DataWind launches PocketSurfer2

DataWind launches PocketSurfer2The DataWind PocketSurfer2 will come with some updated features like a touchpad, integrated GPS receiver, improved display, and better Vodafone network coverage. The PocketSurfer2’s US counterpart, the PC Edge, hasn’t really made a big splash here and so hasn’t been updated but the price has been reduced by $100. In the U.S. it will cost $200 for the unit with a $24.99 monthly fee, while those living in the UK will pay £200 with 20 hours of free surfing each month for the year. After the first year, UK owners can choose a £40 annual fee or a one-time £60 fee for the Immortality Plan which provides unlimited surfing for lifetime of the device.

Best Buy Express Kiosks Get Official

Best Buy Express KiosksAnyone who travels frequently has ended up at the airport digging around for one of their gadgets or a charger only to realize it’s not there. If you are on business and are missing something like your cell phone charger — you could be in serious hot water.

Best Buy has officially announced a new Best Buy Express kiosk pilot program that will put Best Buy kiosks in airports around the country. Items inside the kiosks are said to sell for the same price the item sells for in the retail store — so no gouging. Best Buy says it teamed with ZoomSystems to launch the test.

Inside the kiosks will be an assortment of digital goods like computer accessories, digital cameras and accessories, flash drives, MP3 players, headphones, speakers, unlocked phones, portable gaming devices, gift cards, travel adapters, and chargers.

Handheld Thermal Imager for Predator hunting

Handheld Thermal Imager hunts for Predator
So the Predator is loose in your city, half your men are dead and it keeps making that eerie noise as it stalks you. Carl Weathers and Jesse Ventura were no help at all. Unfortunately, Predators have state of the art camoflage, so chances are, you won’t live very long to tell the tale…Unless you have something that can show you his heat source. Like this Handheld Thermal Imager for instance.

It combines a visible light digital image with an infrared one, producing a single view that lets you get an immediate visual temperature map of whatever you aim it at. It’s priced at about $7500. These thermal imagers are designed for heavy-duty industrial troubleshooting and safety applications, but there’s no reason you can’t use it to snag yourself a Predator before it detonates an atomic bomb from it’s wrist.

Micro VS System: Donkey Kong Hockey

Micro VS System: Donkey Kong Hockey
I don’t know about you, but I’ve always wanted to play hockey with Donkey Kong. It’s just a dream of mine. I’m a geek. I know he wouldn’t perform well on the ice since he’s so big, so I know I can save the Princess. I’ll finally get my chance.

The Micro VS System was released in 1984 and is one of the earliest consoles that let’s you play against another player and with DK. With the console’s two handhelds, two players can join a game by sharing the screen between them. They are pretty hard to find, but the good news is that Play-Asia.com got hold of a limited quantity of brand new factory sealed consoles. Better hurry.

FC Mobile console plays original NES carts

FC Mobile console plays original NES carts
We’ve seen our share of Nintendo NES clone systems, but as far as we know, this is the first mass-produced portable that can actually play those huge cartridges from the classic 8-bit gaming system. The FC Mobile portable plays original NES game carts. Take it and your huge cartridges everywhere and play.

You can play on the built-in 2.4-inch LCD screen, or on your television with the included AV cable. It takes three AA batteries, and plays audio through internal stereo speakers or using the headphone jack. Despite the obvious Famicom reference, seems like the console plays North American NES games, not Japanese Famicom games. Get one in black/silver or red/white. Sure, it looks silly playing NES games on a small portable, but what the hell.

Gelaskins wants to jazz up your DS and PSP
We recently told you about Colorware customizing PSPs and the DS, but as cool as it would be to have them pimp your handheld, some people can’t afford it. Gelaskins has a much cheaper alternative.

Gelaskins is known for doing laptops, iPods, phones etc. but they have branched out to the PSP and the DS. For the PSP, they offer free wallpapers to go with the skin. Similar to what they already do for the iPod Touch. On the DS the skin covers both the outside cover and the inside. It will cost you $19.95.
