Oh boy — here we go. HP has just issued an invitation to the press for a webOS event in San Francisco on February 9th. The minimal email asks attendees to ‘Think Big. Think Small. Think Beyond.’ — and that definitely sounds like a multi-product launch to us. If we were betting types, we’d put money on a phone (perhaps rumors we’ve been hearing about the ‘world’s smallest’ smartphone will turn out to be true), a tablet , and lots of talk about the future of webOS. One thing missing? The name Palm. Looks like that brand could be on the way out. Regardless, we’ll be there live delivering the news in true Engadget fashion… so get ready!

January 4, 2011 No Comment
Seeing that Lucas & Co. already announced that the Star Wars series would be coming to Blu-ray we’re not exactly sure what will be announced on Thursday at Panasonic’s CES booth — please, please, please don’t say it’s another Avatar-style two year pack-in exclusive — but the invite promises it will be most impressive. Darth Vader and a number of Stormtroopers will be on hand and you know we’ll be ready to pass all information revealed onto you (given the parties involved we’re leaning towards some news about a home release of the 3D converted flicks ), even if it’s just that ol’ George has decided to release the prequels ahead of the original trilogy.

It’s hardly a done deal when a relationship is described as in “talks.” Nevertheless, D-Link and Snapstick are definitely working together to evaluate Snapstick’s SplitMedia technology. Snapstick, as you’ll recall, lets you snap any web content (with a focus on video services from Hulu, YouTube and the like) over WiFi from your smartphone to a D-Link box connected to a TV. It works from a laptop too, presumably without all the wrist-flicking. The private trial launches to users later this month but we hope to have a demonstration for you from CES in Las Vegas last this week. Until then, check the video demonstration after the break.

Today’s mega-viral video comes from Columbus, Ohio, where a local videographer has taken up the cause of Ted Williams and his admittedly spot-on radio voice. The Internet powers-that-be are currently trying to get Ted in touch with a Columbus radio station (and an anonymous $15K donation) — you can follow the story here.
