+ Sony patents multiplayer stereoscopic system By admin 20 July 2010 at 10:00 pm and have No Comments

Seeing two images to create a 3D picture is so earlier this year — Sony has been working on a patent that sends two images from one video screen to two different people, allowing for two players to see different images on the same screen. Each player would need their own set of glasses (which would each pull off the right frames), which would then come with earphones for separate audio feeds, too. You’d need a special 3D television to do it, but there are all kinds of cool applications — one person in your house could watch a movie while the other plays games, or you could do local split-screen multiplayer without actually splitting the screen (as seen in the diagram above)

+ Nokia N9 (or something) in the wild: 8 megapixel camera, American 3G? By admin 25 June 2010 at 3:52 pm and have No Comments

We told you, didn’t we ? Whether you want to call this the N98, the N900’s successor, or the N8 plus QWERTY, what you’re looking at above is potentially the visage of Nokia’s next smartphone. It’s being dubbed the N9 by the folks at Negri Electronics , who also inform us it has an 8 megapixel imager on the back, 850 / 1900 3G bands (good for AT&T, Rogers, Telus, and Bell), and “ridiculous screen clarity.” This sort of throws us for a loop, since we’re looking at some straight Symbian action up there, whereas Nokia has told us directly that there’ll be no more Symbian on the N Series after the N8 .

+ Sony 3DTVs go on pre-sale at Sony Style stores immediately, ‘Cloudy’ hits Blu-ray 3D June 22 By admin 09 June 2010 at 1:57 pm and have No Comments

After getting price and release date information in the UK , Japan and even Canada , Sony has finally seen fit to announce US details for the latest and greatest additions to the BRAVIA LCD lineup. Additionally, the software update to turn on Blu-ray 3D playback and DLNA streaming in its latest players (the out of the box 3D ready BDP-S770 ships next month ) is going out today, provided you can find a disc to slip in them — which you can’t until Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs arrives at retail June 22. Just like the other launches, buyers of the new TVs can expect a copy of that movie, Deep Sea, and vouchers for 3D games on the PlayStation Network (once it comes back up.) Oh, and how much will you be spending on the new televisions

+ BlackBerry Slider undergoes further undercover inspection, side shots emerge By admin 13 March 2010 at 11:29 am and have No Comments

We’re still no closer to finding out whether this is the next iteration of the Bold, Storm or some other BlackBerry line, but the unofficially coined BlackBerry Slider continues to pique our interest. Here in the third round of spy shots , we’re seeing the elusive RIM-branded device from a few new angles, namely a round of side shots and a side-by-side with Curve 8900. You’ll notice that the new guys is a bit thicker and longer, and you’ll also see a complete lack of labeling beside the camera

+ Joojoo tablet gets its first batch of press shots, $30 dock accesory By admin 12 December 2009 at 11:59 am and have No Comments

Up until now, the only official shot of the Joojoo tablet was that seductive snippet of the corner. ‘Course, you got a pretty good look of the thing if you bothered to watch our sit-down with Fusion Garage’s Chandra Rathakrishnan, but it’s still a pleasing sight to see the company push out a nice gallery of press shots to really tickle the senses. We aren’t exactly sure if these guys have Cameron’s approval to use Avatar screen shots to promote their product, but at this point , we wouldn’t put anything regarding the Joojoo beyond the realm of feasibility.

Dell’s 9.99mm thin Adamo XPS wasn’t supposed to ship to even the earliest orderers until December 22nd , but it seems as if a minor Christmas miracle has happened over at Adam’s office. In fact, those ordering one of these slimsters today won’t see it until mid-January, but if you got in early, there just might be hope for you yet.
