Oftentimes in this business, loyal customers simply get left in the dust when the latest and greatest hits the scene. Not so with Pogoplug, which just busted out an impossible-to-resist new offer concerning an impossible-to-resist new device. The simply titled Pogoplug Wireless Adapter is a USB dongle that plays nice with 802.11b/g/n networks, and for all intents and purposes, finally lets you place your Pogoplug somewhere other than next door to your router. Just plug this guy in, and your Pogoplug is instantly WiFi-enabled. The device is available for pre-order now at $29 (ships in “3 to 4 weeks”), but in a glaring act of awesomeness, the company’s handing ‘em out for free to existing Pogoplug owners. Details of the offer are parked in the source link, and if you’re looking to buy in for the first time, the Pogoplug unit itself has been reduced $30 to just $99. Try beating that with a stick… we dare you.

Back in February, Verizon Wireless made it quite clear what phones could be used with Skype Mobile, and the whole lot were smartphones. Sometime between then and now, however, it seems as if the carrier (or Skype… or both) has had a change of heart, as today a select few non-smartphones are showing up in its database as being compatible with Skype Mobile. Samsung’s $20-on-contract Reality, LG’s $80-on-contract Chocolate Touch and the enV Touch are all displayed as being in support of Skype Mobile, leading us to believe that an even larger stable of VZW handsets may soon hop onboard. Meanwhile, perfectly capable Android phones like the Nexus One can’t find a decent Skype client to save their life. For shame.

Update: Ah, ha! Now it’s official, with Skype confirming that Skype Mobile is now available on VZW multimedia phones on the BREW platform.

Sony knows that gamers take their gaming sessions seriously – after all, they have had their fair share of experience with feedback from PS3 owners. There is no quite better way to play First Person Shooters (FPS) games than using the traditional keyboard and mouse setup, but that is just the beginning. Advances in gaming audio technology has made listening to audio cues extremely important, as that would help you determine the location of your adversary before you fire off that money shot. Sony aims to make this a private affair with the DR-GA500 gaming headphones that boast 7.1-channel digital surround sound, accompanied by the DR-GA200 where both of them have 40mm drive units for premium gaming sound quality.

Both models will also be equipped with the unique ‘triple enfolding’ design for unrivalled comfort over long periods of wear. First off, the DR-GA500 will merge a Dolby Pro Logic IIx decoder with unique Sony Virtual Phones Technology (VPT) in order to create convincing 7.1-channel 3D surround effects – works great only if the game was programmed to support such a set up natively, otherwise something that is artificially cooked up won’t sound as good. The whole signal processing hardware is contained within a compact external unit, resulting in a soundscape rich in precision spatial detail that pinpoints everything from a stealthy footstep to the position of an exploding grenade.

Both the DR-GA500 and GA200 gaming headphones will also be able to keep strategy and online multiplayer gamers happy, especially where both genres require long stretches of gameplay. Thanks to 40mm drive units that deliver outstanding sound quality with resonant, living bass and crisp high frequencies, alongside the aforementioned ‘triple enfolding’ design, you can be sure that comfort is on the top of the list for either model. They will also enhance your gamer looks thanks to a striking and individualistic design. From October 15th onwards, both the DR-GA500 and DR-GA200 will be accompanied by a free copy of the keenly anticipated new Medal Of Honor single player game – now how about that for value?
