Trio of new BlackBerrys rumored for the high end
Before you get too excited, all three of these suckers seem to be variations on a theme -- all have a QWERTY keyboard, 3G, WiFi, and GPS, and are members of the 9000 series, apparently -- so we might just be looking at different carriers here, not some massive, dreamy phalanx of unique hardware all hitting within a few months of each other. The latest batch of devices said to be making the rounds in RIM's labs are apparently codenamed Onyx, Driftwood, and Magnum, and may feature the touchscreen / QWERTY hybrid concept rumored to be hitting the pictured Pluto (confused yet?). Notably, only the Driftwood will support UMA -- important for T-Mobile -- while both the Onyx and Magnum are lined up for AT&T, so this is a pretty wild situation developing north of the border here. Downmarket, it seems that the Gemini isn't just a single device but a whole series of lower-cost models in the same vein as the present-day Curve. Doesn't really matter to us what they're called -- can we just get them rolled out on the double, please? [Image via CrackBerry]
Special driftwood looks like Halo 3's Spiker
Not only do we love our driftwood, but we like it all the more when it comes in the shape of items from the Halo universe. If your memory serves you well you'll know that this past January we told you about a piece of driftwood that looked eerily similar to that of a Brute Shot. Today we bring you more driftwood, but in the shape of the new Halo 3 Spiker! We aren't going to speculate on how such a masterpiece was produced by nature, because it just isn't necessary. We all know that the ancient Forerunners buried this masterpiece on Earth so someone would find it just in time for a Halo 3 release this Fall. Though, we're still waiting on the energy sword driftwood to float down the river ... maybe this spring.[Via HBO]
What are the odds? Halo driftwood
We have a few theories about the above images. Theory one: the Halo universe really exists, and the events in the games occurred eons in the past. A Brute Shot somehow managed to escape decay by being embedded in a tree and thus encased in petrified wood. Theory two (slightly more plausible than theory one): the uppermost image is a piece of driftwood miraculously worn down to the near exact shape of a Brute Shot. Perhaps the most amazing thing of all, this particular piece of driftwood just happened to be found by someone who recognized what it looked like. We ask you, what are the odds?Anyone else care to share some 360 related found art with us?[Via HBO]
