Sony Bluetooth Audio Mini
I recently picked up the Sony DR-BT21G/B Bluetooth Stereo Headset. My intentions were to use it as hands free for my cell and also to listen to music from my cell. After using it with two devices (Samsung Blackjack II and Sanyo Katayna DLX) I have come to the conclusion that the limiting factor in [...]

Wednesday, February 27, 2008
So I was in the market recently for a portable media player that I wanted to not only use for music but primarily for playing video when I was bored at the gym or traveling on a long domestic flight. After a lot of searching I eventually found a pretty nice Wikipedia page that has [...]

Monday, February 11, 2008
Laurence Hartje, staying on-top of the death of HD-DVD, sent in news that Best Buy has taken the official stance of recommending Blu-ray to customers over HD-DVD when asked about which HD format to support. We already covered all the major studios (except Universal) moving over to Blu-ray, and Netflix announcing Blu-ray only support (Blockbuster announced [...]

Monday, February 11, 2008
Laurence Hartje just sent in news that Netflix has decided to go Blu-ray as a response to the trend of other major studios doing the same. While you can still add HD-DVD movies to your queue as of this morning, I don’t know how much longer those disks will stay in circulation. My guess is that [...]

Monday, January 28, 2008
As the GTA4 marketing campaign livens up for a Q2 release of GTA4, IGN got some poop about how the shooting mechanics in GTA4 will be much more like Gears of War (with a proper cover and aiming mechanic) that gamers have come to expect from shooters (cough COD4) like Uncharted and Gears of War. That’s [...]

Ted Regulski sends in news of simply “This is why you own a PS3″ then points to the NeoGAF thread with the new released screenshots for Resistance 2 are. Given what Insomniac did with Resistance: Fall of Man, and the expertise they showed to create the best launch title for the PS3, then following that up [...]

Sunday, January 13, 2008
New York Times reports that Sony continues to lead the anti-DRM charge (did I just write that?!) and has announced that it will start offering DRM-free downloads of it music on Amazon’s MP3 service. The beauty of this decision is that Apple’s DRM-laden music from iTunes only plays on their associated iPod devices (and iPhone), [...]

Ouch, it just won’t stop. First Warner announces it’s going Blu-ray exclusive, then it is noticed that Paramount can get out if it’s HD-DVD exclusivity contract due to Warner moving and many speculate it will. Now HBO says it will go Blu-ray exclusive and apparently Universal (the last studio left under HD-DVD) has it’s exclusivity contract come [...]

Tuesday, January 8, 2008
I had never heard of XstreamHD before, but saw a quick note on EngadgetHD that the press event is scheduled to start at 11am PST today. It was then that I suddenly became painfully aware of what XstreamHD is promising to deliver… and how crazy it would be if they succeed, give it a glance: Includes [...]
