T3 Motion rolls out three-wheeled security vehicle

While it's not exactly the most imposing of vehicles, the folks at T3 Motion nonetheless hope this new three-wheeled wonder of theirs will catch on with police forces and other security-minded folks looking for something that's at least a little more substantial than a Segway. The biggest selling point, apart from its stylin' good looks, is its zero emission status and low cost of use, with it even going so far as to use LED lighting to further reduce the drain on its two rechargeable batteries. Of course, you likely won't end up seeing one of these involved in a high-speed chase anytime soon, with it topping out at a maximum speed of 18 miles per hour. Those with less demanding needs, however, can put these into service for a mere $8,000 apiece.

Microsoft denies author's claim of impending Xbox2Go


In a denial that should come as a surprise to no one (what, like they were really gonna tip their hand this early?), Microsoft's Xbox chief for Northern and Eastern Europe told UK tech site T3 "that we're not even thinking about handhelds at the moment." Neil Thompson's remarks came just days after the Internet was buzzing about a claim made by author Dean Takahashi in his new book, Xbox 360 Uncloaked, that said half of the 360 development team immediately began working on a portable 'box right after the next-gen console was launched last November. Thompson went on to say that although the big M has no plans to release a PSP-like device, the huge mobile phone market offers the company a "really good opportunity" to connect people with "other entertainment experiences." You heard it here first, folks: instead of wasting all that money on hardware development, Microsoft is simply going to develop an Xbox emulator for cellphones that lets you pull content directly from the Live service (either that, or Thompson was just toeing the party line in order to keep the wraps on this supposed Xbox2Go -- you be the judge).

Vonage prepping VoIP solutions for DS and PSP?


Although neither device has a true VoIP option yet, UK tech site T3 is reporting that "a source close to...Vonage" (i.e. a friend of a friend of a friend) has confirmed that the VoIP provider is developing WiFi calling solutions for both the Sony PSP and Nintendo DS. We've known for awhile that both systems were capable of implementing the ol' VoIP, but other than a random blog musing we reported on last year, this is the first indication we've seen of a major player making moves in this direction. Even for a rumor, the details here are pretty thin, such as how Vonage plans to actually implement VoIP in the disparate devices -- the possibilities include a firmware update for the PSP, and either DSpeak-like software or an Opera-like cartridge for the DS -- or even a hint of when we can expect to see any products come to market. As you might expect, Vonage itself declined to comment on the matter when contacted by T3.
