Unlike Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii suffers smaller impact from Sony PlayStation 3 Slim arrival. But as it appeared, they also decided to drop the price for their bundle a bit. Why? Well, our idea is that Wii has been around for quite a while now and the new one is coming. In fact come to think of it, Wii is the oldest of the three. But still the same fun as it was two years back, I'm I right? This is the thing about gaming consoles - they depreciate slower that desktop PCs or smartphones. Back to Amazon now.

Nintendo Wii has finally dropped under two hundreds dollars. 199.99 USD tag is, of course, very catchy, but with the console itself you get the excess to an boundless world of Wii games, peripherals, and even backward compatibility with Nintendo GameCube if you got nostalgic about it. Bundle inculeds Wii sports game - a perfect variant to get acuainted with Wii is capable of.

Intel Developer Forum brief 0 comments

More OLED notebook stuff, this time from IDF. Only that this time a full OLED panel is not the case. Intel has given everyone a glimpse at freshly developed concept notebook that has three downsized screens located right over the keyboard. Lets join this with the fact that Intel developed Moblin operating system has reached its 2.1 version, an epic Light Peak 10Gbps interconnector for mobile devices and it sort of comes all together as I see it.

You don’t need a weather man to know which way the wind blows, so I just look forward to an end product developed fully by Intel. I do think they have the technology and ability to come up with a neat netbook probably even with OLED and Moblin onboard, who knows? Not a long time ago we have reviewed internet orientated operating systems and concluded that they make sense especially for computing on the go. In the same key light and slim OLED display is perfect for a notebook. Intel, we are intrigued.

MSI Wind U110 ECO goes on sale 0 comments

MSI has rolled its new Wind U110 ECO netbook today and split everyone into two groups with it. First say that Wind U110 ECO hasn't earned their attention largely because its Intel GMA500 GPU. Fair enough, especially if we look back at overly enthusiastic articles that indicate that MSI U110 is going to have ATI graphics. Others reply that the toughest graphic gig it will do on everyday basis is Windows Aero Theme, so they are happy with saving money on graphics. Anyway, MSI Wind ECO netbook has more upsides to consider.

Long battery life in a netbook is sure an upside. MSI U110 sports a 9 cell battery that will last 15 hours from plug to plug. Enough for a whole day out, but it comes to price: its up to you whether 3.2 lbs is easy to carry around or not, so choose wisely here. Price (399 USD) and the rest of specs hasn't been changed and left the same as we knew it since Wind U110 ECO was announced:

Next-gen Nintendo Wii HD is planed for 2011 0 comments

This September was, the first half of it mosly, particularly rich with mobile phone news. We have seen many releases and many phones were announced and are still to come. It's time to switch to something else, isn't it? Over the last couple of months there were quite a few really vibrant news from the world of gaming consoles. I remember Xbox 360 Arcade has been added double the system memory, black Nintendo Wii has been locked to Japanese market, and, of course, PlaySation 3 Slim went on sale. Finally we have some news from Nintendo regarding their next-gen Wii plans.

Next-gen Nintendo Wii HD comes out somewhere in year 2011, has different sort of features it lacked comparing with the other two console giants. It may also have a new controller and I'm sure a lot of deferent new stuff that kept it so exiting and fun unless some of Wii's features are more humble than Xbox's or PS'.

For the nearer future though we have a closing Tokyo Game Show were console fans expect to see new motion controllers. Yoichi Wada, the Square Enix head said that it wouldn't have a considerable influence on market share distribution, but all the input is done via controller so those who just want to play games might prefer it to everything else.

Apple tablet rumored for Februry 2010, do you like MacBook Touch name? 0 comments

Sep 15, 2009
Half a year back, and this is a nice thing to bring up for me, we were thinking and talking about how is Apple going to update its gadgets, with what features and what functionality. Because most of it was imaginary, very exiting therefore, or maybe because Apply has though it is really very good idea to launch an internet tablet, we are now going to do the same thing as before.

Yes, a tablet. A touchscreen internet gadget with fast bandwidth speeds and a big battery for endless fun. Unlike CrunchPad and if we are informed well, Apply is not going to limit the upcoming tablet with just internet functionality. What we know about it at the moment is that it is going o have a P. A. Semi processor, a DynaPack battery that will let do your internet research and then get carried away playing games or social networking more likely. 9.6 inch display is not confirmed to be not OLED so we keep our fingers crossed for that. HSDPA, of course, Wi-Fi also probably. Prices vary from 799 to 999 USD which overall makes it land somewhere between a proper smartphone and a good laptop. I just wonder, how much functionality of both Apple tablet will be able to take when it comes out next February?

NovoThink Solar Surge charger for iPhones and iPods 0 comments

We got used to see solar chargers appearing all around especially before summer. We’ve seen and reviewed a good slag of them. Mostly, solar chargers require a bit of compromise in day-to-day usage – freedom they offer can be bogged down by taking care of them like leaving the thing in the sun and carrying extra weight. Anyway, here is a one more solar power gadget, the one for iPhone and iPod this time.

