Archive for February, 2010Ouch: Samsung’s 3D glasses will cost $150 a pairSunday, February 28th, 2010
After shelling out at least $3,200 for a 3D-capable HDTV, more serious dough for a 3D-capable Blu-ray player, what else do you need? 3D glasses. How much will the new technology cost? According to a listing at Vann’s, Samsung’s active 3D glasses will cost $150 each. Nintendo plans to have you steering with your fingersSunday, February 28th, 2010
Shuttle outs 3.3cm-thin mini-multimedia PC: the XS35Sunday, February 28th, 2010
That’s not an external optical drive you’re looking at. It’s actually Shuttle’s upcoming Windows-based nettop that runs on Intel’s Atom D510 dual core processor. The fact that it measures only 3.3cm? That’s not what makes it awesome (although the size does add to its overall awesome-factor)—it’s that this small desktop kit comes with Nvidia’s ION2 graphics, making for a really compact desktop kit that can handle HD videos and streaming 3D.

Because they can: Quake games ported to Android phonesThursday, February 25th, 2010
This started as a sort of challenge over at Android and Me, with a bounty for anyone who could port a full copy of Quake, a PC-based first person shooter (the original that was released back in 1999), to the mobile Android platform and allow for multiplayer gaming over Wi-fi. After that was accomplished, people started working on mobile (Android) ports of Quake 2 and Quake 3… and succeeded. (video available after the cut.)

MSI has just unveiled the Air Keyboard, a wireless 200-gram keyboard that comes with built-in motion sensors that you can hold up and wave around to move the mouse pointer.

At last, new technology updates for an old product that everybody can use. Better yet, it’s a tech update that’s affordable. Microsoft has just rolled out three new sub-$30 mice based on BlueTrack technology—basically a new tracking technology that replaces conventional laser and optical trackers (as well as the fizzy rubberized balls, if you’re still clinging to what has got to be a really old mouse) that allows you to work on a wider range of surfaces. Pretty handy if you need to pull out a laptop and work from, well, anywhere from granite kitchen counters to your living room carpet. | ||

This new keyboard from Canadian accessory-maker Matias might look like a standard (a really old kind of standard) keyboard with a space to plop down your phone, but we have to admit that the potential is intriguing—especially if you’re an iPhone or iPod touch owner.
Three upcoming 10-inch EeePC netbooks from Asus have been leaked, showing sleek profiles and relatively (for a netbook) high-end designs. Expected to be unveiled during the CeBIT show in Germany next week, the leak from
