Gravel in Pocket and C200 – the newest creations from Commodore play music and videos, not games

Chris Scott Barr, Aug 7th 2007 Discuss [0]

I really thought that Commodore was dead and buried until a few months ago. Then they come out of nowhere with some cool looking gaming PCs. Granted, they're a bit overpriced, but they do look cool. Now they're throwing us for a loop once again by working on an MP3 player. Read The Full Story

The Commodore is back

The Commodore site is up and running now, so you may want to head over and check out what they've got to offer. Don't be too surprised if the only resemblance to the Commodore of old is the name. The gaming rigs that they have look like what I would expect from any other high-end system builder would have. They do have cool “C-kins” that you can put on your PC. It's a paint job for your case, only they say that you can change your C-kin to fit your mood. They don't, however, say how you will be able to change them. They describe the C-kin as a painting process, so I hope they don't actually expect you to send in your whole PC for a new paint job. I don't see a lot of people going for that. No word yet on pricing, as the store isn't actually open for business. You can browse all you like, but the store will officially open in mid-April.

Commodore to re-enter the gaming market

My first gaming console was the original NES, but for many of you reading this, you likely had many good times with your Commodore64. Unfortunately, the 90's weren't so great to the best-selling console of the 80's and the company pretty much dropped off the radar. Read The Full Story

Re-live the days of the Commodore

I never owned a Commodore 64, nor have I to my recollection ever used one. My school was full of Apple II's, and my first computer was also an Apple. But for those of you that loved your Commodore, here's a mod that will make your day. Read The Full Story

Commodore’s Little Gravel In Pocket PMP

Vincent Nguyen, Sep 1st 2006 Discuss [2]

I’ve seen and heard a number of odd product names, but Gravel In Pocket takes the cake. Lets all say it out loud together “Gravel In Pocket,” erm isn’t that a great name or what? Ok, back to business, Commodore is expected to announce its new personal media player tomorrow at IFA, in Berlin. The company’s new personal media player features a 2.8-inch display, WiFi, and plays WMV, MP3, WAV, Xvid, and DivX files. The standard version comes with 1GB internal flash storage or get the optional 2GB model. It’s also got an SD slot for additional memory storage. Wait, there’s more Commodore goodness, the company will also launch a new site called CommodoreWorld to provide content for the Gravel In Pocket. The new site should go live no later than November.
