  • Nintendo unveils the 3DS, which puts 3D gaming in your hands

    Nintendo unveils the 3DS, which puts 3D gaming in your hands

    Posted on June 15, 2010 | No Comments
    Can’t say we didn’t see this one coming. Well, Nintendo themselves announced that there was a 3D version of the DS in development a few months back. But it’s finally official with a E3 2010 debut and it’s just about what everyone imagined. The secret of the 3DS is the glassless LCD panel that can toggle [...]

    We’re not doing them. There’s no point. Everyone from G4 to SpikeTV to IGN (edit: and Gamespot) to the manufacturers themselves have live video streams and you should watch those rather than reading our dribble. We will however be on hand for some personal action with the new hardware and games as quick as possible. [...]

  • Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus now live on O2 UK

    Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus now live on O2 UK

    Posted on May 28, 2010 | No Comments
    If you bundle the original Pre in with the Pre Plus -- and you pretty much can, considering how closely related they are -- this is quickly becoming one of the most protracted, phased mobile product launches in memory. Yes, that's right: as promised, O2 UK has now launched both the Pre Plus alongside its scrappier little sibling, the Pixi Plus, and you can get either one for as little as zero quid depending on how you play your cards. The Pixi Plus goes in your pocket for free on any plan, while the Pre Plus stays free as long as you spend at least £40 ($58) a month and scales up to £99 ($143) on the cheaper plans. We've got to believe there's some awesome new (like, legitimately new) hardware in Palm's pipe at this point -- but a free webOS device is always a tough offer to pass up, right?

    Nintendo 3DS: New details leak in Japan

    Posted on March 24, 2010 | No Comments
    Nintendo's announcement of its new portable 3D gamimg device 3DS was very brief, prompting us to speculate about possible features and implications for the way people will play games in the future. But today the Nikkei, Japan's Wall Street Journal, is offering a bit more insight (and the Nikkei is usually a very reliable source).

    The Archos 9 PC Tablet makes room for the Atom Z515 CPU

    Posted on March 23, 2010 | No Comments
    Isn't it grand when companies somewhat silently update their products with new hardware but keeps the previous price. That's just what Archos did with the 9 PC Tablet. Overnight it went from the Intel Atom Z510 1.1GHz CPU to the Z515 1.2GHz Atom with Hyper-Threading and Intel Burst Performance Technology. It's a nice little spec bump, actually.

    >Apparently with a bit of geek know-how, a 1984 Macintosh can run OS X Snow Leopard. Who knew? Best of all this is something that nearly anyone with some determination and Google skills can do. The hardest part is probably locating a 1984 Macintosh.

    How TiVo missed the mark with the new Premiere

    Posted on March 3, 2010 | No Comments
    Excuse me while I let off a little steam. I was a tad hasty in my proclamation yesterday that the TiVo Premiere changes everything. It doesn’t. In fact, it doesn’t change anything. It’s a big pile of disappointment and missed opportunity. TiVo doesn’t release hardware that often so when it does, it better be good. Tivos have a ridiculously [...]

    No new Wii ‘any time soon’ says Nintendo

    Posted on February 25, 2010 | No Comments
    Don’t expect new console hardware from Nintendo in the near future. When asked “When do you think it’ll be time for new hardware?” in a recent interview with Gamespot, Nintendo’s Cammie Dunaway replied, “I don’t think it’ll be any time soon because even though our installed base is, at this point, 5 million households larger than the PS2 installed base was at the same point in its lifecycle, it still has a lot of room to grow.”

    Moblin + Maemo + Linux Foundation = MeeGo

    Intel's had their Moblin mobile Linux distribution for some time. Nokia's had their Maemo Linux distribution for awhile, too. Neither one really gained much traction in the development community. Along comes Google and everyone's like "OMG Android!!1" which must've really ticked off Intel and Nokia. In an effort to create a Linux distribution suited for new mobile devices -- not just phones -- Intel and Nokia are teaming up with the Linux Foundation to create MeeGo.

In a once-in-a-blue-moon event, the guys over at Pocket-Lint asked for details about when Nokia might be launching new hardware and actually managed to get an answer.

    There are few buzzkills as harsh as tearing open a much-anticipated new gadget only to find something glaringly wrong with it. It doesn’t happen all that often anymore, with the big players all having some pretty rigorous Q&A practices in place. Unfortunately, all the reassurances in the world that something “shouldn’t happen” doesn’t help cool [...]

  • TiVo Premiere leaked by manual mix-up?

    TiVo Premiere leaked by manual mix-up?

    Posted on December 30, 2009 | No Comments
    It's about time that TiVo outs some new hardware and it looks like it might be sooner than later. The TiVo HD and HD XL have been sitting atop the companies mast unchanged for sometime now, while other DVRs like the Moxi keeps the updates rolling. But a little manual mix-up might show what TiVo is prepping to launch. The story goes that Patrick McCarron upgraded to a TiVo HD and discovered that his box included a TiVo Premiere and Premiere XL setup guide. Now that's a little interesting because as far as anyone knows, those products don't exist. But from what we can make it, the info on the unannounced products seem to follow a evolutionary path from the current models.
