Star Wars Force Trainer mind game

The Gadget Show  Friday 11 September 2009

Star Wars Force Trainer mind game Feel the force, Luuuuuke.

As every good Jedi in training knows, the key to building your powers is practice, practice, practice. Obviously you can’t spend every day down the academy, but thanks to the Force Trainer you can now put in the hours at home instead.

The game involves trying to move a ball using the power of your mind – literally. The three EEG sensors strapped to your head monitor and read brain activity a…

Motorola DEXT Android handset outed

The Gadget Show  Friday 11 September 2009

Motorola DEXT Android handset outed Could DEXT be Moto's much needed RAZR replacement?

Remember Motorola? It used to make some pretty snazzy handsets back in the day. Before Apple started devouring the mobile market and everyone else upped their game.

But it looks like Moto could be back in the stadium at least with its brand spanking new DEXT handset. Not only does it stand out as being non-ugly, but it sports Google’s Android mobile OS so it’s got that instant swank factor. ...

Sony Ericsson turning its back on Windows Mobile?

The Gadget Show  Thursday 10 September 2009

Sony Ericsson turning its back on Windows Mobile? Sony Ericsson and Windows Mobile during happier times.

It’s not had a bad run, but it seems Sony Ericsson is changing the locks and waving goodbye to Windows Mobile after the recently announced Xperia X2 is out the door.

With the mobile OS market considerably different than when Sony Ericsson first jumped aboard the WinMo wagon, what with Apple stealing the hearts with iPhone OS and Google the minds with Android. Microsoft, it would seem, has st…

New iPods all round! Uncle Steve left no model out of the new iPod lineup

The iPod nano may have received extra special treatment at Apple’s big unveiling last night, but there was something new for all the iPod family.

As expected, the faithful old classic received another stay of execution and was bumped up to 160GB capacity for the same price as the previous model.

The iPod touch got touched up as well, although it still remains camera-less. On the plus side…

Apple takes on Flip with video equipped iPod nano

The Gadget Show  Thursday 10 September 2009

Apple takes on Flip with video equipped iPod nano Apple's newest nano shoots video too - take that, Flip!

The runaway success of cheap, flash based camcorders like the Flip Mino hasn’t escaped Apple’s notice and it’s now tackling them head on with its latest iPod nano.

The new nano can now not only play music but also shoot video too. There’s a camera on the back and it’ll happily chew up 640×480 pixel resolution video and save it to its internal memory.

Once you’re back at your PC, just link…

The Gadget Show  Wednesday 09 September 2009

New BlackBerry 9700 Boldly goes 3G The BlackBerry Bold 9700's optical touchpad is grit and dust resistant.

The trickling dripfeed of GPRS data might have cut it for email five years ago, but ever increasing attachments means you now need a big fat pipe to pull it all down. Which is where BlackBerry’s new Bold 9700 mobile workhorse comes in.

Not only does it pack Wi-Fi for when you’re office bound – or in your favourite coffee spot – but it builds in 3G as well so you can suck down emails faster t…

The Gadget Show  Wednesday 09 September 2009

Apple iPod event: latest rumour round up Apple: It's only rock and roll, but we like it.

The clock is ticking on Apple’s new product shindig which will kick off at 6pm UK time, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t time to speculate wildly, er, use informed opinion to decipher what the fruity phone maker will pull out of the hat later on.

The big clue is that the event is all about music – even a D-list celeb falling out of a nightclub at 3am in the morning couldn’t miss the lack of…

The Gadget Show  Wednesday 09 September 2009

Palm sprinkles its fairy dust on the Pixi Palm's latest touchscreen swaps slide out keyboard for candybar curves.

While we’re still waiting to actually get our mitts on the Pre, Palm’s touch screen comeback kid that was unveiled in January, shoppers Stateside have got a shiny new handset to coo over.

The Pixi looks a lot like the Pre but there’s no slide out keyboard – it’s just your traditional candybar design – but there’s still a full Qwerty tapper to punch out your prose on.

The screen is a littl…
