Just in case you haven’t scooted on over to the HD side of things lately, we thought you should know that the $600 you’ve got stashed away for that forthcoming BD-P2400 Blu-ray player can now be used for something else. According to WesleyTech, the unit has been canned by Samsung, and if that wasn’t enough, those excited about the BD-UP5000 HD DVD / Blu-ray combo player will be forced to exude even more patience until the thing actually ships in December. Granted, Sammy may use the extra time to update the specs a bit, but we feel your pain, regardless.

Sony just went live with their latest eBook reader, the PRS-505. Of course, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen it but its always good to get an official release. Available “this month” for $300 in silver and dark blue, Sony’s 500-followup features a new electronic paper display that is more responsive with a better contrast than its predecessor while offering expansion for Memory Stick Duo or SD memory cards. A new USB Mass Storage mode allows for a lickity-quick transfer of files when connected to your PC. Isn’t it refreshing to see a late 90’s indie band coming out in support of Sony, eh Joey?
