Screen Grabs: Mike Traceur needs to speak to his girlfriend… on her X1
Saturday, September 20th, 2008Filed under: Cellphones, Transportation
Screen grabs chronicles the uses (and misuses) of real-world gadgets in today’s movies and TV. Send in your sightings (with screen grab!) to screengrabs at engadget dt com.
Sure, Knight Rider is probably the worst show ever in the history of the moving picture, but that doesn’t stop Sony Ericsson from wanting to throw some money in its direction (or not, seeing as the company’s logo has apparently been scrubbed). Between the nearly intolerable dialogue and absurdly fake green-screen car chases, check out a glimpse of the forthcoming Xperia X1… if you can tolerate even a moment of this abomination.
[Thanks, Marco]

XPERIA X1 gets examined in-depth on video
Thursday, September 18th, 2008Filed under: Cellphones
Sony Ericsson itself showed off its XPERIA X1 handset in a webcast the other day, but if you just can’t get enough of it (and, judging from the number of comments the phone has gotten, plenty of you can’t), you may want to hit up the::unwired website, which has an even more extensive hands-on video of a pre-production unit. Among other things, it shows that switching from portrait to landscape mode takes far less time than before, and the all-important panels seem to be a good deal more responsive as well — the build being used is from early September, so it should be a reasonable indication of what the final software will be like. Hit up the link below to check out all sixteen minutes of it for yourself.

Future Xperia phones may not rely on Windows Mobile, sez SE
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008Filed under: Cellphones
We′ve known for what feels like ages that Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X1 would be based on Windows Mobile, but we wouldn′t count on the X2, X3 or X99 to just follow suit. At the launch of its digital marketing campaign for said handset, the firm made clear that future SE Xperia phones may not be based on Microsoft’s OS, with Magnus Andersson, product manager for the ͱ, noting that “the brand is not tied into any specific technical platform.” Unfortunately, he didn’t elaborate nor give any indication what other systems we could eventually see, but at least we know that there will be life after the ͱ in one form or another, right?

XPERIA X1 gets demoed in Sony Ericsson webcast
Monday, September 15th, 2008Filed under: Cellphones
Those following the XPERIA X1’s every move no doubt caught this as it happened earlier today, but for those that missed it, the Inexperia website has now posted most of Sony Ericsson’s latest webcast, in which the X1’s interface gets shown off to a far greater extent than we’ve seen previously. That includes a look at the phone’s much talked about panel system and a glimpse of its video-playing abilities, plus some expected gushing about the phone’s design, which is described as feeling like a well-tailored suit. Head on past the break for the video courtesy of Inexperia, and look for the whole thing to be available direct from Sony Ericsson on September 17th.
[Thanks, Reginald]

Sony Ericsson goes viral with Xperia X1 marketing
Thursday, September 11th, 2008Filed under: Cellphones
Sony Ericsson is taking the viral route on marketing with its forthcoming Xperia X1, launching a new “alternative reality thriller” centered around a mysterious character named Johnny X. There’s not much meat in the video the company is desperately trying to sneak into your daily YouTube diet, but at least we get to see action-packed chases, Memento-stealing plot points of the highest order, and one weird, seemingly backmasked utterance of “Johneeeeeeeeeee… X!” Hit the read link for the full clip, and check out another video after the break which helps to unravel the mystery.

Belkin JoyPod render surfaces: your App Store gaming controller
Sunday, August 31st, 2008Filed under: Cellphones, Gaming, Peripherals
For better or worse, it looks like the so-called iControlPad is edging closer to reality — or at least something really similar. According to a new image (and our limited Spanish translation skills), Belkin is actually looking to produce an App Store gaming controller, though we’re still not entirely convinced that what we’re seeing is legitimate. Whatever the case, the JoyPod would somehow, someway provide users who purchased Super Monkey Ball to play it using a bona fide game pad, though we can’t figure out if the iPod touch / iPhone slips in behind the controller or if it just morphs to fit the JoyPod’s space constraints. Guess we’ll see (or not) soon enough.

Super Nintendo controller table signals a trend
Saturday, August 30th, 2008Filed under: Gaming, Peripherals
Remember that fad where everyone had dining room tables of their favorite Disney character? Or the age in the 70s where tables were shaped like lava lamps? No? At any rate, the modders over at SCAD Inc. have spent all summer crafting a fully-functional Super Nintendo controller-table, which reminds us an awful lot of the fully-functional NES controller-table we saw in May of this year. So, which geek is gonna take on the N64 controller table? Or better yet, the Virtual Boy?

Stix 200 Wiimote wannabe reviewed: it’s just as awful as we imagined
Saturday, August 30th, 2008Filed under: Gaming, Peripherals
Be honest here, GoLivϴ’s Stix didn’t stand a chance at being taken seriously, and even when one reviewer attempted to have fun with the unashamed Wiimote knockoff, he failed epically. The Stix 200 looks strikingly like Nintendo’s accelerometer-packin’ controller, though this 2D-only rip was seen as “a set of slightly unresponsive, highly inconvenient arrow keys″ rather than an exciting new controller. The PC games that can be played with the device are equally dreadful, and while the 3D-capable Stix 400 might be able to make up for some of the 200’s shortcomings, we can’t wholeheartedly say it’s even worth the effort to check out after reading this review.
[Thanks, Robert]

Nyko’s Wing Wii controller floats into your waiting hands
Friday, August 29th, 2008Filed under: Gaming
Love your Wii but tiring of your standard control options? Looking for something that involves less arm swinging, feels a little bit more like an Xbox or PS3 experience, and loses that Classic Controller cable? Well the folks from Nyko are here for you, and they want to hold you all night long… and they brought the Wing. What’s the Wing you ask? It’s essentially a standard gamepad on highly concentrated crack-cocaine. The wireless controller features two analog sticks and a plethora of buttons (both up front and around the back), and can run for around 30 hours on a pair of AAA batteries. No word on price or release date, but if you notice a sudden crime wave and rash of unexplained fires, the Wing is probably out.

Samba De Amigo Wii Maracas get priced and dated
Friday, August 22nd, 2008Filed under: Gaming, Peripherals
Samba de Amigo is barreling towards the Wii, and we all understand that it’ll be a lot less exciting without the Wii Maracas. Thanks to Amazon’s quick trigger finger, we now know that Sega’s Wiimote accessories will go for $14.99 per pair, and if all goes to plan, they’ll be shipping out on September 23rd. Of course, we’d suggest you pocket that and just craft your own wildly colored (and slightly gourd-shaped) Wiimote covers, but we understand not everyone was blessed with those DIY genes.
