Keepon dancing robot going commercial {Engadget}
Oct 2nd 2008 3:42PM I think you misunderstand what Keepon was actually developed for.
DS upgrade has camera, music player, says Nikkei Net {Joystiq}
Sep 28th 2008 2:15PM There's talk or rumours about a DS upgrade or new handheld every other week.
Of of -course- there's going to be an upgraded DS (or a new handheld to replace it) at some point. You can guarantee that. Speculating on it really is a waste of time until word comes from Nintendo itself.
21.1 megapixel Canon EOS 5D Mark II with Full-Frame, Full-HD video {Engadget}
Sep 17th 2008 4:04AM Nnnnnnope.
I think you're getting confused with 1080i being 60 -fields- per second, and 1080p being 30 -frames- per second. At least in NTSC land anyway.
Microsoft officially slashes Xbox 360 prices in Europe {Engadget}
Sep 16th 2008 4:41AM Not being able to guarantee that the platform you're developing for has any form of storage at all, save for a paltry few megs on a memory card, has I'm sure affected many developers. That is a fairly big resource they can now not rely on.
I personally think 'Arcade' is a terrible name for the base SKU, as it implies the user might be using the console to purchase and download the cheaper and simpler Live Arcade titles instead of 60 bucks for a normal game, but are then hit with the fact that if they want to download more than a couple of games, they'll have to think about shelling out for a larger memory card. I get that the 'Arcade' name refers to the fact the base console is geared towards games rather than a media player, but still.
Also, I'm not going to get into a war about why people should or should not get a certain console over another. Its been done.
Microsoft officially slashes Xbox 360 prices in Europe {Engadget}
Sep 16th 2008 3:53AM As much as I hate Microsoft for bringing tiered products to the console market and having a base model with no hard drive, thereby screwing developers by not having a uniform platform to develop for, £130 is nothing to sniff at for people still on the fence or without the disposable income.
I have friends who like plenty of current-gen games but can't afford to justify buying a system who might be tempted to pick up the Arcade at least.
Gemalto embeds DVD-compliant optical disc into WIND SIM card {Engadget}
Sep 15th 2008 8:04AM I hope that a) no one tries this with a slot-loading drive, and b) they at least break off the the whole SIM-side of the disk so it's a uniform shape.
There's just so many ways this could go wrong!
