The new Toshiba MK1011GAH is just the right size to fit in an iPod, measuring in at 54x71x8mm and weighing just 59g. The drive is expected to be released in January, just in time for Apple’s MacWorld show and expected new device announcements. I wouldn’t be surprised if the drive ends up in Apple’s rumored widescreen touchscreen video iPod.

Too bad.]

While the photograph below might seem a little shady, there’s a rumor on the street that Microsoft announced a 100GB hard drive for the Xbox 360 during a presentation at their Korean X06 conference.

The additional storage will be a welcome addition for those of us who’ve exhausted the anemic 20GB drives in our 360′s already. Let’s hope that Microsoft also provides a solution for transferring data from your old drive to the new one. No pricing or release date has been announced yet, but I did find some mention of March 2007 in the postings.
