Ah, Minority Report; whether or not you love the film itself, it's been incredibly useful as shorthand to instantly encapsulate an eye-catching multitouch environment. Microsoft's display at CeBIT 2011 earlier this month certainly delivered on that: interactive presentation specialist Stereolize put together a whopping 234-inch touch-sensitive display for the company to use.

Nokia Pure revamps typography for a more modern Symbian [Video]
Nokia has unveiled its new typeface and branding strategy, dumping the old Nokia Sans font and adopting the new Nokia Pure both in their publicity material and on handsets. Designed to be "unfussy and modern, without being cold and machine-like," Nokia Pure also has the benefit of being usable at smaller point-sizes while still being legible.

Samsung Galaxy S II with TouchWiz 4.0 gets hands-on walkthrough [Video]

iPad 2 Compact Flash card reader ideal for mobile videographers [Video]
As we discovered in our review of the iPad 2, the new iMovie for iPad app turns the iOS slate into quite the portable video editing studio (you can see a demo of quite how easy it is after the cut). Apple's official Camera Connector Kit will get you going with SD memory cards, but until now if you recorded to CompactFlash you were out of luck. That's all changed, however, with the new M.I.C. CF connector kit.

Nintendo 3DS Review
Nintendo has a reputation for kooky, eccentric products, and on that front the 3DS is no different. Upgrading the now-familiar clamshell console with a glasses-free 3D display, it promises a new breed of games, impromptu social gaming with StreetPass, and the instant allure of 3D photography and Augmented Reality. Still, while Nintendo has been busy getting its freak on, the mobile gaming market has become a whole lot more serious. Just about every gadget that wants a place in your pocket – your cellphone and PMP included – wants to take care of your gaming needs as well, and so the 3DS has more competition than ever before. Can the console deliver, or do its eccentricities count it out? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
HTC Incredible S Review
The first of HTC’s new range from Mobile World Congress last month, and tracing a direct line back to a handset almost 12 months old, the HTC Incredible S should on paper leave us cold. Packing neither the huge screen of the Touch HD, nor running the latest OS like the imminent Desire S, it’s a single-core phone in what’s fast shaping up to be a dual-core world. Thing is, underdog devices have a habit of surprising you, and the Incredible S is no different. Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
Duke Nukem Forever delayed. Again. [Video]
If you're responsible for one of the most delayed games of all time, and you have to announce yet another hiccup in the roadmap, you may as well try to make people laugh when you break the bad news. Gearbox Software has admitted that Duke Nukem Forever will take a little longer to arrive (again), with the release pushed back from May 3 to June 10 at the earliest, and they've used a tongue-in-cheek video to announce it.

TEROOS shoulder robot sneers at your taste in clothes [Video]
Life-streaming cameras aren't new, but seldom do they have eyelids. Keio University's TEROOS prototype does, however; the shoulder-mounted webcam is in fact a telecommunication avatar, controlled by a remote viewer with not only six axis of movement to play with but a set of eyes that can show different expressions.

EchoStar SlingLoaded HDS-600RS hands-on [Video]
How smart can a set-top box get? If EchoStar are behind it then the answer is pretty darn smart indeed; the company’s new DVR, the EchoStar SlingLoaded HDS-600RS, pulls together not only live TV recording and time-shifting but media shifting using Slingbox technology.
