Keyport review

Last Updated on Tuesday, 17 August 2010 03:44 Written by Chris Ziegler Tuesday, 17 August 2010 03:44

It’s not often that we have an opportunity to review a fascinating new way to store and use keys — plain old keys, that is, not encryption keys, electronic keys, CD keys, or Florida Keys — so when we heard that the sanely-priced version of the Keyport was finally shipping after a three-year wait , we knew that we had to have a look. It’s not too useful of a product for those of you that only have one or two locks that you need to worry about day in and day out, but anything more than that can quickly become a pain in the ass with a jangly keyring that you can’t quietly take out of your pocket to save your life. Let’s have a look at what this thing’s all about, shall we? Gallery: Keyport review Continue reading Keyport review Keyport review originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 17 Aug 2010 18:44:00 EDT.

Apple purportedly utilizing Liquidmetal alloy in SIM ejector tool

Last Updated on Tuesday, 17 August 2010 06:54 Written by Darren Murph Tuesday, 17 August 2010 06:54

Well, would you look at that. Just days after Apple made official its purchase of Liquidmetal’s IP , now the world is finding out how the two love birds are working together. Or, should we say, have been working together. According to Atakan Peker, the alloy’s co-inventor, the SIM ejector tool that ships with older iPhone units is made of Liquidmetal’s materials. To quote: “That’s my metal. I recognized it immediately. Take it from an expert, that’s Liquidmetal.” Cult of Mac has also confirmed independently that the tool is relying on the newfound acquisition (and Wired assumes the same is true on the iPad 3G), and from a supply chain standpoint, this oddity definitely makes sense. Apple’s no fan of relying on a sole supplier for anything, and given that Liquidmetal is one of a kind, it’s testing the waters on a relatively non-essential part of the puzzle. There’s still no word on how Apple plans to integrate the metal into future products, but given that the pair have apparently already been in cahoots, you can bet they’ll be able to skip right over the pleasantries and get down to what’s important.

THQ’s uDraw GameTablet is like a Wacom for Wii (video)

Last Updated on Tuesday, 17 August 2010 04:29 Written by Tim Stevens Tuesday, 17 August 2010 04:29

Art games on consoles tend to be unpopular creations, Mario Paint about the only one to even approach retail success, but maybe all they needed was a proper input method. That’s what THQ is hoping, at least, announcing the uDraw GameTablet for the Nintendo Wii . It’s a chubby, pencil-like stylus tethered to a tablet that connects wirelessly to the console thanks to the Wiimote that slots right in. The tablet comes with a drawing game called uDraw Studio , while THQ is also working on an artsy platformer called Dood’s Big Adventure and a digital version of Pictionary , which could be this thing’s killer app. (You can catch a glimpse of them all in action in the video after the break.) The tablet will cost $69.99 when it ships by the end of the year, while games will be a rather more affordable $29.99. THQ also promises more games to come through 2011, but we’re guessing their release is somewhat contingent on just how many little Picassos find these in their stockings this holiday season.

160GB PS3 slim spotted on GameStop’s website

Last Updated on Tuesday, 17 August 2010 03:09 Written by Ross Miller Tuesday, 17 August 2010 03:09

One of the following just occurred today: either a GameStop employee just spilled the beans on an upcoming Sony announcement, or someone in the retailer’s IT department has a cruel sense of humor. At any rate, IGN spotted a listing today (since removed) for a slim PlayStation 3 with 160GB of storage, purported to be shipping today for $299.99

Microsoft Kinect for Xbox 360 launching on November 10 in Europe

Last Updated on Monday, 16 August 2010 10:39 Written by Thomas Ricker Monday, 16 August 2010 10:39

While Microsoft’s new controller-free Kinect for Xbox 360 will be hitting US shores on November 4th , we’ve just learned that it’ll officially land in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa on November 10th. Sure, that’s a bit of a wait, but take heart in knowing that Microsoft’s targeting an October launch of its Xbox Live lovin’ Windows Phone 7 handsets in Europe compared to a November release in the US. Otherwise, we’re looking at the same 15 exclusive Kinect game titles already announced at E3.
