Wii Dropping October 30 (??)

A drunken Nintendo exec apparently told a french website, Impact Virtuel, that the Wii would “officially announce” the Wii on October 30 with subsequent launches in Japan at the end of November and US and Europe launches a few days later. Unfortunately, this smacks of someone making merde up, but we’ll give them the benefit…

Celltick: Push for Phones

Celltick is launching LiveScreen, a screen-saver for cellies that pushes news, weather, and other updates via your phone’s idle screen. That it also displays ads and other dosh is purely incidental and should stop you from downloading it. Looks like they’re focusing on Symbian phones right now, but look for this company to tank in…

eBay Deal of the Day: Kraftwerk’s Vocoder

While Cher, Britney, and Kid Rock have twiddled the Vocoder in their day, Kraftwerk was probably the first band to really remind us of the techno-hell we’re descending into by opened Autobahn with the magic of a voice distorted with custom electronics. It’s stuck at $3,800 right now, so head on over and bid. eBay…

Sony UX50: Now More Coolio, Flashio

We haven’t much cared for most UMPCs, and were especially unimpressed by the Samsung Q1, with its clumsy input routine. But we’re fond of the Sony VGN-UX50 with its 4.5 inch LCD, 1024×600 resolution, Core Solo U1300, slide-over keyboard and built-in camera. Now Sony has updated its coolness factor, replacing the UX50’s conventional hard drive…

Well, it had to happen. The eBay run-up on the Sidekick 3 is now reaching ridonkulous proportions, with some folks paying $4,050 for a hunk of electronics.
