iPad Emulator for iPhone for Those That Can’t Wait a Few Months

by Jay Garrett on February 1, 2010

Hey Apple Fanpeople!

Have you already decided which model iPad you’re going to get?

Made the decision whether or not to add £130 to the price and get it with 3G?

Can’t wait for that shot of new, shiny Geekahol?

Well, you’ve probably got an iPhone right?

If it happens to be a jailbroken handset then you can make your JesusPhone look like the new Apple tablet thanks to this workaround that uses apps from the App Store and Cydia.

Just follow the video’s instructions and you can have that iPad look and feel, an iBooks-esque app, New York Times reader and the Kindle book catalogue all before the iPad hits the streets!

Watch and learn my gadgety faithful :)

Sony’s New PlayStation 3 Motion Controller Called ‘Gem’ – Perhaps Definitely / Maybe

by Jay Garrett on December 12, 2009

Sony GemEA’s CEO,John Riccitiello, accidentally let slip that Sony has been referring to the motion-sensing accessory as the “Gem” at a media conference in New York. Ooopsy!

During his speech Riccitiello said: “Natal [Microsoft's motion sensing game solution] and Gem, these are likely to bring new consumers into the marketplace”.

Sony Computer Entertainment of America director of comms has since told gaming blog Kotaku “We haven’t announced a final name at this point” and that “Gem” was in fact “an early code name for the product”.

Sony flashed the magic-wand motion controller at E3 and it works with the PlayStation Eye camera and claims to offer image recognition, depth detection, and gyros for a more interactive gaming experience.

Whether or not it keeps that name, the Gem system is due to be available Spring 2010 – launch details are still a being kept super-secret…. perhaps another slip soon? ;)
