I admit it: I'm a proud Wal-Mart shopper. Where else can you buy MP3 players, car tires, steak, and clothes for less; get your eyes checked; pay for a haircut; do banking; and meet your favorite author? So, you can probably imagine that I'm excited to challenge Wal-Mart to my TechSaver Test.

Nikon runs a leaky ship, that’s for sure. The D300s is following the same path that the D5000 blazed. The upcoming DSLR is set to launch shorty according to a leaked release schedule, but here she is. I’m sure it’s safe to say that the D300s is the real deal at this point.

Short Version: Friends, this is the nerdiest and coolest Nintendo DS Lite case that a Transformers fan could ask for. What kid (12-year-old or 35-year-old) wouldn’t want their DS to look like Bumblebee or Megatron? Do you see the stylus that each set comes with? Pick one up for your kid or yourself.

Okay AT&T, lets talk. If you're not ready to launch a phone 3 months after it's announced, no one will really notice. If, at 6 months, the company still hasn't prepped the handset for compatibility with your 3G network, you might want to start yelling. But a year?
