Sony Vaio W Billabong edition surfing to US shores

Last week we heard that Sony was launching a special edition Vaio W netbook with a Billabong design. Billabong is an Australian company that designs gear for surfers and skateboarders, and last I’d heard the netbook would only be available in Australia. But it turns out Sony has decided to offer the distinctive looking mini-laptop [...]

PlayStation 3’s first 3D title updates coming June 10th to Japan

Good news / bad news, folks. First with the smiles: PlayStation 3’s first 3D-enabling updates are due out on June 10th for downloadable titles Super Stardust HD, WipEout HD, and Pain. The first two games get the added dimension for gratis, but Pain lovers (who should be accustomed by now to its abundant premium add-ons) will need to fork over ¥300 (approximately $3.28) for the benefit. The other stickler is that these updates are so far only announced for Japan — and by merit of a Bravia promotion, Europe as well. So what’s a North American gamer with a penchant for wearing special glasses to do? Keep waiting, true believers.

Enso zenPad unboxing and hands-on: one disappointment after another

For the price, there’s nothing truly terrible about the SMiT MID-560A touchscreen tablet. If you’ve never held an Android device, you might even be pleasantly surprised with the functionality on offer. But if you have — or if you bought yours from a company called Enso and became embroiled in a vaporware scandal as a result — the zenPad is quite the letdown. Hear why after the break.

Mobiputing on the radio (or err… podcast)

While the Computex trade show in Taiwan is at the center of the mobile tech world this week, Google has kind of dominated the headlines for the past few weeks with announcements about Android 2.2 Froyo, Google TV, and other tech. This week I spoke with Saul Kropman of the Digital Edge podcast to discuss [...]

Commodore USA unveiling Eee Keyboard rival?

We’re not sure where things stand as far as Barry Altman’s rights to the Commodore name, but a little red tape isn’t going to stop this Commodore fanatic (and all-around good guy) from moving onwards and upwards with his Commodore USA venture. Recently, a photo of a keyboard PC with resistive touchscreen popped up on the company’s website, labeled Commodore Invictus. Details are scant, but a certain “BigBentheAussie” over at the amigaworld.net forums is really excited by the thing. Apparently, this Eee Keyboard-doppleganger sports an Intel Atom processor, wireless HDMI, NVIDIA ION chipset, and five hours of battery life — in addition to the aforementioned touchscreen display. Currently there is no price, street date, or detailed spec sheet available, but we’re sure that all will be revealed in due time.
