Virgin Mobile UK offers Windows Live Messenger for free

Virgin Mobile, the largest MVNO in the UK, announced that it now offers Windows Live Messenger for free on select handsets.

The free-of-charge offering is available for both of Virgin’s new and existing customers, but only for the first six months of service use. After this period, you’ll have to pay a monthly fee – Virgin said it will be a competitive one.

For the moment, only four of Virgin Mobile UK’s phones are sold with Windows Live Messenger pre-installed: Sony Ericsson W910i, Samsung U600, Samsung G600 and Nokia 6300.

Starting 2009, other Virgin handsets will come with the Live Messenger out of the box, but there’s no word yet on which these are. In any case, the free use of Microsoft’s IM client is surely good news for UK users who rely on their phones to chat with friends or family.

wireless keypad brings literacy to your ps3

Just in case you haven’t spent enough money on your PS3, there’s a hot new attachment, just in time for the holidays: a wireless keypad add-on designed to make communicating simple.

At $49.99, the add-on may seem a little expensive, particularly when most gamers gravitate toward voice-communication in online gaming, but sometimes a little typing is necessary. The keypad can also be used with the PS3’s web browser, which is where it’s likely to be most helpful. Unlike the Xbox 360’s Chatpad, which fits into the bottom of the controller, Sony’s keypad nestles into the top.

Sony’s wireless keypad is set for release December 15 and can be pre-ordered at Amazon. If you simply can’t wait, you can get one at Play-Asia right now for $49.90. If you could afford a PS3, you might just have the cash to burn.

Minoru robot webcam for 3D video chat

Minoru robot webcam for 3D video chat Web cams have just gone all view-master on us. The Minoru looks like a super-cute Japanese robot and is designed to deliver the Internet experience in 3D. The stereo webcam uses two lenses to form one image that appears three-dimensional…when the viewer wears a pair of 3D glasses. When are we gonna get beyond these nerd glasses?

It’s compatible with chat services like Skype, AIM, and Windows Live Messenger. Apparently the device can take 3D photos and output 3D video that’s uploadable to YouTube too. He’s part E.T., part Wall-E and he’ll be on sale in December for $100.
