Intel launched the new Intel SSD 320 Series with faster speeds, higher sizes and lower prices. You can now purchase a 600GB SSD, if you have the cash. If you are on a budget, the 40GB models start at $89.

Amazon may have already launched their Music Locker, but it looks like Apple may be working on a Music Locker as part of a revamped Mobile Me service expected to launch in April.
