Barnes & Noble eReader app for Apple iPad
March 11, 2010
Barnes & Noble has made it known that they will be releasing their version of the eReader app for the Apple iPad sometime near the device's launch, but apart from that, they have remained mum on the other details. We do know that the app will be free though, as it offers you access to all of the books, magazines and newspapers available in Barnes & Noble's eBookstore. Does that mean we could cross our fingers for a Kindle app as well?

Seven45 Studios SixString guitar gaming controller
March 9, 2010
Seven45 Studios unveiled their amazing looking SixString guitar controller for the gaming showpiece known as ability Gig: Rise of the SixString, where it is an actual electric guitar that can be plugged into an amp. Both the game and guitar will be sold together, where folks with more experienced fingers will be able to benefit from the action of chording, as that is a whole lot more challenging since it requires specific finger placement on the strings. Both the Xbox 360 and PS3 platforms will sport that game, and while pricing details have not been fleshed out for its fall release, we do know it will cost a fair bit considering the type of hardware it comes with.

Multi-touch iTable Makes For An Interesting Coffee Table
March 6, 2010
Sooner or later, we’re all going to end up with interactive multi-touch coffee tables in our living rooms, but until they become so commonplace that nobody bothers about them anymore, we’re going to keep reporting on the occasions that such devices surface. The iTable certainly won’t get any blessings from Apple with regards to its name, but aside from that, it’s really a cool computer that can recognize up to 32 fingers on its 42-inch full HD LED screen, allowing multiple folks to interact with it at the same moment. It boasts PQ Labs’ True Multi-Touch technology, which should prepare the experience of using the iTable pleasant. Another fundamental feature of the iTable is that it can recognize nearly any object that’s interacting with it, be it a stylus, pen, glove, bottle, or cups, and that certainly opens up more possibilities for it. Are you looking forward to having something like that in your living room?

Rii Mini Wireless Keyboard
March 5, 2010
Our friends by at Brando have come up with the Rii Mini Wireless Keyboard, and you can tell that that is really, really mini by the image above. After all, it fits right into the palm of your own hand, but you won't get the whole works here - only 69 keys are available for your fingers to fondle. Ideal for travelers, that keyboard comes with a backlight for you to finish up your work in bed while your partner is sleeping without lost a letter. It works wirelessly via the 2.4GHz radio frequency, and comes with a laser pointer to boot.

Samsung Debuts U.S Netbooks
March 5, 2010
Samsung N210 gallery, Samsung NB30 gallery
Well, sorta. Samsung’s budget lappies have actually been on sale for a few weeks already, but they had a formal coming-out party (along with the high-end 80 series of laptops) that evening at the Samsung Experience gallery in Manhattan.
For tight budgets, the N210 (at left in the image above) offers most of what you need. The spacious keyboard, with separated, square keys, is a good low-cost approximation of the lovely Apple MacBook pro board that I just typed that on. The keys have a solid feel, resolute visit, plenty of up-and-down travel, and generous spaces amidst them to minimize errant fingers from all-thumbs typists like yours truly. The tiny touchpad is standard-issue netbook, however, requiring tight navigation for big fingers; and the mouse buttons are cheap-feeling clickers.

LG GD910 watch phone redesigned
March 3, 2010
LG's GD910 watch phone caused quite a stir when it was first revealed to the masses, but that instance round someone spotted a subtly redesigned version of the £500 timepiece, where it comes with a wee bit more curves alongside a new logo placement that is on top instead of being at the bottom of the display. No concept on whether the changes were just cosmetic or there is more than meets the eye, although we do keep our fingers crossed that it is the latter.

Verizon Wireless nationwide BlackBerry outage
March 3, 2010
Looks like Verizon Wireless is the latest mobile carrier to suffer from an outage - that moment with their slew of BlackBerry devices, and it is a rather huge issue since that outage is of seemingly nationwide proportions, although there are still folks in various pockets of civilization Stateside that can still retrieve and send their newsletter by BlackBerry. Verizon does not know when the situation will be corrected, so the only thing you can do now is keep your fingers crossed that all will be fixed shortly. In the meantime, the world still goes on even though you receive your newsletter a fraction slower than push by your Gmail history.
