will be more to your liking. While it offers little new information, it does show the display nearly performing a disappearing act as it makes its turn for the camera, thanks to its double-take-inducing 3 mm thinness. Impressive to be sure, although likely not quite impressive enough to make you forget about its $1,700+ price tag. Click on the image above or the read link below to check out the complete video
