Hulk Smash Electronic Fists: 1-Minute Catfight and Review
Clearly super-hero season is full on at this point, and the product is already in stores. Hasbro sent us two pairs of $20 Hulk Smash electronic action-sensitive talking fists. These are different from the old ones because a) they're made by Hasbro, not Toy Biz b) are cloth, not foam and c) have one speaker, not two. We still have to wait a little over a month for the Hulk movie, though, provided Ed Norton doesn't chain himself to the outgoing prints to keep the world from seeing it. (Yep, that slow-mo comes from the beloved Casio EX-F1.) [Video by Nick McGlynn Hasbro]

Nokia to Apple: Blah Blah iPhone Killer Blah Blah You Suck
Nokia said they didn't care about the iPhone back when it was introduced, not even commented on it beyond a brief "smeh." Then, they presented their iPhone killer concept, a demo that looked and acted exactly like Apple's handset, even while it was "no competition for Nokia." Now they have announced they are "readying" the final product, code-named Tube. They showed it yesterday, while pooh-poohing on His Steveness' toy:

Despite the supposedly game-changing motion controls that the Wii brings to gaming, a good portion of AAA games use the Wiimote in the more traditional controller sense. How do you make the one-handed controller more comfortable for two handed play? By shoving it inside a body that adds an "analog" stick and two DualShock-like grips. And when you're done making Snake do sexy things to Samus, it comes off for easy storage. [Cyber Gadget via Impress via Nintendo Wii Fanboy]

Crystal Icing is back with two more additions to their Swarovski encrusted Wii range. They previously bought us the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess edition, which looked remarkable. Well, they are obviously onto a winning formula; just checkout the new Super Smash Bros Brawl inspired Wii / Swarovski overkill artworks. Sure, they are excessive, but we have always wanted to see what Bowser looked like when he's all blinged out by 20,000 crystals. If you have had similar queries about Mario, jump in to put your curiosities aside.

Exclusive Video: Flat Flexible OLED Screen Survives Hammer Pounding
What happens when you smash a super-thin OLED display with a hammer? Last week, Wilson and I learned all about OLEDs, but after our factory tour we were left with that one nagging question. Lucky for us, mystery solved, as UDC has the answer courtesy of this video demonstration. Personally, I'd like to see this test performed on more gadgets. Blending is getting a little old. [UDC]

Remember those rumors that Wal-Mart was going big in HD DVD and ordering 2 million cheapo Chinese HD DVD players? Yeah, that's not so true. Fuh Yuan, the company supposedly taking the orders, just posted a correction regarding the orders, saying they "had not received yet." Wal-Mart just asked them for a cost analysis and timing appraisal, and may choose them to provide the players if everything looks dandy. Did you know Fuh yuan is supposedly, according to a translation in AVS forums, going to IPO soon? Convenient.

Rumor Smashed: Microsoft Not Selling Fuel Cell Chargers
Ignore that rumor about Microsoft making fuel cell rechargers for the Zune. The company's just said they're only ordering these things to give away at events such as CES, CTIA and AVN. What, you didn't see Microsoft's booth at AVN? It was pure debauchery. More »

Rumor Smashed: iTunes Card NOT Free With Zune
Yesterday we posted a Weird Combo of the Day that offered a $15 iTunes card free with the purchase of a Zune. Later, we even had a "tip" from a CompUSA "employee" with a "screenshot" of an internal "memo" referencing the "incident" about the "deal" and yes I like "quotes". More »

If you thought the PS3 was the only console these guys were gonna smash, think again. Dressed up as Mario and Luigi, the sledgehammer-toting duo gave a brand new Wii the beating of its life in front of a line of Nintendo fanboys. Unlike the previous Wii autopsy we showed you, these guys took out all their aggression on the tiny console. The video is worth a chuckle especially with the Mario Bros. sound effects running in the background, though it woulda been a lot cooler had they destroyed the Wii by spitting fireballs at it. More »
