OMG, someday we'll be able to roll up our laptops like a yoga mat! This is the Rolltop, the laptop of the future. The rolltop has a flexible OLED display which is also capable of multitouch. It becomes a 17-inch flat screen when rolled out and can be folded to become a 13-inch tablet.
The detachable stand stores the Rolltop's power adapter, stylus, and USB ports.
Watch this video, it says it all about the Rolltop.
Yes, I know you want one, we all do.
The Rolltop is a pretty cool device although it is still a concept.
The Xperia Play which is also known as the PlayStation Phone has been seen all over the internet for a long time. The Xperia Play is probably the only PlayStation certified Android device, the device will be launched worldwide (I don't know when). The price isn't clear yet but it's said to be about 500 Euros or 741 dollars. The price is,well, unexpected but what do you expect a phone that can play PS games would cost?
The Xperia Play can play full PlayStation games, it has a slide out controller which makes gaming a lot more fun. Here are the things you can find on the slide out controller:
Digital D-Pad
Dual Analog Touchpads
Sony PlayStation Buttons
Two Shoulder Bumpers
Additionally the touchscreen is active.
Here are some of the specs:
1GHz Qualcomm CPU
512 MB of RAM
1GB ROM
MicroSD card slot
Touchscreen (between 3.7″ and 4.1″)
Multitouch pad on the lower half of the slider
Users can expect some 5-7 games that will come with the device including the following titles:
Crash Bandicoot
FIFA 10
The Sims 3
Tetris
Flight Control
Bruce Lee
Sony Ericsson has indeed did a good job combining the Need and the Want, making a device which has two things the people of today will need to survive which are Communication and Gaming (nah,the people of today can probably survive without these. I won't though.).
Sorry the image is so small-ish...I got so excited I didn't even edit the pic right..

Me is crying :'(....). But it's ok, the important thing is I can now play GLITCH. I hope you guys get to play soon too. For a short while you can jump the queue right here.

Glitch is a brand new MMO which is like no other, in other words, it's completely unique!The game is a project of some people who brought you Flickr, it's a product of TinySpeck. It's currently in beta (and I'm currently waiting to get the secret code in my email so I can join in the beta fun).
The game takes place in the minds of 11 giants (11 weird looking,extra terrestrial, totally awesome, cool giants). The game isn't about killing monsters or farming, it's about building, developing and growing. You can do favors, learn new skills, you can even make smoothies! As what Glitch's description said "You choose how to grow and shape the world: building and developing, learning new skills, collaborating or competing with everyone else in one enormous, ever-changing, persistent world.".Every player's actions have the ability to affect the other players in the game, which means every player contributes to the world of Glitch.
Aren't they cute :)
The characters look interesting and unique just like the game. And, as what I've read, there will be a wide variety of outfits and other stuff you can buy in the game, there will also be premium accounts available by subscription. The game is totally free to play, but if you want a premium account you'll have to pay some real cash, there are also some items in the game which you can only buy using real money. And, the game has eggplants, eggplants make it different...and cool.
I haven't really played the game yet so that's probably all I can tell you for now. You can sign up to play the game early on Glitch's official website here.
Wow, the people at TinySpeck sure know how to make a cool trailer.......
♪ Doh.doh.doh.doh.GLITCH! For a really long time, eleven giants walked around.They thought of...♪
Sony has unveiled it's latest handheld device which was formally known as the PSP 2 but is actually named NGP or Next Generation Portable (cool name huh). The NGP will feature a 5 inch OLED screen, capacitive multitouch, a rear multitouch surface, 3G, PlayStation Suite support, motion control, a quad-core CPU, a quad-core GPU, and 2 full control sticks. The NGP will also be capable of playing full PS3 games. The device has three motion sensors, an electronic compass, an accelerometer, GPS, and a gyroscope. It has rear and front facing cameras ( I don't really know the strength of these cameras). The system has the standard D-Pad, four face buttons (shapes), L and R shoulder buttons, Start, Select, a PlayStation button, a power button up top, and a volume toggle.
Like the PSP Go, there is no UMD drive on the device, or any form of disc drive, for that matter. Older PSP games will be available for download on the official PlayStation Store and stored on the device via a new proprietary flash card designed for NGP games.Sony also unveiled a new feature called LiveArea, which will be included in every NGP game. It’s basically a PlayStation Home / Xbox Live type feature, allowing players to communicate with one another and share their accomplishments and activities with everyone on the PlayStation Network.NGP will also be compatible with PS Suite, which is a new Android platform the company is launching.
Sony hasn’t revealed any info on battery life and pricing, but based on some articles I've read the device would last about 4-5 hours before you need to recharge it. As for the price, the NGP would probably cost around $250-$500.
Here's a video about the NGP's full specs and a tech demo.
It's the Nintendo 3DS!! Nintendo has recently released the 3DS last month, it's the latest addition to the DS family. So, what makes the 3DS so great? The answer is in the console's name itself, it projects 3D graphics! And the best part is.......you don't need glasses to be able to view the 3D images!!!! The 3DS is a part of the DS family, and it has a lot of similarities to the older DS consoles but, there are some changes and new features added to it.
The upper screen has a stereoscopic 3D display which gives a touch of reality to the games and makes gaming a lot more fun and exciting than ever before. Imagine playing Mario World, you're trying to save Princess Peach and all of a sudden...Bowser jumps out right in front of you!Yeah, that would be so cool!
Like the DSi, the 3DS also has a camera but,unlike the DSi, the 3DS not only has one,not two, but three. There's one inner camera which is used for creating Miis and for face recognition in some games, and two outer cameras which are used to take 3D pictures; the outer cameras are also used for AR games. The Circle Pad which is right above the + Control Pad makes it much easier to move around in games than pressing some buttons (no offense + Control Pad).
An Adjustable Stylus which has taken the place of the former stylus(which can't extend longer.hm..maybe that's why it's been replaced). A stylus which can extend longer or become shorter is helpful(in some ways) but I still like the old ones better. Why? Because they're so cute and colorful :)
Even with the 3D effect and new features, the 3DS still has some downsides. The 3DS is actually bulkier than the previous DS consoles so it's not really a good idea to put it in your pocket cause if you do then you might just harm either the device or yourself. But if you're wearing something a little baggy or not really that skinny(like skinny jeans) then it's probably fine to put the 3DS in your pocket. The battery life is very short, 3-5 hours depending on use. The camera has low resolution, not really any different from the DSi. Also, if you're a player that moves around alot while playing, you'll probably give yourself a headache viewing the 3D graphics...that's where the 3D Depth Slides comes along. You can use the 3D Depth Slider to control the intensity of the 3D effects. The system also recommends that you rest your eyes for 10 minutes for every 30 minutes of gameplay, a tip you should follow, just to avoid headaches and damaging of your eyes. You can buy the Nintendo 3DS on Nintendo's website here for $250. Here's a video of the 3DS
