Popalive's LCD Remote Keeps Tabs on Your iPod

Despite its Fisher Price-sounding name, Alive-Style's new Popalive remote looks pretty cool. It's basically a wireless remote with an embedded 1.5-inch color screen that lets you view and navigate your iPod from afar. Dock your iPod with the Popalive Dock, connect it to your stereo or TV (the dock has audio and video outputs), and with the Popalive remote you can control what plays next. It uses bi-directional RF connectivity, which the company claims works through walls, etc. We'll have to try that out ourselves, but otherwise seems like a cool accessory. Pricing isn't out yet, but you can expect to see the Popalive by the end of the year. – Louis Ramirez More »

How To Find Wii Component Cables

We have to admit, we're six years late to the party on this one. We just purchased a set of PS2 component cables this past weekend and have to say that there's a pretty noticeable difference between composite and component, even on an old system like the PS2. More »

MojoPlay Monitor Makes Your 360 Mobile

I don't normally make it a habit of lugging my Xbox 360 around to other people's houses, but should the desire ever arise (or if you have a car to do the lugging for you), MojoPlay's MP-920XB is at your service. It's a 9.2-inch traveling display that connects to your 360 and lets you play games when someone else is hogging up the TV. The screen has an 800x480 resolution along with built-in speakers and dual headphone jacks. It's out today for $170 with PS3 and Wii equivalents slated for next year, though personally I wouldn't wanna play any console games on a display smaller than 26-inches. – Louis Ramirez More »

NES Skins Transform the Wii into 8-Bit Ancestors

First Look: Dell XPS M1710 with Blu-ray

Just when you thought they couldn't get any better, Dell has given its XPS M1710 a big shot of botox. As of this morning, the Media Center laptops have been fitted with Blu-ray drives giving the 17-inch gaming machines a high-def kick in the ass. Alongside their newfound HD capabilities (they pack a gorgeous 1,920x1,200 widescreen display), the notebooks also flaunt Intel's top of the line mobile processor and Nvidia's hypersonic GeForce Go 7950 GTX video card. We were lucky enough to score some play time with the new laptop.... More »

Charlie Brown's Pathetic Christmas Tree

Flybook Gives Its Notebooks a Rise

The Flybook VM may look like your standard issue ultraportable, but deep inside this notebook wants to be a desktop, albeit a small one. You see the 3.6-pound Flybook hides a telescoping neck that lets you perch the laptop's 12.1-inch display above the keyboard so the display is better angled with your line of sight. The VM is no slouch in the specs department either, featuring a dual-core processor and built-in DVD burner. Add some smooth angles, a glossy case, and a bikini babe and you've got one of the hottest ultraportables on the market. At least on paper. The Flybook VM is due out later this month for $2,899. – Louis Ramirez More »

JVC's Sophisti Speakers Upscale DVDs and Pack Wi-Fi

So now that you've taken advantage of all those Black Friday specials and scored a new flat-panel TV, it's time to pair it with some decent speakers. Stepping up to the plate is JVC's Sophisti line, a 3.1 system that cuts back on wires and looks good doing it. All three models in the Sophisti range (DD-8, DD-3, DD-1) can decode Dolby Digital, DTS, and Pro Logic II, but the DD-8 and DD-3 up the ante by upscaling your DVDs to 720p. The latter two models can also connect to your computer and wirelessly play back music, video, or photos stored on your hard drive. I'm particularly liking the DD-8, which is the only model to include floor-standing speakers. The models are available in the UK starting at $960. Pics of the full range after the jump. More »
