Super Mario All-Stars Landing on Wii This Coming December
October 8, 2010 by 3 Comments
The little Italian plumber (why he was Italian, I still haven’t the faintest idea) must be one of the most famous video game characters ever, if not, THE most.
I remember playing Super Mario Bros. for the first time on my Nintendo Game Boy in not so glorious black and white (actually rather different shades of green) when I was about 12 years old. Then when I finally had the cash (acquired from paper route money) I got my little hands on a Super NES and stuck in my copy of Super Mario All-Stars for the first time which contained the most quintessential games ever to grace any console, they being, Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, and Super Mario Bros 3. It was FANTASTIC. [Read more…]

Next webOS Device Could get a 1GHz CPU
October 7, 2010 by Leave a Comment
The next generation webOS device could include a 1GHz processor. This isn’t really interesting for those running the latest generation Android and other various smartphones as 1GHz has been around a while now.
However, those running a Palm Pre Plus and the likes, are currently stuck at 600Mhz which makes a 1GHz jump a nice step for those owners.
Not much is known about the next generation webOS based device. What we do know is that HP will of course make it, and it will run webOS 2.0 from what we understand. We have heard that it is code-named Palm Mansion. [Read more…]

The Sharp IS03 ASV display was only just announced in the last few days. An interesting bit of information reveals that it has a resolution that matches that of the iPhone 4 retina display. The resolution is 960 x 480 pixels. The iPhone 4 screen is slightly different in that it runs with IPS technology.
Engadget put up a side by side comparison to show what the screens look like whilst sat next to each other. No discernible difference was noticed from what they say with each screen being bright and crisp and viewable from various angles. [Read more…]

Next week, Sony will announce the details of its new Google TV. The event will be held in New York on October 12.
Rather than waiting till then, perhaps you might want to take a look at some of the details that have already leaked. Some details were found by Sony Insider that reveal we could be seeing several Google TVs which include a 24 inch, 32 inch, 40 inch and 46 inch variant. Model numbers will be the NSX-24GT1, NSX-32GT1, NSX-40GT1 and the NSX-46GT1. The numbering shows that the TVs are in the same range with perhaps only size being the only difference unless the 24 and perhaps 32 inch models do not get full HD at 1080p. [Read more…]
