    Astro A30 Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker headset coming at ya

    Posted on June 8, 2010 | No Comments
    Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker comes out today in North America, and in 10 days in Europe. (It came out in Japan about two weeks ago.) Famous Japanese video game magazine Famitsu gave it a 40/40, so we can safely assume it's not bad at all. Also not bad, probably? The Astro A30 gaming headset. Konami helped the Astro team design the headset, dontcha know?

  • Acer ‘Liquid Stream’ S110 scores FCC approval: Android, 720p video recording

    Acer ‘Liquid Stream’ S110 scores FCC approval: Android, 720p video recording

    Posted on May 25, 2010 | No Comments
    So a new Android-powered handset from Acer popped up at IO last week -- the so-called "Liquid Stream," which would presumably succeed the Liquid and Liquid e in Acer's lineup. AndroidGuys is reporting that the phone is currently running Android 2.1 (which we'd hope would morph into 2.2 by release) paired with a Snapdragon core and a 5 megapixel camera capable of 720p video capture, so it's the "5.0 Megapixel HD 720p" inscription on the back of the diagram in this FCC filing for a phone called the Acer S110 (along with the obvious similarity in shape) that's allowing us to deduce that these two bad boys are one and the same. Android France has it pegged for October -- and it's got 850 / 1900MHz HSPA, so we could theoretically see a few land in North America by the time this all shakes out. Who's interested?

    To all those Samsung enthusiasts living in Europe: this one's for you. Samsung today announced that the Bada-powered Wave is now available in the UK and France (it has been available in Germany for about a week). UK Vodafone fans can grab the phone for free on a £25 per month plan, but no outright prices have yet been announced for the UK or France. However, eager Germans can pick it up for €429.

    Microsoft gearing up for worldwide launch of Project Natal in October

    Posted on May 11, 2010 | No Comments
    In an interview with GamertagRadio, Microsoft Saudi marketing manager Syed Bilal Tariq reportedly spilled the beans on the launch date (well, month) of Project Natal, the Redmond company's motion-sensing camera for the Xbox 360. Not only did Tariq say that Project Natal would be hitting the market in October 2010, well in time for the holiday season, but he apparently also revealed that the launch would be global, or simultaneously in North-America and the EMEA region at the very least.

  • Sony Ericsson Vivaz pro lands FCC approval

    Sony Ericsson Vivaz pro lands FCC approval

    Posted on May 6, 2010 | No Comments
    We can imagine the conversation going something like this:

    "Hello, FCC speaking. How can I help you?"
    "Hey, Sony Ericsson here. So basically, we took this phone you guys already approved, and just... you know, slapped a keyboard on it. We cool?"
    "Well, no, we aren't 'cool.' Go ahead and submit another set of test results and we'll get back to you."
    "But..."
    "...no 'buts.' Just do it." (click)

    And that, you see, brings us to this filing for the Vivaz pro. It's not a North America-bound version -- there's no 850 / 1900MHz or AWS 3G -- but at least it'll get you some high-speed data if you're in 900 or 2100MHz markets (read: Europe). And heck, it might even make an original Vivaz owner or two jealous in the process.

    Posted on May 4, 2010 | No Comments
    Samsung may be a little crazy to create their own OS when Android is free, powerful, and popular, but that doesn't mean that I'm not at least a little curious about what the new OS may bring. On that note, you may be interested to hear that the first of Samsung's Bada-powered phones -- the Samsung Wave 8500 -- may be making its way over from Europe to come visit your hometown*.

    Say what you want about it (too expensive, too small etc.), but I've always liked the world's first commercially available OLED TV, Sony's XEL-1. It's just an 11-inch screen and costs $2,200, but the picture quality is just gorgeous. Today, however, Sony announced they won't produce and sell the device on the Japanese market anymore.

    When the Google Nexus One was announced early last month, Android fans went giddy with excitement, especially since there is an option to buy it unlocked. The only downside was that if you wanted 3G service, you were limited to T-Mobile’s decent, but smaller network. AT&T users are still out of luck and limited to [...]

    Ruggedized computers are typically pretty ugly, and the Juniper Systems handheld is no exception. Designed to withstand extreme temperatures, and drops onto concrete from a height of up to 5ft without damage, it’d be the ideal thing for the construction site or roadworks project. That’s not to say that this particular handheld is not without it’s [...]
