Sony is bad in Keeping secrets

June 04, 2009

Gues SONY is not good in keeping secrets as images of their new PSP Go leaks and making their rounds well ahead of the E3 announcement.

The PSP go will arrive in stores for folks living in North America this October 1, while Europe/PAL territories and Asian countries will get theirs a month later, retailing for $249 and an equivalent amount in Euros, of course. As stated earlier, the PSP go will co-exist with the PSP-3000 in retail stores as gamers as well as those who are curious learn to decide which is the best possible portable gaming system for them.

What makes the PSP go different is it won’t come with any UMD drive - instead, it will ditch all disc-based content by catering to those who want on-demand entertainment, featuring 16GB of internal memory as well as the ability to receive digital entertainment via the PlayStation Network. Sounds fine and dandy, but what about less developed markets where over-the-air download speeds are excruciatingly slow? Guess those folks will just have to settle for regular PSP-3000s.

The new PSP go include an easy sliding panel alongside original applications, a game sleep function that lets you operate the XrossMediaBar while suspending gameplay for the moment, Bluetooth connectivity and a wide range of accessories to go along with it.

Eco Friendly Foot Powered Phone Charger

May 26, 2009

The UK cellular company Orange has figured out how to channel the power of a good idea. In fact, this device can “generate enough energy to power five minutes of call time in the time it takes to inflate a pillow”.

The press release says that it is “no bigger than a packet of Wet Wipes” for a size comparison. Clearly, this Orange Power Pump must be targeted for parents, who know what it is like to travel with Wet Wipes. Orange plans to display this Power Pump at the Glastonbury 2009 Festival, but there is no word on a price. I think that these foot pumps are probably the way to go green and eco-friendly.

This is the real Transformer Bot

May 26, 2009

Everyone likes to own a real transforming robot and guess what now you can because this is a real transforming robot and it’s even eco-friendly. It can change into a total of 6 different robots, giving you plenty of ways to keep yourself entertained. It’s a great and pretty much pointless way to enjoy solar power. Not all solar power really needs to have a point though and this would also be a fun thing to enjoy with your children.

It can change from a robotic dog, to a boat, moving plane, car, windmill and lastly a desktop plane. If you run out of sunlight for some reason, you can also charge this up by utilizing a 50 watt bulb or brighter.

There are a grand total of 25 parts and no screws. Since there are so many parts, this is probably something you should help your kids with if you give it to them. You can pick it up for £13.00 or about $21 from Red5.

Motion tracking 3D cam for XBOX soon

May 13, 2009

In a attempt to overcome the Nintendo WII, Microsoft is believed to be developing a 3D camera for the Xbox 360 games console that will allow players to control games through their body movement.

Unlike the Nintendo's WII which requires a Wiimote to identify the player's movement, the Microsoft XBOX360 camera uses the movement of the player's head, arm and leg.
The accuracy is achieved by using a 3D Z-cam technology which Microsoft acquired Israeli start-up 3DV Systems in February. Sources say that this would be demonstrated in the E3 game industry conference this june and it would be on sales from next year.
