We’ve been hearing about the Xbox 360 price drop quite a bit lately, and now Circuit City is showing a price cut as well. What is different about their flyer is that it shows a price break on all three Xbox 360 models.

Boot up iTunes everybody, the Joz wasn’t kidding when he said the first iPhone update is nigh. Apple just pushed out iPhone update 1.0.1.

[Thanks, BGR]

Update: Ok, updating took about five or six minutes. Noticing anything specifically? Let us know in comments, we’ll list the fixes here (since Apple wasn’t courteous enough to tell us what, exactly, it repaired in the device).

Ah, Apple’s added the fix / changelog. Noice! Just looks like Safari-related security updates. That’s fine and good, now howsabout the constant, mind-popping crashing going on with that app?

Oh, and good news everybody! iFuntastic (v2) still functions with the 1.0.1 update! We tested it, and it worked beautifully.

I’m not really the paranoid type. I know that I’m not important enough for anyone to try and track me down. However, if you’re some sort of big-shot and have something to hide, you might like this next gadget that will keep you off of the radar.

Here’s a couple of crazy USB hub, because I’m sure you don’t have enough. These come to us from Brando, who is well known for making almost anything you can imagine that has a USB port.

SEOUL, Korea (AVING) — CharacterKorea(www.chako.co.kr) presented its Kambu character USB memory during Seoul Character Fair 2007.

Linux has always been pretty easy to get your hands on. You just pick out your favorite distro, download it and install. Piece of cake, right? Until recently, it has been much more difficult to get Linux preinstalled on a machine, unless it was a server. Dell has already begun offering systems that include Ubuntu rather than Windows, for a decent savings. It appears that Acer is now following in their footsteps.

While it doesn’t look like Acer has launched an entire line of Linux-based machines, however, there has been an advertisement in Singapore for an Acer Aspire 5710Z with Ubuntu preinstalled.

Do you smell bad? Be honest now, it’s ok if you absolutely reek, mostly because I’m nowhere near you. If you do have a bad smell, or more likely are in a place that smells bad, this little gizmo might be able to help you out.

The USB Fragrance Oil Drive is exactly what it sounds like. The red or green device looks about like a USB flash drive, and is roughly the same size as one. You just add a few drops of your favorite (if you have one) essential oil and it will supposedly make everything smell better.

Looking forward to getting a new iPod? If you don’t need something as large as the full-size iPod but still want some video playback, you might like the new iPod nano.

We’re not sure why Apple chooses to reveal such juicy tidbits to dry, uptight market analyst types before… oh, say us for example, but be that as it may, it seems Apple’s VP of iPod Product Marketing has spilled some tasty beans in a chat with RBC Capital Markets this week. RBC’s research note indicates that an “iPhone update patch is expected shortly,” while “management expressed excitement at plans to increase iPhone value over time via new software features.” We figure that doesn’t mean that this very first update will fulfill all of our wildest dreams for the iPhone’s true potential, but RBC is speculating that patches will eventually add MMS, Leopard-specific integration of some nature, location-based services, and — naturally — new widgets. We don’t suppose this first update could have something to do with a particular vulnerability, could it?

Although the SGH-F110 was initially believed to be a sure bet, things have since turned, as the German site Area Mobile has updated its article by removing the bulk of the text at Samsung‘s request. Nevertheless, this could also mean that Sammy just wants the thing kept under wraps a bit longer, so here’s what we know so far. The black slider will reportedly boast quad-band GSM and EDGE connectivity, Bluetooth 2.0, a two-megapixel camera, microSD expansion slot, two-inch LCD, and a host of exercise-centric features such as a pedometer, heart rate monitor, distance / calorie burning calculator, and possibly a “voice coach” to keep you going just one more lap. Unsurprisingly, there’s no details on price nor availability, and we’re still not sure if the pictured design will stick if this thing does emerge, but there’s no time like the summer to bust out a fitness phone, eh?
