And while his 5th-ranked OSU fell in the Sweet Sixteen, his awesome blog and his awesome skills make this roundup just [...]
Game Table
Wednesday, April 7th, 2010Ah, the iPad. We’re expecting it to replace magazines, books, our laptops — at least some of the time — and… board games? Yup, Game Table ($1) aims to do exactly that, offering realistic checkers, chess, and card games. All the action is controlled by you and a friend with intuitive touch controls, while the [...]

THE Phone to HAVE: HTC Evo 4G
Sunday, March 28th, 2010Huge-ass screen? Check. Point-and-shoot beating camera? Check. The first Android smartphone to run on a 4G network: priceless?

Casio G’zOne Brigade
Saturday, March 27th, 2010Normally rugged phones offer few, if any, Internet-connected features — apart from the chirps of Nextel push-to-talk conversations that serve as sonic litter on most construction sites, they’re typically just a few steps beyond the StarTacs of old. Not so with the Casio G’zOne Brigade ($250). This water- and shock-resistant handset offers a flip-open design [...]
PlayStation Move
Saturday, March 27th, 2010Move over, Wii. The PlayStation Move ($TBA) is bringing motion-based gaming to the PS3, in full 1080p glory. The system will use a main motion controller, a “sub-controller,” like a more advanced version of the Wii’s nunchuk, and the Playstation Eye camera to offer precise detection of movement, angle, and absolute position in 3D space, [...]

Samsung TL500
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010Perhaps designed to be a Canon S90 killer, the Samsung TL500 ($450) is the latest point-and-shoot to adopt several DSLR-level features. Among these are a 24mm, 3x optical zoom, f/1.8 Schneider lens, Aperture priority, Shutter priority, and Manual shooting modes, dual image stabilization, RAW support, a 10 megapixel, 1/1.7-inch CCD, and a front control wheel. [...]
Puma Phone
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010We’ll be the first to admit that Nike would have been the first shoe company we’d expect to launch its own handset, but that doesn’t make the Puma Phone ($TBA) any less cool. Designed by Puma and Sagem Wireless, the Puma Phone is an “active smartphone,” offering the expected features — like mobile Internet, messaging, [...]
