Nyko has been working at building a better Wiimote, and the result of that effort is on display at CES. The Wand, as it’s called, offers a feature that Nintendo’s own Wii remote fails to deliver – force feedback and Wiimote button control through attachments.
OQO’s UMPCs have always been tempting devices thanks to their compact size and impressive build-quality, but the company can now add performance to their list of abilities. The OQO Model 2+ marks a shift for the company to Intel’s Atom range of mobile processors, in this case the 1.86GHz Z540, paired with 2GB of RAM and either a 120GB HDD or 60GB SSD. Most impressive, perhaps, is the new OLED touchscreen – in fact the Model 2+ is the first such mobile computing device to have one – which, with the Atom chipset’s hardware video decoding, produces some incredible picture quality.
Nokia announced today that the E63 will be making it’s way to our shores sometime within the next few weeks. The E63 is a messaging device with a QWERTY keyboard and full HTML browser.
If you’ve been itching to buy an Android-powered device but don’t want to change wireless providers, you’re in luck – sort of. A prototype touchscreen device called the Giinii Movit Mini has shown up at CES, and the folks at Gizmodo got to play with it.
Sony has announced the W and X-series of Walkman MP3 players, in the shape of the NWZ-W202 2GB and the NWZ-X1051 16GB and NWZ-X1061 32GB. The former has an active headphone system with jog dial control and ZAPPIN song search, while the latter players each have a 3-inch OLED touchscreen running at WQVGA resolution. They have integrated WiFi and can wirelessly access YouTube and download podcasts while mobile.
It seems that Panasonic is working hard to keep your home theater setup as neat as possible. They’ve pulled the wraps off of the Z1, an HDTV that, in addition to being only 1 inch thick, employs technology to transmit an HD signal wirelessly. No HDMI cable needed.
SlashGear had the opportunity to play with the Motorola A3100’s user interface today and must say we are pleasantly surprised. There are many widgets laid out in a wheel that can be scrolled left or right a lot like you would when using a mobile phone with TouchFLO 3D.
Today at CES we got the chance to play around with the new social networking based INQ1 handset. This phone takes all of your social networking fronts such as Facebook, Skype, Windows Live Messenger and MySpace and fully integrates them with the phone so there is no need to download a single application.
If you’re looking to experience true 3D gaming, look no further than the NVIDIA GeForce 3D Vision. You’ll feel like you’re really in the game, and the biggest plus – the glasses aren’t hideous. I’m willing to bet Kanye West would gladly sport those babies.
Shortly after officially announcing the new VAIO P, Sony spent some time demonstrating the brand new ultraportable to SlashGear. In our video demo, here are all the details missing from the sparse press release: ports, memory card slots, everything you want to know about VAIO P connectivity.
