Bring the retro-bowling arcade experience home
Posted on April 26, 2010 | No Comments
People love arcade games, and have since the 50's. Some of the earliest games were based off of other recreations, like for example bowling. I remember playing one of these in the arcade in town during my youth, but it never held the attraction to me like Battle Zone or Asteroids did.

LG goes nouveau nostalgic with first US Mobile DTV devices
Posted on December 29, 2009 | No CommentsLG just announced its first commercial products for the fledgling US Mobile DTV standard approved in October. First up is what appears to be a DTV-ified LG Lotus clamshell -- a phone first introduced in 2008 but now capable of extracting digital TV from the aether with an assist from that telescoping antenna. Also set for a CES launch is that DP570MH portable DVD player that lets viewers watch up to 4-hours of ATSC-approved Mobile DTV broadcasts before heading back for a charge. LG's also promising more ATSC Mobile DTV devices from Dell (laptops), Kenwood, and others including in-car receivers all using LG's LG2160A ATSC-M/H tuner chip. Still, mobile antennas and DVD players... how can something so new feel so retro?

Cartel’s CT-2000 in-car Bluetooth handset adds music control, can’t shake the retro
Posted on November 2, 2009 | No CommentsFiled under: Handsets, Peripherals
Cartel's CT-1000 brought about lots of laughs here at Engadget HQ, and frankly, we're shocked and amazed (and glad) these guys are still hanging tough two years later. The newest in-car handset system is the predictably titled CT-2000, which includes a Bluetooth-enabled handset that's meant to be permanently installed within your vehicle and wired to your audio system. Once installed, all of your mobile calls can be routed to this -- because, you know, chatting on a corded phone circa 1992 is entirely more safe than chatting on your mobile or using a handsfree solution. The only difference we can spot between the new guy and the aged sibling is the addition of music control, a "slimmer" (albeit wider) design, room for your phone contacts and one-touch speed dialing. There's no mention of a price, but trust us, you're better off in the dark.

More Olympus EP-2 news than you probably care about
Posted on October 30, 2009 | No CommentsThe second generation in Olympus’s retro micro four thirds line is almost here. Olympus China leaked that a few days ago.

The retrotastic Leica M9 and X1 get pictured, specs found

Is this not the greatest iPod speaker you have ever seen?
Posted on August 18, 2009 | No CommentsThe only reason I'm writing about this is because it looks ridiculous. It's the “Retro Cassette Stereo Mini Speaker for iPod/iPhone,” and it's exactly as it sounds. Plug your iPod in there, and off you go.

Now a Japanese man called Kogoro Kurata decided to transform his 1950s model into a retro bulldozer for some reason [JP].

Rather, it is the latest software-only implementation of the classic Hewlett Packard scientific calculator, the 15C. It gets better. This emulator runs on the iPhone, and is joined there by its little brother, the 12C (a financial calculator). [...] -
