Microsoft Kinect Will Let You Play Sitting Down, Only When Sitting Makes Sense

Evan Selleck, Jul 7th 2010 Discuss [0]

Whether or not you own a Nintendo Wii, you've probably seen the commercials. Or know someone who owns one, and have experienced the gameplay for yourself. With that in mind, we all know that Nintendo intended for people to get off the couch and actually interact with their games on a whole "new" level. Sure, there's some commercials out there that show plenty of folks sitting on their couch, tilting their Wii remotes all over the place, but with accessories like Wii Fit and what not, we all know where Nintendo was going with this. (And subsequently, yes, Sony's Move is positioned in much the same way.) But, what about Microsoft's Kinect? Read The Full Story

Tablet manufacturer Motion Computing has outed their latest model, and while the J3500 rugged slate may not appeal to the same audience as the iPad (nor come in at quite the same price) that's not to say it's not an appealing machine in its own right. Packing a 12.1-inch WXGA touchscreen - with various types of touch support on offer - and a choice of Intel Core i5 and i7 processors, the J3500 meets military specifications for bumps, drops and other rough treatment.

Motion J3400 rugged test videos: drops, water & dust

Chris Davies, Mar 20th 2009 Discuss [0]

Any rubber-clad gadget can claim to be rugged, but it takes some preparation to put your shiny new product through MIL-STD-810F ruggedization testing. It's tough when it's a cellphone; making an entire Tablet PC stand up to the same drops, dust, water and more is quite the challenge. Still, that's what Motion did with their new J3400 rugged slate, and they've released some of the videos of the testing it endured. Videos after the cut Read The Full Story

Motion LS800 Tablet PC gets Windows 7 treatment: huge success

Chris Davies, Nov 6th 2008 Discuss [4]

Notebooks, MacBooks, netbooks, now tablets: Microsoft's new Windows 7 pre-beta has had another chance to do its thing, this time on Motion Computing's diminutive LS800 Tablet PC. GottaBeMobile dug out the 8.4-inch touchscreen slate and, paying no heed to its "CPU challenged" 1.2GHz Pentium M processor, did a fresh Windows 7 install. Considering this computer would choke with Vista, to say Windows 7 was a success is an understatement. Check out the demo video after the cut Read The Full Story
