Nintendo DSi Blocks Pirated Flash Cards

Mark Wilson — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 15:35:00 EDT

We pretty much figured that Nintendo had another reason for releasing the DSi other than just wanting to give us a prettier system like, say, wanting to stop rampant global piracy on the DS. Now that the DSi is out in Japan, the public has tested all of the flash card piracy devices and found the results to be very, very bad. None of them work.

R4 - Failed
EZ Flash V - Failed
CycloDS - Failed
G6 DS Real - Failed
M3 DS Real - Failed
Supercard DS One - Failed
iTouch DS - Failed
FCard - Failed
NCard - Failed
M3 DS Simply - Failed
U2DS - Failed

It's possible that there's a card not currently on that list, but from our quick glance, all the big boys in DS piracy are covered. [GBA Temp via GoNintendo]

Meizu M3 Get Updated, Slightly

Travis Hudson — Tue, 29 May 2007 15:40:05 EDT

The Meizu M3 is a player that seems like it always had some potential. Meizu must agree (I would hope so) because they have revised the player as the Meizu M3se. All of the changes seem to be of the aesthetic variety. The M3se will be a tad bit (.2 inches) shorter and they have redesigned the touch-sensitive control bar, eliminating the side button and widening the vertical touch-strip. Also the previous glassy surface will be replaced with a brushed metal surface that is less prone to scratching. –Travis Hudson

Meizu M3 Music Card Preview

Jason Chen — Sat, 28 Apr 2007 15:15:32 EDT

We're actually fans of Meizu's players, despite (or maybe because of) their similarities to Apple's offerings. Their latest, the Meizu M3 Music Card, has 8GB of storage, 1.5-inch display, FM radio, 20-hour battery life, and a $100 price point.

You can get 2 and 4GB models for $65 and $80, which really makes this a lot cheaper than getting a Nano. Too bad you can't use this with the Nike+iPod kit, which we're still cursing as the reason why we're forced to buy a player we otherwise don't really need. Anything to get sexy, we suppose. – Jason Chen

PMA 07: Minox Leica M3 Replica of a Classic Updated

Charlie White — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 08:50:37 EST

We're not sure who buys these Minox Leica M3 mini-replica cameras, but they sure are cute. They've updated the old one with an LCD on the back and a 3.2-megapixel sensor inside (though they advertise it as a 5MP through interpolation).

The optional flash is a nice addition, too. Despite its diminutive size, even the hotshoe atop the camera is live. Maybe someone will make an adapter so that it could be used with a normal flash, but then again this is about as niche as a market could possibly get.

Check out the cute little ass-end of this babe, where that new LCD viewscreen resides:

You just want to reach out and pinch it! – Curtis Joe Walker

M3 Heliodisplays Can Now Project into Bigger Spaces with Better Resolutions

Louis Ramirez — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 10:29:32 EST

It's been awhile since we've heard from the gang at IO2 Technology (they developed the Heliodisplay, which projects floating images into thin air), but now they're back with a revamped Heliodisplay they're dubbing the M3. The new "displays" are looking to march their way into the mainstream world, now that they can project images into spaces as big as 30-inches. They also provide better brightness/clarity, a higher 1,024x768 resolution, and widescreen aspect ratios. Prices are still over the top, however, coming in at $18,100. Check out the video after the jump.

Meizu MusicCard (M3) in the Works

Travis Hudson — Wed, 06 Dec 2006 10:12:55 EST

Meizu has another MP3 player in the works that looks mighty impressive. The MusicCard, or M3, is a small-form-factor dap that appears to be the size of a credit card, but a little thicker. The M3 will support the usual array of audio codecs including FLAC and Ogg, and be available in 2, 4 and 8GB models. The battery life is rated at 20 hours, also. Seriously, if I wasn't already an iPod whore, I would be all over the Meizu players, they are the best aesthetically pleasing daps out there. – Travis Hudson

DirecTV For the Sea

tgrumet — Thu, 27 Oct 2005 08:54:50 EDT

Have boat, will travel. Now add the new TracVision M3 satellite TV system and you can travel in style. KVH Industries, Inc. has announced the M3 as the world's smallest marine satellite TV system, perfect for boats as small as 25 feet. Maybe you thought your vessel was just too tiny to be kicking up your feet and watching the tube? KVH says no to you naysayers. The product includes the TracVision M3 antenna, an integrated 12-volt marine receiver for DIRECTV service and easy installation, and an RF remote control for convenient operation. And the 14.5-inch antenna is just as good as the other 18-inch jobbies on the larger systems. Install this baby and you'll get 300 channels of DirecTV programming and 50 channels of XM radio if you're within 200 miles of the shore. As mentioned, it uses an RF signal (rather than the IR on home systems) so you can change channels even when the receiver is under lock and key.
