I always seem to be on the road or otherwise unavailable when the more interesting iOS sales hit. So I’m hoping the deeply discounted Navigon GPS apps come around a third time, so that I may partake. But, in the interim, EA has put over 70 games on sale for 99 cents. And it just … Read more
Sony has been putting out portable PlayStation devices for a couple of years now, and it looks like the company’s next step will be a Sony Ericsson PlayStation smartphone. But while earlier devices ran a proprietary operating system, it looks like the new phone (aka ZEUS, Z1) will run Google Android 2.3 – with a … Read more
I don’t know what you did for lunch today, but I swung by Gamestop for what could be the biggest video game release ever. Against my better judgement, I’d pre-ordered Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Silly me, I had assumed Blockbuster’s 12/28/2010 ship date for Halo Reach was merely a typo. As it turns out, their mail-order rental service imposes a 105 day waiting period on new release games. Which means I’m Halo-less this week (thus far). It also means that Blockbuster’s recently enhanced rental service ($9/mo) won’t work for … Read more
I’m still trawling the FCC’s database for something, as I was last week when uncovering Kodak’s new WiFi photo frame, and seemed to have turned up another interesting new product. The forthcoming Griffin PartyDock essentially turns an iPhone into a Nintendo… with the help of a television. And when I say Nintendo, we’re talking Super … Read more