NovoThink, the company which designed and is selling Solar Surge solar charger for iPhone/iPod has done an amazing thing. First, NovoThink has approved their solar cell case at Apple, which means it will actually work. Second, it’s specs are really impressive. Solar panel distributes 5.5V at 100 mAh if there is no clouds whatsoever, then, after two hours you will have 30 minutes talk time on 3G and double that on 2G. Solar Surge inbuilt battery is 20% bigger than the iPhone’s and can be charged via USB 2.0 while synchronizing data. Approximate dimensions are: 4.9" x 2.7" x 0.9", weight is 7 oz. In addition you can choose from a vast variety of colors. The only problem about the Surge I can imagine is that high temperatures may cause problems for lithium ion batteries which is kind of worrying if it’s meant to stay in the sun.

IFA news: Samsung OLED laptop in Q3 '10 0 comments

About a year ago, we had a fortune to become witness of the first OLED panel going into mass production. Back then it was a hi-tech exhibition, and, well, the story has repeated, almost. Today at the first day of IFA Berlin Samsung’s Head of Worldwide Sales and Marketing, who is Kyu Uhm of course, has given us a deem view of what will be a show stopper in a year – a (first) OLED notebook.

I am not going to speak all about his speech at IFA. Instead, let’s just have a walk through what an OLED display on a notebook can offer and take. One glance back though: Kyu Uhm has mentioned an expected growth of netbook market. In short, what he effectively said was: "We are making an OLED netbook". How good is that? If we think of power consumption, then it makes even more sense than putting an OLED display in a standard-sized laptop. What are main juice lovers in a PC? – screen, hard drive and processor. Same thing with size and weight. Organic diodes are really thin and light. Besides being overly magnificent to behold. So the future of personal computing, which is coming from Samsung in late Q3 of 2010, is a netbook with an OLED panel, SSD and low voltage processor. I like that. If only they give it out for netbook money, which I’m afraid they won’t.

You might have though the picture above is familiar to you. Yes, it is not new and not true. It’s a last year concept.

MSI X-Slim X600 hits Amazon with 799.99 USD on the tag 0 comments

It is about now for MSI X-Slim X600 to go for sale, which it does today. At this point there are probably not many people left who are overly exited by this news because most of specs and photos have been here and there for quite a time now. In this case, the only readers to whom we should address here are those who actually already decided to get an X-Slim X600. One thing I like about MSI notebooks was that they tend to not overprice what they are selling. X600 costs 799.99 USD at Amazon, enough to step back and think over purchase ones again.

While you are thinking how many gallons of petrol an Asus Eee 1008HA Seashell will save you, I will remind what you are paying for. X-Slim X600 sports a 1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Solo on a GS45+ICH9M-SFF chipset. Two units of 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM memory, 2GB each. I especially like its video card – its ATI Radeon HD 4330, 512MB – not a thriller, of course, but I was expecting less at first and good job they didn’t mess with Intel inbuilt graphics. MSI X600 is perfectly capable of running your all-time favorite 3D game, do you see what I mean? Back to specs, for 799.99 USD you also get a 6 cell battery, 320GB SATA HDD and a 15.6 inch WXGA LCD with 1366 x 768 res and 16 : 9 aspect ratio. Still kinda pricy? – that what I think, but then it will last till you decide to get another laptop, and then it will last a couple more years, hopefully.

Nokia Booklet 3G is official, focus on Nokia World 2009 for now 0 comments

Now this is a big one. We might have missed the big news about the announced Nokia Booklet 3G laptop by three hours or so. This is why in order to redeem our fault we are bringing more accurate specifications of the Booklet 3G. First things first, this is a kind of device that already tries to outdo everything around, despite we don’t know its price. No one will until Nokia World 2009, which will take place on next week's Wednesday. Still, should Nokia Booklet 3G be addressed to as a netbook, laptop, anything else? Well let’s find out.

At a first glance, all we see is a pretty small aluminum body, forget about plastic. Dimensions are: 264 mm x 185 mm x 19.9 mm. Weight is 1.25 kilos. Aluminum probably adds a fair bit of weight to the internals, but that is a small price to pay really for long lasting and durable, beautifully curved piece of design.

Now, what about specs? The biggest mystery was Booklet’s processor. It was said in the official Nokia press release that all is driven by a new sufficient processor from Intel Atom family. But then ZDNet UK, referring to Nokia, posted on their website that the Booklet 3G has a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom Z530 inside. That’s fine by me because they also said that it has no fan. Nokia that has a fatal flaw of overheating is too much middle class. And, can you see through it? It starts falling off netbook shelf before we even got to the equipment. Here is a list of what is known about Nokia 3G laptop at the moment:

* 1.6 GHz Intel Atom Z530 processor

* 10.1 inch display

* 12 hour battery

* 3G/ HSPA, GPS, A-GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ovi Maps

* Hot-swappable SIM card slot, SD card slot, USB 2.0 x 3

* Front web camera

* HDMI output, 3.5 mm headphone jack

* Microsoft Windows 7 OS (judging by video only)
