Have you ever wondered what goes on at home when you’re not around?? Rovio (as the title suggests) is a wireless robot. This means that however you get online, Rovio will be your new friend. So whether you use your iphone, games console or PC, you can literally be anywhere in the world and Rovio can stay at home. But that’s not all…
Could Facebook really be concieving the idea of a ‘Facebook’ smart phone?? Quite possibly, though many people (including facebook themselves) have denied these rumors.
Via Mashable…
Spokesperson Jaime Schopflin revealed the following in a statement to Mashable:
“The story, which originated in Techcrunch, is not accurate. Facebook is not building a phone. Our approach has always been to make phones and apps more social. Current projects include include everything from an HTML5 version of the site to apps on major platforms to full Connect support with SDKs to deeper integrations with some manufacturers. Our view is that almost all experiences would be better if they were social, so integrating deeply into existing platforms and operating systems is a good way to enable this. For an example, check out Connect for iPhone and the integration we have with contact syncing through our iPhone app. Another example is the INQ1 phone with Facebook integration (the first so-called ‘Facebook Phone’). The people mentioned in the story are working on these projects. The bottom line is that whenever we work on a deep integration, people want to call it a ‘Facebook Phone’ because that’s such an attractive soundbite, but building phones is just not what we do.”
Back in June we wrote a post that said that the HTC Desire may be getting itself the new Android 2.2 update around June time, but we did also say that this date was not set in stone… The SIM free update came just after, early in August. This was followed by the update for Vodafone users. Now that we’re in September, T-Mobile has finally started to push out the Android 2.2 update.
Quite why other mobile devices such as Sony Ericssons’ Xperia X10 are still left out of the loop is anyone’s guess and as soon as we here anything else we’ll let you know.
Well its here, Sony’s much anticipated Playstation Move is now available. In an older post, we stated Move’s capabilities and potential.
If you shop at Amazon, $29.96 for the navigation controller, $49.99 for the Move controller, Camera at $32.82 and $99.99 for a starter pack which includes both controllers and a camera, seems pretty reasonable. [Read more…]
Its been reported that the 29th of September is to be the release date for Logitechs new Google TV box. A good few weeks earlier than at first rumored. So those pining after this may be more than satisfied.
Its been named as the Logitech Revue, though with a fairly hefty price tag of $299, will the Google box still attract the consumer to investing their hard-earned cash especially when Apple will have their own version for only $99? Will this phase Google? [Read more…]
Could this be the iPad killer?? There’s a veritable plethora of reasons why it could be.
The new Samsung Galaxy Tab will be on sale in the US as of next month, across many of the major networks such as Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, and Sprint. As already mentioned in a previous post found here, we know of rumours dotted around the internet at the moment of prices for the Galaxy Tab ranging from between $200 – $400 on contract and around $600 – $700 as an unlocked package so nothing set in stone just yet. But later rumours spreading now sees pricing to over a grand in Europe alone (is this too much??) and as usual with wireless networks these days and based on their own marketing projects we’re still unsure on contract prices.
The brain training game everybody knows and loves on the Nintendo DS is making its way to Kinect as a sequel next year.
Its a far cry from the action you see in many games being released at the moment. So, at least for the more intellectual or those just up for a bit of fun, this new instalment will be more than welcome when its released for Kinect as it hits stores in November.
As with all new consoles or peripherals, they tend to triumph or fall by the wayside depending on the games that are available for them. It was the same with the original Xbox on release day and it was true for the Playstation 3 as well. This is all the more true for Microsoft’s Kinect. Unfortunately, at E3 earlier this year, our confidence wasn’t garnered with plenty of new games to satisfy our hunger for new games that would make Kinect that must have peripheral. But more recently it was announced at TGS that 5 new and exclusive Kinect titles will be released which actually show plenty of promise.
Below you’ll find details of the games to be released, though some details may be sparse, you’ll gain a better impression of what to look out for. [Read more…]
Unfortunately, for those who are still happy with, and continuing to use the Windows XP OS until the end of time, will be getting a nasty shock if they had intended on utilising the latest IE…Regarding the release of Internet Explorer 9, the powers that be have decided against running the new IE on XP as… [Read more…]
During Sony’s press conference at the Tokyo Games Show, it was announced that it will finally release 3D Blu-ray support onto the PS3 from 21 September.
Record-breaking sales of $200 million has catapulted, once again, the Halo series as the biggest entertainment launch in 2010 for the US alone.
As mentioned before in a previous post “Halo: Reach, touchdown” Halo: Reach is the 4th instalment of the Halo series which is set prior to that of Halo: Combat Evolved, in the year 2552 where the player takes control of Noble 6, a member of an elite supersoldier squad during the battle for the world of Reach as the Covenant begin their assault on the planet.
Yes thats right, the title is correct. Surely, come winter, you head down stairs to your computer or laptop when its nice and frosty outside. You don’t want to have to lug your bed covers with you and you don’t want to have to sit in front of a roaring fire with laptop in hand do you?
So what better way is there than to have with you a USB heated blanket? They come in 3 colours, pink, grey and navy blue.
With the blanket you get 2 USB cables. You can use one if its not sub-zero outside or both if the temperature decides to take a nosedive for that added heat and comfort. Its a novel and innovative idea to be able to sit on your couch with a laptop and be snug as a bug while being wrapped in this USB heated blanket.
