Your first 3D PS3 games launch tomorrow, including Wipeout HD
Posted on June 9, 2010 | No CommentsOK, Wipeout HD is a fine, fine game, but how will it look in 3D? Probably disappointing, if only because it's going to have to be run in a rubbish resolution in order for the PS3 to create the stereoscopic image. Kvetching aside, Sony will release four stereoscopic 3D games for the PS3 tomorrow: Wipeout HD, Super Stardust, PAIN, and Motor Storm Pacific Rift. You will, of course, need a 3D TV to appreciate the extra dimensionality.

mTouch: An affordable multi-touch web table
Posted on May 25, 2010 | No Comments
It's hard out here at Disrupt for gadget geeks, but we just got lucky. Merel Technologies is showing off a very cool multi-touch web table that uses gesture recognition, object recognition, and multi-user multi-touch to create a new way to interact with media and kiosk apps.
The best thing? It costs $3,200 for the 32-inch model and $4,200 for the 42-incher and they're available now.
The table is made by Merel Technologies in New York and it uses a stacked multi-touch layer along with an LCD TV to display the interface. A built-in PC runs the whole thing and you can tear it down to create a coffee-table sized device. You can also customize colors.

Dell’s 7- and 10-inch tablets appear right on schedule
Posted on April 16, 2010 | No Comments

It's not actually a surprise per se as we doubt anyone really believed that Dell's only tablet offering would be a small 5-inch guy.

Not 3D but pretty, too: Sony’s seven new LCD TVs
Posted on March 9, 2010 | No CommentsGranted, the seven new LCD (non-3D) TVs Sony announced [JP] in Japan today are not as sexy as their 3D counterparts, but they are worth mentioning, too.

Posted on January 14, 2010 | No Comments
Toshiba's first Blu-ray recorders are on their way, and the company also announced [JP] new TVs with built-in Blu-ray players today.
