It’s almost been three months since Sprint released the Centro, which means their exclusivity on the Palm device is almost up. For those of you with AT&T or T-Mobile as a carrier, you better get ready. The Centro is coming, but we’re just not sure when. AT&T, T-Mobile Palm Centro Details Surface [Phone News] ShareThis

npyjama105.jpgIf pajamas get itchy when you wear them to bed, I’ve a great solution: sleep naked. If that’s not an option for a self-hating person like yourself, some fancy new PJs have been developed that are totally “itch-free” and will even regulate your temperature. They’re made from a fabric called Dermasilk, which is apparently really comfortable, and judging by the picture will make you look pretty ridiculous. They were developed for Travelodge, so next time you’re staying at a really cheap hotel maybe you’ll get a complimentary set of these things. [Telegraph via Spulch]

galacticship.jpgThe Onion has finally gotten around to reporting on Virgin Galactic unveiling its new spaceship, and I’m pretty sure they got most of the facts wrong. Personally, I think The Onion could use a tiny bit more serious reporting. Will passengers really get “awesome robot sex” in space? I somehow doubt it, but if so why don’t you quote your sources, Onion? Hello, fact checking! Let’s try to take things more seriously Onion, shall we? Your reputation is at stake. [The Onion]

Hey, China! Have we got something for you! No, it’s not an iPhone, it’s an iFauxne! The T32 is an iPhone clone running Windows Mobile 6: Smartphone Edition, and features many iPhone-like features, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, touchscreen, motion sensors, and EDGE.

But, well, it runs Windows Mobile. Not sure on the price, but you’re superior off with an HTC Touch if you’re willing to go WinMo for your handset.

zune.jpgA man who allegedly received an electric shock from his Zune headphones has filed a lawsuit against Microsoft. Joel Geddis received the shock in November of 2006, and since then he has suffered “blood and fluid leakage from (his) ear canal” and “incessant ringing and anguish.” [Sorry West Coast lunchers!] This news comes days after iPod classic owners reported similar incidents since a new firmware update. Update: Joel has written us to clarify his claim.

Correction Request: Microsoft Sued, Zune Owner Claims Ear Damage Microsoft Zune Injuries Mon, Feb 4, 2008 at 4:14 PM To: bennyg@gizmodo.com Hi Benny,

I read your article and notice that you didn’t mention the blast of noise that happened the very same instant as the shock. The coupling of these two device malfunctions are a key part of the claim. Would you mind updating the post?

The actual claim can be found here: www.microsoftzuneinjuries.com

Regards,

Joel

Thanks for the update, but we’re not sure what the domain name is getting at — as far as we know, this guy’s lawsuit is based solely on the headphone injury, but perhaps it will one day expand to represent victims of any and all bodily harm encountered while trying to join the Social. Geddis’ attorneys hope to make this a class-action case, but first they’ll have to find more Zune owners who have experienced this problem. Finding a niche that narrow sounds like a tall order to us.
