35 Tetris-like games pulled out of Android Market
Posted by Ade as Games
Tetris would probably be the one game that got most of us addicted to gaming. Count me as one of the people who spent hours playing Tetris, cursing silently under my breath as I painfully waited for that one brick that can get rid of the five lines I've already accumulated. Since this game is one of the most iconic games of all time, it's no surprise that there are imitators abound.
But thanks to The Tetris Company, LLC (the company that apparently holds the rights to the game) 35 clones of the game have been pulled out of the Android Market. Okay, I understand that they are just trying to protect ...

BOSS DS-1 Distortion Pedal Mouse
Posted by Ade as Cool Stuff
Now one major factor I'm looking for when shopping for a mouse would be ergonomics. This is probably a no-brainer to you guys. We all don't want to end up eventually with RSI or Carpal Tunnel syndrome. Mice that are shaped in a way that will hurt in the long run tends to be shunned, for good measure.
So how come I want Boss's DS-1 distortion pedal mouse so badly? I mean, just look at it. Grab a huge rectangular box (or if you have a guitar pedal lying around), and just use it like it's an actual mouse. It's a pain, isn't it? And judging from the fact that the DS-1 ...

So over at the recently-concluded Google I/O conference, Google unveiled Android 2.2, or Froyo, to the world. Now with people eagerly waiting for iPhone OS 4.0, Android 2.2 amazingly showed that Google can beat Apple, and if Google manages to get the products they announced out (oh my lord I want me some Google TV), there is a huge possibility that Apple may play catch-up soon.
Okay, so Android 2.2, called Froyo, is out. What makes it stand out? What features are going to make people dump their iPhones and go for Android handsets? Here are the top new features of Google's smartphone operating system, taken from ZDNet:
- Improved security with ...

Rumor: PSP2 to have touchscreen, two cameras, and a powerful CPU
Posted by Ade as Gaming
Confession time: I'm never really much of a PSP guy. I know, there's that vast library of top-notch games to consider, and the fact that six years on, the PSP still is the gadget to beat when it comes to portable gaming. Although, personally, I'm stupid enough to go for the iPod touch just for the handheld version of Street Fighter IV. Waiting - very impatiently, I might add - for the 4th generation to come out this September.
But if there are any truth to these rumors about the PSP2, I just might change my mind about the gaming console. According to VG247, PSP2 is going to have a touchscreen, two ...

Now if you'd like your old first generation iPod touch to be a bit more... open, wait a little while and you can run Google's Android operating system on it.
Now the person who ported Android for the iPhone 2G and iPhone 3G is now working to bring Android OS to the first generation iPod touch. Obviously, you can't make calls on it, but then this is an exciting project if you'd like to run an operating system other than iPod OS on your iPod touch.
It's not quite ready for primetime though. From the developer's blog:
Meanwhile, I am working on some stuff that is slightly more fun. Last night, I brought ...

If you're planning to buy the Nexus One from Google's online store so you can get it contract-free, you well, you better act fast. Google will soon stop selling their flagship Android phone online. Don't think for a moment that this move means that Google is going to drop the Nexus One. This is merely a change in strategy.
It seems that Google has realized that people don't like to buy phones without seeing them first, so they're switching strategies and are selling the Nexus One via retail outlets.
From Google's official blog, the changes to Nexus One's availability are:
More retail availability. As we make Nexus One available in more countries ...

Oooh boy, Apple's legendary secrecy standards seem to be a little bit lax lately. You'd think they'd tighten up security after Gizmodo's now-legendary iPhone leak, which resulted in a collective gasp heard round the web, along with the obligatory lawsuits and raids. you'd think Apple would take precautions to keep this from happening again.
Apparently, another iPhone has been leaked and is being scrutinized by the Vietnamese blog Taoviet. And yes, you got it right: Vietnam. How the next generation iPhone landed in the hands of those guys is beyond me. Well, except for the fact that they allegedly paid $4,000 for it.
This iPhone seems to be a similar model from the ...

Finally, Nokia's Design by Community project is almost finished. If you don't remember what the project is about, it is Nokia's push to create the “ultimate concept device,” and they utilized Nokia fans so they'd know what people want.
Now they have a mock-up of the winning phone, and if Nokia manages to create this, I am going to be excited for this. You see, Nokia fans have dictated that the winning phone should have a 10mm thin Monoblock form factor. Also, it should have a 4-inch capacitive screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio, open source operating system, unlimited multitasking, Wi-Fi 802.11 n/b/g, USB 3.0, HDMI, Dolby surround sound, and an 8MP camera with 4X optical zoom, dual LED and ...

John Benson just got his shiny new iPad 3G and he's rather excited to try it out. But the thing is, the iPad uses the rather newfangled MicroSIM and as everyone is aware of by now, those things aren't really available everywhere just yet. I failed to mention, he lives in the UK.
How to convert a SIM into a MicroSIM for iPad use
Posted by Ade as Gadgets
At this point I'd probably give up and use wifi until MicroSIMs become available where I am and rant about how much I wasted all that extra money for an iPad 3G. Good thing Mr. Benson didn't give up.
He was able to convert an ordinary Vodafone SIM card into a MicroSIM, and he did it with - you won't ...
