The following post is mainly a rant.
Sony last Thursday announced that the PS3 has been delayed to March, 2007 for the PAL markets (mainly Europe and Australia) as they have shortages on the blue LED’s needed for the blue-ray drives.

Somehow, I think Sony stuffed up, and it’s not with the “blue LED shortage”.

Note that this post is posted after the Apple event post (at 11:34PM AEST). It has been moved to an earlier time to draw focus on the Apple event.

Myer recently have started stocking HANspree TV’s at their major downtown stores (Melbourne and Sydney for example).

HANspree TV’s are small LCD’s with a difference. HANspree have designed the TV’s to have various looks (eg. a Fire Engine).

Microsoft, in their Windows Live brand, has released a blog publishing program (in beta) called Windows Live Writer.

This program, just like Office 2007, has support for any blog software(not just Microsoft’s Windows Live Spaces (formally MSN Spaces)).

I might post a review later.

At work, we have started pre-orders for the Nintendo Wii (launch date is late 2006, why hasn’t Nintendo announced a release date?). The funny thing is that we have to “Verify with the customer if they want to pre-order a Wii”.

Wii of course is pronunced Wee. Basically, the pre-order slips have created another of the on-going puns for the Wii.
