Remember the leaked promo material for the $499.99 WiFi-only Samsung Galaxy Tab headed to Best Buy? Well, SKU 1409447 of the 7-inch Android tablet is being promoted right now in the weekly ads on Best Buy’s very own mobile site. Unfortunately, our urge to celebrate is tempered by a sneaky pic of a Best Buy “pullback” (found after the break) noting that the WiFi-only Galaxy Tab is not in fact available due to manufacturer delay. The whole Best Buy listing turns out to be an unhappy comedy of errors showing a non-existent “silver” 3G model on Sprint and wishful “Super AMOLED” display. Ugh.

enlarge Credit: www.fox.co.uk I know there are many more pressing issues facing the country, but as you know I’m a fan of BTVS so I’m happy to see that a new Buffy movie is in the works. Too bad Wheedon, Noxon or Espenson aren’t involved as writers. The casting will be interesting, though. Any thoughts?

Here at the Engadget HQ we’re very serious about articulating the noise and action of a bow when it comes to our synthesized string instruments , and the O-Bow looks like it could be the low cost solution we were dreaming of. (No, Smule Magic Fiddle doesn’t count, it’s a devil “instrument” and it lies). Hacker / musician Dylan Menzies has devised a method using the optical sensor from a mouse for tracking anything with a grained surface, like a wooden stick, and using it to make a single sample synthesizer “sing” like a real bowed instrument. Unfortunately, that single sample sounds pretty terrible right now, but Dylan is working on a more sophisticated method of modeling the instrument. Until then, we’ll just have to resort to giving Smule dirty looks and messing around with our Korg joystick. There’s a video after the break, but don’t say we didn’t warn you about that sample.

Is the future of photography painted in Kubrick white? It is if you believe Nikon and Canon. We’ve seen the latter’s concept in much more detail , and now a handful of pics from the Nikon Sapporo Showroom have surfaced, showcasing at least one similarly unpigmented design. The other two models, snapped and found via burner-images , look like more run-of-the-mill DSLRs, but the one that’s causing a stir online is the all-white model that original from DCHome forums. The original poster chimes in to say it might be the EVIL camera , but we’re not exactly convinced. For starters, the body doesn’t look much smaller or different than the rest of its lineup — not exactly what we’d expect for a “new market” product, as the company reportedly wants its mirrorless shooter to be. Additionally, as noted by a number of Nikon Rumors commenters, that apparently 18-55mm lens implies it’s rocking an APS-C sensor. Of course, if we saw the other side, we could see whether or not it had a viewfinder, which does narrow down the possibilities. So in conclusion, we still don’t know what it is, or if we ever will with any certainty, but we’re making an educated guess as to what it isn’t . Got that? Good.

Israel’s parliament, backed by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, has approved a law that requires a two-thirds Knesset majority or a referendum on any potential land-for-peace deal concluded with Arab neighbours. The law, which was passed by a vote of 65 to 33 on Monday, calls for putting any treaty involving a withdrawal from Israeli-annexed land to a public vote, in the event that Israel’s parliament has not approved the deal in question by a two-thirds majority. It would cover any agreements involving a pullback from occupied land Israel has already annexed — East Jerusalem, or the Golan Heights captured from Syria. Netanyahu, who is currently engaged in efforts to revive stalled peace…
