iPod nano vs touch vs shuffle... fight!

September 1, 2010 - 2:56pm
Three new iPods under one roof -- how could we not throw on a table and see how they size up to one another? Obviously, the iPod touch is the black sheep here in terms of sheer physical space, but the width / height difference between nano is as marginal as you probably guessed. More pics below!

PS3 homebrew jailbreak released into the wilds

September 1, 2010 - 4:49am
Poor, poor Sony. First PSJailbreak splayed wide the PS3's security model, now PSGroove has arrived calling itself the "open source PSjailbreak." The code must first be downloaded and installed onto an $30ish AT90USBkey or a $25ish Teensy++ USB development board. At the moment, the ability to boot ISO's (read: pirated or "backup" games) is temporarily disabled. The release is intended for homebrew enthusiasts to execute unsigned third-party apps and games on the PS3. But we're sure that some of the internet's more nefarious types will find their way around that. Cat, welcome to the world outside of the bag.PS3 homebrew jailbreak released into the wilds originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 01 Sep 2010 05:42:00 EDT.

Sony's scheming a streaming music and video subscription service, too?

August 31, 2010 - 9:48pm
Perhaps you've heard that Apple's investing in digital video distribution at the moment? Perhaps you've read that Amazon's working on a subscription video network, too? Sony makes number three, as the Financial Times is reporting the electronics giant is looking to launch a multimedia platform of its own. Starting with the PlayStation 3 and later extending to internet-connected Sony TVs, Blu-ray players, Vaio computers and phones, the service will reportedly offer both music and video sometime next year, in what's no doubt an attempt to work out deep-seated guilt at the death of Connect. You won't have to wait nearly that long, however, to find out what's what -- the publication says Sir Stringer intends to preempt Apple's six-string reveal by announcing the PlayStation Network-based service from IFA 2010 in Germany. Call us crazy, but this sounds like a perfect fit for the Sony's out-of-the-blue $130 Netbox.

Palm puts webOS 2.0 SDK into limited release starting today

August 31, 2010 - 1:03pm
Palm fans, get your party hats on. Today the company is announcing the beta release of its SDK for webOS 2.0, which means we're getting dangerously close to a proper 2.0 release for devices. And who knows... maybe the phone-maker will decide to throw a new device our way to go along with the OS. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Starting tomorrow, a select (though rather wide, says Palm) group of developers will be able to start toying around with the latest and greatest SDK for the company's mobile operating system, and it looks like the new software brings some tasty morsels to the table that you're definitely going to want to chow down on. We got the scoop directly from Palm on just exactly what kind of changes you'll be seeing in the first version of 2.0, and we've rounded them up in a neatly digestible form below, so read on after the break and get the full story.Continue reading Palm puts webOS 2.0 SDK into limited release starting todayPalm puts webOS 2.0 SDK into limited release starting today originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 31 Aug 2010 14:00:00 EDT.

Microsoft shows off new controller, with transforming D-pad

August 31, 2010 - 12:39pm
The D-pad on the existing 360 controllers is, to put it mildly, utter garbage. If you want to play any games relying on precise movements, such as fighting games, buying a third-party controller is a requirement. Microsoft hopes it has this problem licked, however, and is releasing a controller with a new, updated D-pad on November 9. The catch? You won't be able to buy the controller alone; you'll need to grab the Play and Charge Kit to get it, and the final cost will be $64.99. Read the comments on this post
