Star Trek and Transformers Films Released in Collectors USB Editions

by Jay Garrett on November 17, 2009

Star TrekWe like Sci-Fi don’t we? So when there’s a gadgety release of two of this years Sci-Fi hits it needs to be written about.

The two flicks in question are Star Trek and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Paramount Digital Entertainment is releasing 20,000 of each movie on a 4GB USB drive (leaving around 3GB free space) with each one getting its own identification number.

The USB’s come in fancy tins with a one-off print. If you opt for the robot and Megan Fox fun of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen you get it on a limited edition Autobot device while Star Trek fans get a limited edition Starfleet Insignia USB.

You’ll be able to play the films via the drive on any DivX certified device – if you want to play it on your favourite disc spinner then you are allowed to burn the movie onto DVD.

Priced at £17.99 each, Star Trek is available to buy now from Play.com and the Transformers USB will go on sale from 30 November.

Nokia X6 Touchscreen Music Mobile Arrives With Rhianna Concert

by Jay Garrett on November 9, 2009

Nokia X6It had been whispered that the Nokia X6 music phone would see the shelves this year but now it seems there’s a fairly fixed date.

Word comes from the official Nokia blog Nokia Conversations – apparently the touchscreen looker will be made available globally on 16 November.

This date has been planned to cunningly coincide with Rihanna-ah-ah-eh-eh’s live concert that happens to be streamed online at Nokia.com on that very date.

The X6 seems to be positioned as Nokia’s flagship music handheld and is Nokia’s fifth proper touch phone.

It packs 36GB of memory out the box (32GB internal, 4GB on a microSD card), runs on the S60 5th edition OS and, for me, is probably one of the nicest looking Noks for a long time.

Look at it. Go on! Those chiseled lines and that lovely chrome rim.

The new 3.2 inch capacitive screen, the first on a touchscreen phone from Nokia, seems better than previous resistive options from Nokia.

The camera is another from Carl Zeiss and is a 5MP sensor hooked-up with a dual LED flash – oddly it doesn’t have a protective cover so keep in a separate pocket to your change and keys.

So – preorder now from the likes of Play.com or hang-on til the 16th :)
