Tron Legacy is definitely shaping up to become a hit and on the back of that will come the Tron video game tie-in which should also be out later this year.
Yup – these Tron branded Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii controllers from PDP look pretty cool huh?
The Tron Legacy controllers will cost around $50 in the states where they’ll be available this Autumn. Not sure if this is a global date or a US only one.
Who else wants some of these just because they look awesome?
This may never had entered your thoughts but with the huge oil spillage and other man-made aquatic hazards Maurizio Porfiri wants to save fish.
Instead of startling our finned friends any more than we already do he has created a very special robo fish.
Ok, so it’s not much to look at and does appear to resemble something knocked up in a shed but this fishbot is designed to naturally control wildlife.
The findroid is equipped with an electroactive polymer locomotion system that’s designed to mimic the powerful motions of fish leaders – basically this fake fish can trick schools of real ones to follow it.
Eventually a robot like this will be sent to guide the lovely gilled ones away from turbines and such nastiness.
At the moment the robot can only swim in two dimensions and is battery powered. Porfiri’s team at NYU Poly is already working to get the bionic bass powered by waves.
I was planning on a night off until I was prodded into action by this. Apple has booked the Yerba Buena Center for Arts in San Francisco for June 22 – a mere 6 days after my birthday just in case you’re wondering Any fanboy or fangirl will realise the significance of this (the venue [...]
Were you thinking that the televisual future was in the hands of OLED screens? Sony thinks not and is halting its OLED TV production in Japan and will be ending sales once its existing stock runs out. Sales will continue, however, in America and Europe. Apparently the Sony XEL-1 11in OLED TV just wasn’t popular [...]
Ah, Twitter. There’s definitely those for and those against the micro-blogging phenomenon but no matter which side you’re on chances are that you’ve uttered the ‘T’ word. So much so that you’re responsible for making Twitter the most used English word of 2009! Out of the 1.58 billion English speakers in the world, it looks [...]
First picture I saw of this little Panasonic lead me to believe that it was a neat portable LCD Television. Gah – how wrong and foolish do I feel now? What it is, in fact, is Panasonic‘s new MW-10 “multimedia audio system photo frame”. Not only will it show pictures held on either its 4GB [...]
The Christmas battle has commenced and Nintendo gaffer, Reggie Fils–Aime, has thrown of his gloves and slapped the Sony PSPgo firmly across the chops. Reggie is known for telling it like he sees it – while he was having a go at the go he also took a quick swipe at the iPod Touch. The [...]
7digital will be a known name to those who legally download tunes here in the UK. That will soon be changing – but in a good way. The Great British MP3 download site has just thrown open its doors to the US of A taking on the might of iTunes. Not only is 7digital taking [...]
There had word on the street that Microsoft had no plans bring the Zune HD to France. That has escalated to the point that the Zune wont even break the US borders! Ars Technica went direct to Redmond to find out if it’s true: “For the time being the Zune HD device will remain US [...]
I have to admit – sometimes I think I spend too much time on the puter – when I’m not on the puter I’m checking stuff on my iPhone. Am I addicted? Well, if I’m unsure, I can take the following questionnaire set up by reStart. reStart is the first internet addiction treatment center of [...]
I’ve covered next-gen comics a few times here on GadgetyNews in the form of Longbox, and Marvel’s motion comics but now here’s a follow-up to the PSP comic store news I broke in March. The new digital reader service that’ll be bouncing onto both PSP3000 and PSP Go will allow their owners to access a [...]
The Stateside mobile operator Sprint has just announced what could quite possibly be the most eco-friendly blower yet. The Samsung Reclaim is a QWERTY slider and is made from 80% recyclable materials, including bioplastics – it’s even painted green just in case you’re not convinced of its credentials! Other than the paint the green continues [...]
I have a soft spot for Panasonic cameras and now they’ve announced that it is updating its FZ28 model with a new version packing an 18x optical super zoom. The new snapper was announced on Monday and is named the DMC-FZ35 in the US and the DMC-FZ38 in the UK – slightly confusing for the [...]
You’ve got to hand it to DARPA – The brains working on tech for the Pentagon have some far-out ideas including this robotic hummingbird-based drone. Could little hummingbird spies be helping in futuristic espionage? Not just yet… Program manager Todd Hylton is aiming for “an approximately 10-gram aircraft that can hover for extended periods, can [...]
Get ready for the most touching story ever involving humans and a little robot called ‘tweenbot’. The smiley faced cardboard-bodied happy-go-lucky bot has a flag stating its intended destination but the cute lil’ fella can only move forward so it relies on the kindness of strangers to guide it and help it out of tricky [...]
It sounds like that Mitsubishi has launched a “3D-Ready” television over in the states with the claim that it’s a feature that will become more in demand as 3D content production continues to increase. Mitsu are going for a double-whammy as not only is it 3D ready, the new range of tele’s includes the largest [...]
The New Yoik Times reports that T-Mobile is planning what’s being described as an “aggressive push deep into the home” with a range of Android-based devices. This is all based on “confidential documents obtained from one of the company’s partners” and all apparently points towards an Android-based home phone and a tablet PC launching State-side during the [...]
Now this is boggling my mind! We’ve all got used to seeing our reversed selves in the mirror yeah? And although when applying eye-liner and lipstick can become a bit of an issue (apparently ) we get by just fine. Also when checking for cyclists in your wing-mirrors you don’t really care what their T-shirt [...]
Whilst we’re waiting for that 12mp camera phone from Sammy, here’s The Samsung Memoir 8MP snapper-blower. It’s been in the pipe-line for a while but it has just been shown off by T-Mobile USA – this is the States first 8mp Samsung It’s full-name is actually the Samsung t929 Memoir. The t929 Memoir is the [...]
Glenn Lurie, president of AT&T’s Emerging Devices division says that he’s loved to have a netbook with 3G. Fair enough. What makes this newsworthy in my mind is the fact that he’s gone and had a word with Apple’s current CEO, Tim Cook. Could this partnership birth a MacBook 3G or even the MacBook nano? [...]
