While YouTube mostly serves up pre-uploaded videos for on demand viewing, they’ve streamed a few live events in the past, and today they started making it a regular occurrence. If you head to YouTube’s new Live channel, you’ll see a list of upcoming events that you can watch live, and chat with other YouTube users watching with you. Right now, they’re rolling it out gradually, but quite a few popular channels are already streaming, like Hak5, Beyond The Trailer, and Geek Beat TV (pictured above). Head over to the Live channel to check out the upcoming events, and check out YouTube’s blog post for more info. More »

D-Link does the NAS dance with new ShareCenter DNS-320 and DNS-325 home servers
Many of us have a smartphone, set-top box, and a PC or two, and it’s always nice (and sometimes necessary) to have access to your data no matter which gadget you’ve got on hand. Enter D-Link’s newest ShareCenter NAS servers, the DNS-320 and DNS-325 to accomplish the task of digital distribution. Both pack dual SATA 3.5-inch drive bays for up to 4TB of total storage, a single USB 2.0 port, RAID support, integrated P2P, gigabit Ethernet, and a built in web file-server app (too bad they didn’t follow QNAP’s lead and give us a dedicated smartphone app as well). Available now, the $110 DNS-320’s got an 800MHz processor and 128MB of RAM, while those willing to pony up $200 for the DNS-325 get 1.2GHz silicon, 256MB of memory, photo gallery and audio streaming apps, plus the ability to host your blog directly from the device. If you want a 1TB drive pre-installed, prices jump to $200 for the DNS-320 and $280 for the DNS-325 when they drop next month. A small price to pay in preparation for World Backup Day, wouldn’t you say?Continue reading D-Link does the NAS dance with new ShareCenter DNS-320 and DNS-325 home servers

BlackBerry Torch 2 gets an early hands-on
We’d already heard that the BlackBerry Torch 2 would basically be a Torch with some significantly bumped specs, and that’s now been all but confirmed by BGR, which managed to spend a bit of time with the device itself. As you can see, it’s nearly identical to the original Torch in terms of appearance, but BGR says the device’s 1.2GHz processor could “light a fire” when paired with BlackBerry OS 6.1, and that its 640 x 480 display “looks absolutely great.” As with the Bold Touch it got its hands on yesterday, BGR says the Torch 2 will be making its official debut at BlackBerry World next month, with a launch on AT&T to follow in July. Hit up the source link below for a few more hands-on shots.Update: N4BB has just posted a full spec sheet, which reveals a codename “Jennings” while JerukNipis has some more, clearer shots of the slider — including a nice closeup of the textured battery cover.

Is Adobe Flash Delaying the BlackBerry Playbook?

Adobe Flash compatibility was among the top selling points for the Xoom when Mototola first showed off the device at this year's CES. After all, Apple's Steve Jobs has long held a firm, unwavering position that the software just doesn't work on mobile device–it's buggy, it crashes, it makes everything slower. And then, after all of that, the Xoom didn't even launch with the software.
There’s been a fair amount of speculation surrounding the delay of RIM’s own upcoming tablet, the BlackBerry PlayBook. Recent rumors chalk the slowed pace up to concerns with touchscreen suppliers. CNN, on the other hand, has a different theory: the delay is due, at least in part, to problems with Flash.First there's the aforementioned lack of the software in the Xoom launch. And then there's the bugginess. In fact, some early hands-ons with the PlayBook have confirmed those concerns. Flash on the PlayBook is choppy, just as Steve Jobs warned.At present, Samsung's Galaxy Tab is the only tablet offering the software. The PlayBook is now slotted to launch on the 19th, Flash or no. -
Acer’s Iconia Tab A500 soaks up the WiFi rays, hits shelves April 24th for $450
Ladies and gentlemen, the days of spending $600 for an Android Honeycomb tablet are nearly done — on April 24th, the Acer Iconia Tab A500 will wash that price away with waves of brushed aluminum. That’s when the WiFi-only version of Acer’s Android 3.0 tablet will hit Best Buy and online retail for $450 sans contract, but with the same basic raft of specs as the WiFi-only Motorola Xoom: a dual-core 1GHz Tegra 250 SOC, a 10.1-inch 1280 x 800 LCD screen, 1GB of RAM, a 5 megapixel camera around back and a 2 megapixel imager up front, HDMI-out, not to mention a pair of 3260mAh batteries that Acer claims are capable of eight full hours of life while playing HD video. Sure, it’s a wee bit thicker and heavier and only sports half the flash storage (16GB), too, but if you’re attracted to shiny things, look for our review in the coming weeks — or wait until this summer to get one with AT&T. PR after the break.
Update: As Acer mentioned in its press release, pre-orders for the device are beginning exclusively at Best Buy today, and you can now get your order in online.

3LiveShop woos you into phone contracts by touching your screen from the other side (video)
Feeling lonely? Got some Swedish kronor to burn? Now you can kill two birds with one stone thanks to Three’s Scandinavian arm. Hold up, we’re not talking about online dating here; but you could certainly start by buying a phone from 3LiveShop, which lets you interact virtually face to face with a human sales rep. Better yet, these folks are equipped with eccentric multitouch workstations (pictured after the break) to let them drag phones and spec sheets around your screen. We had a go on this service just now and apart from a couple of hiccups later on, our Hong Kong-to-Sweden call was surprisingly fluid and fun. Sadly, we didn’t get around to filming our intimate conversation with Adam here, but you can watch a promotion video by B-Reel — the folks behind the touchscreen’s Flash interface — after the break to see how it works.[Thanks, Johan]

BlackBerry Bold Touch prototype photographed, leaves a good impression
Are video tutorials and leaked presentations still not enough to convince you of the BlackBerry Bold Touch’s existence? Well, if not, you can thank BGR for getting its real live hands on an honest-to-goodness prototype, which it says looks even better than the renders. The site also reports that the touchscreen is plenty responsive, which could help induce users to move their thumbs from the optical trackpad for navigation. It also reiterates a BlackBerry World launch, so if things stay on track we’ll be getting our own hands on one in just about one month’s time — we know you can’t wait.

Gingerbread update for Samsung Galaxy S to start rolling out in mid-April
Official word from Samsung’s Finnish site informs us that local owners of its Galaxy S smartphone will be receiving their Gingerbread fix around the middle of this month. Less direct, but still pretty reliable, confirmation of this comes from UK carrier Three, who promises the same OS version will be arriving to its users of the handset “in a couple of weeks.” Considering an Android 2.3.2 build for the Galaxy S already leaked out way back in February, few should be surprised at the timing of this release, but prior experience still urges us to be wary when it comes to Samsung and its software update schedules.
[Thanks, Juho]
