Ray-Tracing to Revolutionize Gaming Graphics?

The quality of gaming graphics is about to take a quantum leap, especially if 26-year-old Daniel Pohl has anything to do with it. He’s already knocked the gaming world’s socks off with Quake 3 RT, an experimental version of that first-person shooter using ray-tracing, a technique that computes the paths of light rays, adding extraordinary…

Sydnt’s Volvox USB Web Cam Looks Like a Thumb Drive

Korea’s Sydnt offers us a different kind of Web cam with the latest entrant to its Volvox line. This Web cam looks as though it plugs into any standard USB cable and is about the size of the average USB thumb drive. Its specs aren’t too bad for a Web cam either, with a 1.3-megapiexl…

Dealzmodo: 1GB SD Card For Free

Okay, this is getting ridiculous. Now they’re giving away 1GB SD memory cards.

CNetting HDMI 1.3: Probably Not Worth Waiting For

John “Wayne” Falcone, who we’ve dubbed the Sheriff-Geek of CNet, answers the question most of us didn’t even know we had: Should we wait for HDMI 1.3? John says not really. The difference between current HDMI and 1.3 will be real, but also very hard to detect for the average home theater couch potato. Especially…

Samsung SCH-V960 Slider Has First Optical Joystick on a Cellphone

Here’s a first from Samsung: a cellphone with an optical joystick. Slide your finger on it and the cursor moves anywhere you want on the screen, instead of just in four directions like most directional controls on cellphones. Then you can click on the icons on the screen, just like when you’re using a laptop…

JLr7: Watch From Another Planet?

Here’s another one of those cryptic watches that make you guess what time it is, the JLr7 by e35 whose little J and L-shaped LEDs seem to light up at random. Even its name seems arbitrary, but check out the top row of LEDs and you’ll see: JLr7. How does it work? The first three…

Panasonic Boosts its Ultraportables with Sprint Rev A EV-DO

If last week’s ToughBooks were a little too big for your needs, Panasonic today bestowed its ultraportable W5 and T5 ToughBooks with built-in mobile broadband. The cool thing about these notebooks (aside from their slim waist line) is that they’re the first rugged laptops compatible with Sprint’s EV-DO Rev A network, which delivers download speeds…

Voxtel Tops Windows Mobile Megapixel Count

We’re pretty sure this Voxtel W740 Windows Mobile phone is the first to breach the 4-megapixel count. Pretty high quality camera for a candybar-shaped phone of any OS. Definitely pants-tent material. The W740 has a 2.4-inch touch-screen, Bluetooth, and Motorola RAZR-like keys, but the bad news is that the phone doesn’t have a keyboard. All…

Nintendo Planning to Update DS’ Twins

Our multilingual brothers at Kotaku have discovered some interesting news via a French gaming magazine. Apparently big N is working on yet another DS hardware update, this time upgrading its dual screens from 3 inches to the vicinity of 3.5-or 3.8-inches. I can see why Nintendo released the DS Lite (the original DS was a…

Zune 1.2 Firmware Update – Faster?

Microsoft’s not spilling the beans on what’s updated on the Zune 1.2 Firmware release, but after a few minutes of playing around with the device we notice some definite speed improvements.

The iPhonic Lives. Good Thing the Trademark Does Not Belong to Cisco

An interesting set of speakers with an interesting name, the iPhonic from Saitek is meant to be carried and played wherever people congregate. Supposedly. Combining the iPhonic with an iPod turns them both into something similar to the Samsung YP-K5, a player with the speakers built in. Most people probably have little use for a…
