RealPlayer SP Rips, Converts, Shares and Syncs Internet Video
Real's new RealPlayer SP software, currently in beta, adds functionality to rip YouTube and other streaming videos from the Internet and get them onto whatever handheld you choose. It works well enough, but it's also crammed full of unnecessary features. More »

Nintendo Explains Why "i" In DSi Has Nothing To Do With Apple
I'm actually kind of surprised no one had asked Nintendo this question yet, but today we learned exactly what the letter 'i" in DSi stands for. Here's a hint: It's not "interactive." More »

For $7, you can grant your Nintendo DS the fantasy it has kept secret until today: That it could one day charge alongside a Game Boy Advance SP, DSi, and PSP via a USB port.

Deconstructed DSi Reveals Beefier Processor Might Be Draining Battery Life
When the DSi specs were first revealed in front of the Nintendo money vault this past October, we noticed the battery life of the DS line went from "pretty awesome" to "WTF?" The brighter, larger screens were initially blamed for the 1-6 hour drop, but a field stripped DSi we discovered today hints the drain might be due to a beefier processor and speakers housed within.

Sega Returning to the Hardware Biz with Vision PMP for 2009
Sony's PSP is currently getting its butt handed to it by the Nintendo DS, but don't tell that to Sega. With its upcoming Sega Vision PMP, due out in the UK sometime in 2009, the former hardware company-turned-sub par software maker is hoping to take on the jack-of-all-trades portable market. The prognosis for such a device is OK, but then again how could it not be? After all, this is the company that brought us the 32X, Saturn, and the Dreamcast—the only direction any Sega hardware offering could go from this point forward is up. More »

Sony Rebrands Mylo Personal Communicator as Mylo Internet Device, Probably Won't Help Sales
Sony took the radical step of renaming their "Mylo Personal Communicator" the "Mylo Internet Device." Though it's unlikely to affect the five of you that actually bought a Mylo, you have to wonder if it's a last ditch effort to generate interest in a product that didn't exactly set the gadget world on fire.

Sneak Peek: Lenovo's Upcoming $399 IdeaPad S10 Ultraportable
Liliputing links to a video this evening of what they describe as a first look at Lenovo's upcoming low-cost ultraportable laptop. The video's creator said he shot the video at an "electronics holiday preview show in New York a few weeks ago." These mystery Lenovo laptops will purportedly come in 8.9 inch and 10.1 inch screen sizes with a 160GB hard drive, for a $400 to $600 price point. Due date? September, possibly, and not a boring black case in sight. Update: Turns out it's the IdeaPad S10 and it'll start at $399. [Liliputing] -

More Signs of New Apple Notebooks Surface
Macrumors has spotted a report of a large Apple-placed order for laptop PCBs—up 20% over the current quarter's intake—as well as a stock notification to Best Buy announcing sparse MacBook shipments over the next two weeks. On top of the MacBook Pro case spyshots from earlier this month and this week's launch of Centrino 2, I'd say it's a good bet that new Mac portables are in the pipe. [Macrumors] -

Images of Samsung U4 MP3 Player Surface, iPod Shuffle Shakes in Fear
This image of the Samsung U4 MP3 player appeared on Samsung's Korea site over the weekend, promising "freedom from monotony." And while there are no hard specs surrounding this rendering except that it's "coming soong," it will likely pick up where the Samsung U3 left off, which is to say it wants the iPod Shuffle's head.

Guitar Hero: On Tour DS Bundle Coming in June
In a conference call today Activision said that their DS rendition of Guitar Hero will be hitting stores in June, and Nintendo was so impressed by the controller add-on, that they're allowing the hardware to be included with the game as a bundle set. Activision didn't discuss price or specific release day, but it's good knowing the game is coming sooner than later. Let's hope it's as awesome as the console version. [Joystiq]

Hands On HTC Shift EV-DO
HTC had their Shift UMPC on display here at CTIA, which packs Sprint EV-DO, an 800 MHz Celeron processor, 1 GB RAM and a 40 GB SSD into a tidy $1500 package. After getting touchy feely with it for a few minutes, I found it wasn't half bad. I was especially impressed by the proprietary HTC SnapView interface that runs on top of Windows Vista, and provides quick access to weather, calendars and emails (similar to the Windows Mobile 6.1 homescreen that it's based around).

Microchip-sized Solid State Fan Actively Cools Laptops With No Moving Parts
Engineers at Thorrn Micro Technologies have created a solid state fan for portable gadgets that is one-fourth the size and two to three times more powerful than a comparable mechanical fan. The RSD5 fan, which is roughly the size of a microchip, is said to be extremely thin, silent, and powerful and current prototypes can effectively cool a 25-watt processor. More » -

PSP Spontaneously Combusts, Burns Hole in Kid's Pants
A PSP residing in the pocket of a Michigan elementary school student caught fire in the kid's pants and caused burns to the boy's inner leg. The boy escaped serious harm, only being treated for minor burns at the hospital. But maybe Chen should start considering what he puts or doesn't put in his pants. [Click On Detroit via Kotaku]

Robot Mod Uses Nintendo DS Touchscreen, Microphone for Controls
Six engineering students in France have modded an open source Pekee robot to respond to Nintendo DS controls. It uses the the d-pad, microphone, gyroscopes built-in to game cartridges and a target interface on the touchscreen to control the robot wirelessly. Watching the video made me wonder why Nintendo hasn't announced a DS-powered R.O.B. v.2 yet. It would be amazing. [Dev-fr.org via DS Fanboy]

Early Returns: Nano Good, ROKR Bad
Although most people have had a mere three microseconds to test Apple's mana from heaven, and they are making snap judgments faster than you can say 'Blink by Malcolm Gladwell.' The one person who got to spend more than his fair share of time with either of the devices is the cookie monster himself, that great papa bear of gadgetry, Walt Mossberg. He dropped his nano, repeatedly, from the height of around three feet. (Most journalists don't even get to drop theirs from one foot. I wonder if he has to buy it now?) And, like everyone else, he loves the Nano. The concensus is that it is so small, yet so powerful. You would think that flash drives had never been invented and Moore's Law had never been proven. Our pals at iLounge hipped us to the "Universal Dock Adapter," a plastic plate that allows the nano to dock with basically any device (this is similar to the feature already found on speakers from Altec Lansing, Bose, iHome and JBL). This will make it even easier for companies to create more iPod accessories than the one thousand that, literally, exist already. The iLoungers also noted that the nano's new stopwatch and lap timer work well—a discovery made while they were sprinting from the convention center yelling 'I got one! I got one!' with Apple corporate security in hot pursuit. More »
