March 11th, 2010 Eric The details are slim to none on this one, but we’re all about a good pocket cam rumor. According to the usually-reliable Business Insider Cisco will launch a new set of Flip camcorders around the NAB show which runs from April 12-15, but we don’t have any specs yet. Come on Cisco, now you’ve got us guessing not only about the future of the Internet , but also if your newest Flip will support 1080p... Read More...

March 11th, 2010 Eric No surprise here: Sony just officially announced the PlayStation Move motion controller at GDC 2010, calling it the “next generation of motion gaming” because it’s so precise — latency is about the same as the DualShock 3. As expected, it uses the PlayStation Eye camera to track the controller, and Sony says it becomes an “extension of your body.” The plan is not only to engage casual gamers, but to use the precision of the controller to create “new experiences for core gamers” — many of the demo videos we saw involved using a controller video in each hand, and there were quote a few demos of action / RPG games. We also saw a demo of Move Party, which uses the camera to do augmented reality gaming and video chat. ... Read More...

March 11th, 2010 Eric We just got underway at Sony’s PlayStation Move motion controller event. Sure, they haven’t called it “Move,” just yet, but we just saw the “Move” moniker on a demo screen at the side of the stage, so we’re feeling pretty confident at this point.

March 11th, 2010 Eric We’ve been slipped some additional information on Motorola’s imminent Android-powered i1 for iDEN networks today — actually, one correction and one interesting note. First, the correction: we’re now being told (by the same tipster as before ) that it’s actually got a 5 megapixel camera on board, a nice upgrade from the 3 we’d previously been told to expect. ...

March 11th, 2010 Eric The JooJoo tablet’s launch date might have been pushed back a month while Fusion Garage sorts out issues with the capacitive touchscreen, but it looks like the extra time has given the company a chance to tweak the interface and add in some features. Obviously the most noticable change is the revised homescreen, which has gone from line art on a garish solid color background to a nicely rendered icon grid over a high-res customizable wallpaper, but Fusion Garage has also ditched the confusing pinch-to-go-back gesture and replaced it a vertical swipe that brings down a status bar containing the home button, status indicators, browser navigation controls, and a combination address bar / search field. Scroll behavior has been revised as well, with two separate behaviors: a two-finger scroll that works like a scroll wheel, and a single finger “pan” that works like a mouse arrow. ... Read More...

March 11th, 2010 Eric We’re exceptionally likely to find out the official name of Sony ’s PlayStation motion controller in just a few hours during the company’s GDC press event, but till then, we’ve got one more late-breaking morsel to chew on: Move. According to trademark divers across the web, Sony has filed a European trademark for “PlayStation Move,” which certainly sounds like a plausible title for some sort of motion-sensing apparatus. To date, we’ve also heard ” Arc ” thrown around (which we tend to prefer, if we’re being candid), and the logo shown here — which is said to belong to a separate trademark application — definitely looks more like an “A” than an “M.” Keep it locked right here for more as we get it. ...

March 11th, 2010 Eric There’s only about a month to go before Apple drops the iPad on the world, and it looks like all those theories about a last-minute camera addition were just fond fanboy wishes — iPhone SDK 3.2 beta 4 just came out, and in addition to stripping out several video-call related icons, we’ve been told the docs contain this little tidbit about that Camera tab : Launching the Photos application under the iPad Simulator will initially show three tabs: Photos, Albums, and Camera. The Camera tab represents photos available via the Camera Connection Kit for iPad, and is not relevant for the Simulator... Read More...
WD’s 320GB My Passport AV external HDD wants to have and hold your media
March 11th, 2010 Eric Western Digital has played this card before with the strategically named My DVR Expander , but for those who don’t realize that an external hard drive is an external hard drive, there’s the My Passport AV. For all intents and purposes, this 320GB HDD is nothing more than a standard drive with a fancy marketing scheme following it closely... Read More...
