More BlackBerry 8830 details
Just when we're down in the dumps about our 'Berry, here's some good news that should brighten up the day. New intel suggests that Verizon is planning to release the BlackBerry 8830 (aka Cyclone) on May 14 for the business channel and May 29 for consumers. A couple other bits of information as well: there's support for microSD cards up to the standard 2GB, and the media player supposedly supports -- get this -- iTunes music. Check out an additional pic (fuzzy, but helpful, we promise) after the break.[Thanks, HTC Kid]
The DS gets its first promotional sewing machine
Oshare Majo Love and Berry, the arcade-game-interfacing, rhythm-actioning, dressing-up smash from Sega, is popular enough to support even the most tenuous promotional items, as evidenced by the Janome sewing machine seen above. When Japanese gamers buy Love and Berry DS Collection stuff, they'll receive postcards they can send in for a chance to win this Love and Berry DS Collection sewing machine, as well as a Love and Berry DS Collection jewelry box. Oddly enough, this is not the first time the worlds of Nintendo handhelds and sewing machines have collided.No matter what you think of it now, we guarantee you'll be pining for one of these machines when it goes up on eBay in five years. Or are we the only ones like that?
Sega's feminine e-reader
Sega has decided that they want to go ahead and make an e-Reader for the DS. This e-Reader, which takes cards and electronically scans them via a hardware attachment to affect gameplay, works with their game Oshare Majo Love and Berry (Love and Berry Dress up and Dance in the US). The awkward thing is, you get the cards to go with the game from the arcade, which are used in the DS game to dress up your character with new outfits and hairstyles.
