Now is this one true life-sized console controller. The WiiMan is a full action figure costume of a super hero that doubles up as a Nintendo Wiimote as well, thanks to some soldering wizardry. I can’t imagine playing any games with this - it will definitely make you much fitter than you would ever be compared to picking up Wii Fit.

Samsung’s other new device launched today is the Samsung S3 portable media player. Whilst the S2 Pebble gets a tiny, classy look, the Samsung S3 is thin media device. Also, whilst the S2 Pebble is minimalistic in nature, the S3 Slim Portable Media Player is equipped with a 1.8-inch screen for video and picture viewing. At 1.8 ounces, the S3 Slim is only 0.4 inches thick and is around the size of a standard business card holder. It’s equipped with a 4 GB flash memory, and uses Li-Poly battery which has a 25 hour music playtime or 4 hour video playback.

The Micro GPS Mail Logger allows you to track your mail - at a price, of course, to the tune of $696 to be exact. It measures 0.5″ thick and is bendable, and can be used in parcels and even envelopes. The GPS Mail Logger records the global position of your mail throughout the delivery process. Once you receive your mail, plug in the GPS Mail Logger’s MicroSD card and find out where your mail has been in seconds. With time stamps and recorded downtime you can find out where your mail has been and if it was delayed or misrouted. With GPS you get your mail’s exact satellite location, how fast it was traveling, and even its altitude throughout the delivery process. (Read the full post about ‘Micro GPS Mail Logger’…)

MIT Media Lab Associate Professor Ted Selker loves objects that are easy to handle and hates the user interface of many modern cell phones. This is why he was a perfect person to talk about the future of human interfaces in mobile systems at today’s Mobile Future conference. Professor Selker, who gained worldwide notoriety with his creation of the IBM notebook’s eraser-head cursor button, emphasized that any new tech in cell phones (or any new hardware) needs to understand the chaotic lifestyle of humans. They also need to pay attention to the little things that we like. For example, if we like riding superfast motorcycles, there should be a safety gadget with an accelometer on the helmet that gives cars a better visual a few moments before the bike is about to turn (see pic below).

If support from Blu-ray players and videogame consoles wasn’t enough, DivX Certification has snaked its long arm directly into HDTVs, with “over 80 models” from HP and LG slapping on a sticker indicating users can simply plug a USB drive in and play their entirely-legitimately-owned content. Expect that number to grow, since DivX is also working with AMD, Chips and Media, Broadcom and Trident to include support in other chipsets powering digital TVs near you. Now how about we see some of that content?ReadPermalinkEmail this41 CommentsFiled under: Di (Read the full post about ‘DivX support finds its way into HP, LG HDTVs’…)

I back my data up as though it were a religion and I a zealot. Yet, I still haven’t learned how to keep myself from making really really dumb mistakes (e.g. washing my laptop bag with my memory stick inside of it – twice). SanDisk’s new Cruzer Titanium Plus boasts 4GB of storage and a free 6-month subscription to BelnSync, an online backup service to protect Windows users with an uplink that saves your data outside of the flash drive itself. (The service is $29.99 per year afterwards.) If you’re a savvy tech kid you probably won’t need this, but if you’re not or your significant other, parent, grandparent, or forgetful friend is not, then this might be a smart gift with a knack for remembering.

A new HP iPAQ smartphone has just received the FCC kiss of approval, and we find that might actually be a member of the HP iPAQ 900 smartphone series, to be called HP iPAQ 910 for the AT&T network. Now while this new smartphone has a slightly intimidating facade, not to mention that it’s colored in an aggressive black, it’s interesting to note that this phone is not just about business. It’s also about the other, equally important things in your life that make you happier, like a built-in GPS system, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Quadband GSM connectivity and support for expandable micro SDHC cards. And take a look at that screen. (Read the full post about ‘An HP iPAQ 900 Series smartphone for AT&T?’…)
