Digital Works' ReZap recharges disposable batteries, coming to North America in May
We don't know what charlatanism is afoot here, but word is that Australian company Digital Works has come up with a way to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. We'd usually scoff at such blasphemy, but the tech has been convincing enough to at least get PC Treasures (who?) to distribute the ReZap Battery Engineer on the North American continent. This little do-it-all device will juice up rechargeable and standard batteries alike -- allowing up to 10 recharges for the latter type -- and is also capable of electrifying up to four cells of varying sizes at the same time. You can expect the ReZap to arrive in May with an SRP of $59.95, which we'd consider cheap if it does everything it promises, or extortionate in the somewhat more likely event that it doesn't. Full PR after the break.
Two great "toys" that might play well together ... maybe
Developer Digital Works, announced that eventually, sometime, they were going to make some sort of game-thing for the DS based on the Rubik's Cube. And lo did the speculation begin across the interwebs, with discussion of timed WiFi modes and minigames. And why? Because the above is pretty much all they said. Will it be just a cube? Will it include Rubik's Revenge? And the biggest question of all -- what is the point when there are a few collecting dust in a box somewhere in the garage?Sure, we can understand the seeming logic of putting what was once the world's biggest "toy" on the current biggest "toy." We can even visualize how this could work. There could actually be a game. But a full-fledged DS game, for which we must shell out far, far too much of our slave labor earnings? Seems a bit of a stretch. They'd better start innovating, and fast.
