    Video: Droid Incredible does multi-touch better than the Nexus One

    Nexus One owners, you might want to take a seat for this one. You know the HTC Incredible? That phone that popped up out of no where, matched or surpassed all of the Nexus’ specs, and then killed off any chance of a Nexus One for Verizon? Now, you recall that unfixable issue that the [...]

  • Nook passes Kindle sales in March

    Nook passes Kindle sales in March

    Well look at this: new kid on the book, Barnes & Noble's Nook ereader, just surpassed Amazon Kindle sales in March. Obviously the Nook is a bit newer than the Kindle and those who were going to buy a Kindle probably have already, but it also looks like B&N's retail network is also driving sales. Digitimes reports that 53% of e-book readers shipped were Nooks while 1.43 million ereaders were sold in Q1 2010. They're estimating that total ereader sales will reach 11 million by year's end.

    CrunchDeal: Left 4 Dead 2 for $20 on Steam

    Curse you Steam store, and all your weekend deals. I'm weak before your offers of gaming goodness, and my list of games in the new Steam client grows ever larger. It's particularly bad when you offer games like Left 4 Dead 2 for $20. Don't tell my wife, I just clicked on that buy button.

    Video: N64 emulator running on hacked iPad

    Apparently the iPad has been hacked. Who knew? And what’s the first you do with a hacked iPad? You run emulators, of course! This here is a video showing an N64 emulator running Super Smash Bros and Super Mario 64. It looks good, but the sound—always a tricky thing for emulators to nail—is a [...]

  • Folders are a welcomed addition to the iPhone

    Folders are a welcomed addition to the iPhone

    It took forever to get here - nearly as long as multitasking -- but soon you'll be able to neatly organize all your apps into folders right on the iPhone. There's no need to launch iTunes, either. Just drag and drop apps on top of each other to automatically consolidate them into one folder.

    Help Key: Everything you need to know about the iPad

    When will I be able to get one? If you hit the stores, I suspect your local Apple store may have some in stock. This isn’t iPhone level hysteria. If you order one now on-line, though, you won’t get one via UPS until April 12. If I go today, will I still be able to get one? Call [...]

  • Heaven forefend! Has Nintendo’s 3DS announcement killed the DSi XL?

    Heaven forefend! Has Nintendo’s 3DS announcement killed the DSi XL?

    NOT FOR KIDS! In all honesty, I don’t think the DSi XL is part of Nintendo’s standard line-up. It’s a reaction to the popularity of the Wii in retirement centers and is aimed at a much older – and much different audience – than the new 3D DS, aptly named the 3DS. Older folks who may [...]

    CrunchDeals: 1GB iPod Nano for $48

    This is obviously a much older Nano but at <A HREF="">$48 for 1GB, I may get this for my Dad so he can listen to Roy Orbison albums. Again, not amazingly great but $48? Pretty good.

  • First Look: Nintendo DSi XL

    First Look: Nintendo DSi XL

    Just got another care package from Nintendo, and it’s a big one — literally. Nintendo sent us one of its new DSi XL units, and color me impressed. The screens look great, and games look like they should have been on a screen this size in the first place. I don’t even need my reading [...]

    Oh, neat: Command & Conquer 4 requires a constant Internet connection, too

    Let's make one thing clear: I wouldn't play Command and Conquer 4 if it was the game on Earth. It's just not "me." So pardon my blase attitude while I drop this bombshell: the game uses the same stupid DRM that Ubisoft now uses, which I complained about on CNN. Add this to your list of games not to buy, then.

    Ubisoft claims new DRM scheme was designed by ‘PC guys’ who are our ‘friends’

    Is it even worth getting upset over this Ubisoft nonsense? By now you've certainly heard about the company's plans to implement a new form of DRM for its PC releases—I've only written about it 800 times in the past month! The DRM is bat-shit crazy, sure, but it's the sentiment behind it that has me concerned this Sunday morning.

    Apple and global carriers raise OTA iPhone app download limit to 20MB

    One thing I really love about the iPhone is discovering a new app while I'm out on the town, ignoring friends and family for my phone. I'll check out reviews, look at some screen shots and take the plunge. Then the unexpected happens: the app won't download because the file size is too big.

    There’s a Wii game that’s just walking

    Konami, you magnificent bastards. I’ve seen Wii fitness games before but this brings the idea to a whole new level. Walk It Out! is a game where the goal is to… wait for it… walk around.
