April Saw Lowest Monthly Sales Ever For Wii

Oh no! Nintendooo! It’s a good thing you’re announcing a new console next month, or else we’d all be worried. Only 172,000 units sold in April? That is a crying shame. I sold more units of my autobiography, Bearmaster: The First 28 Years. Maybe that price drop will help, but it’ll take more than a [...]

Editorial: Android's most wanted -- New phones with a current OS

Step into my time machine, and go back to May 20, 2010, with me.  That was the day Google released Froyo to the world with much fanfare and cheering.  I think a few little old ladies may have even cried.  In any case, we all were excited and looking forward to the day we could have some frozen yogurt for our Android phones.  Now back to today, and things still look about the same -- a year and a few days later and manufacturers are still shipping phones with Froyo, even though Gingerbread has been available since December of last year.  We're not talking about phones that languished forever and a day without getting an update, that's just as ridiculous, but best saved for another day.  This is about new phones, still being shipped and sold with a year old codebase -- and known security issues.  Hit the break and read along.

Shapeways Glazed Ceramics make 3D printed objects you can eat off of

We've seen them spit out fancy glass vases and tiny white strandbeests, and now the 3D thingy makers are pumping out cutesy salt and pepper shakers. Those hyper-glossy white rabbits pictured above are some of the first spawns of Glazed Ceramics, the newly minted food-safe material available from Shapeways. Glazed Ceramics are fired in an oven or kiln like traditional ceramics and are then coated with a lead-free non-toxic gloss -- the result is food-safe, recyclable, and heat resistant up to 1000 degrees Celsius. The new material is now available to Shapeways designers and will be until August 12th, at which point the company will decide whether its worth keeping around. For now you can sate your appetite for 3D printed shiny white dishes by clicking the source link below.

Battlefield 3 To Be EA Games? Biggest Launch

EA Games is really banking on their much anticipated war shooter, Battlefield 3, to make a dent on competitor Call of Duty’s following. The game is slated to demo at E3 2011 in June and be released this coming fall. Continue after the cut for a 12-minute game play preview.

The story of the game is set in 2014 with a conflict starting in Sarajevo and then to the borders of Iraq and beyond. Missions in the game can be played out either in single player mode or in multiplayer mode up to 64 players on PCs, and up to 24 players on consoles.

Battlefield 3 is built on EA’s brand-new game engine called Frostbite 2 developed by their in-house DICE team, bringing incredible realism to the graphics and game play.

“We know we had a big competitor, but head-to-head with Call of Duty in Q3, we have the superior game engine, superior development studio and a flat out superior game,” says EA president Frank Gibeau. “Come and see for yourself. We’ll be showing brand new code and features at E3, I encourage everyone to make time for Battlefield 3.”

Gibeau also revealed during an investment phone call that Battlefield 3 will be getting the biggest launch for any franchise in EA’s history. Although no figures on their campaign budget have been revealed, they have said that they’re dedicating an “enormous commitment of resources” to promote this game.

Which game series are you more a fan of? Call of Duty or Battlefield?

Keepin' it real fake: the 1.2GHz Dell Streak that can make phone calls and run Gingerbread

You know, knockoffs are usually meant to be downgrades from the real deal. In the case of Dell's Streak 7 tablet, its KIRF version actually has a few advantages over the real deal -- it can make phone calls, has a bigger (3000mAh) battery, comes preloaded with Android 2.3, runs at 1.2GHz, and happens to be cheaper at just under $180 unsubsidized. Of course, its 7-inch WVGA screen relies on resistive technology for touch input, it only has one core, and there's no evidence of this Gingerbread installation actually running, but are you really gonna let such trifling details stand in your way? Hit the source link to get an eyefull of this Welldone tabletphone mashup -- it might not be real, but it's definitely red!
