With an official release date yet to be announced more and more details of the MSI Wind have been leaking out. The latest information puts the Wind even further into the Eee PC group as we have just learned that it will not only be available in white, but MSI has plans for a black and pink model as well.

Each of the three colors will be available in both the 8.9-inch and 10-inch displayed models. In addition to the newly discovered colors, TCMagazine is also reporting that there will be a model that will offer up to 7-hours of battery life, now that is high-capacity, lets just hope it does not add a ton of extra weight to go along with the power. Other newly released details include the webcam being 1.3-megapixels and the notebook will also have an second (empty) RAM slot available for easier upgrading. The Wind, which is still expected to be available later this quarter is expected to range in price from 299 to 699 Euros (about $460 to $1,077 US).

Some new images have recently surfaced of the just released Asus Eee PC 900, except these latest pics are of a black model. While it’s not exactly earth shattering information, as the Eee PC 701 has a wide variety of colors, it is nice to see the 900 available in something other than the white, which up until now has been the only color to surface. At least buyers will have a color option, no word on what market this has been released.

LG Korea has announced a shiny new Black mobile phone which is expected to be released under its Black Label Series of handsets. The new LG phone, which is still without a name, is a slim slider style phone and could probably be a follow up to the LG Chocolate or LG Shine, or perhaps even a new model of its own. There’s not too many details on the LG announcement about the new phone except the press image and a mention that it will have a 5-megapixel camera. In addition, the new LG phone would also sport a carbon fiber and tampered glass body finish.

The new LG phone is slated for worldwide release on April 24th. Until then, we could only guess as to how LG is going to name this new handset.

Just as soon as everyone begins to wonder where the previously announced black AT&T Centro is, we have what appears to be the first in-the-wild sighting.

At least one customer, Brian was able to walk into his local AT&T Store in Salt Lake City, Utah and was able to make a quick and easy exchange with his current white model and walked out with black Centro in hand. So AT&T users and Centro fans who were holding out for the black model may want to head on over or give a call to your local store, you may just get lucky. It could be that AT&T and Palm, having already announced the model, opted for a quite introduction into stores.

Nokia has added the N82 to their website in a nice new color, black. While its a nice handset to see offered, its not the 3G capable model that many are hoping for. The newly colored N82 is listed on the Nokia website and is retailing for $629, but will not be available until after February 12, 2008, so you still have a few days to wait. The Nokia N82 features a 5 megapixel that has a xenon flash, microSD storage, FM radio, GPS, Wi-Fi and HSDPA.

Keep reading for a few more pics of the black Nokia N82…

I don’t know about you guys but I get pretty tired writing about every single color option that comes out for Motorola products. We get it, Motorola and Crayola must share designers. Now for my sake, can we go back to black boxes?

PS. The Nintendo DS will now be available in black too.
