Nintendo sees overseas DSi launch by next summer-DSi有望於明年夏季於美國上市

Nintendo’s tip-toeing around an overseas, US release date of its new DSi handheld has now been narrowed to the summer of 2009, according to president Satoru Iwata. That’s a whole lot better than “well into” 2009 if you ask us. Meanwhile, Japan gets theirs starting Saturday for ¥18,900 or about $192 tax-inclusive — that’s up from $178 earlier this month thanks to a skyrocketing Yen. Nintendo has already shipped 200,000 of the slimmer, dual-cam handheld consoles in preparation for weekend sales with another 100,000 planned for the following week. Clearly there’s no such thing as an economic slowdown in the land that Mario built.

根據總裁Satoru Iwata的說法,美國DSi將提前於2009年夏季上市。比先前說2009年上市,這個消息實在好太多啦!然而,日本上市時間則為本週六,價格在18,900日幣或美金192含稅,比這個月才178美元報價還要來的高。(因為最近日幣飆漲)。為了這周的首賣,任天堂已經鋪了20萬台更輕薄、雙攝影機的Dsi,並且於下周準備了10萬台備貨。這說明了在馬力歐一手打造的世界裡,沒有經濟不景氣這件事情。

小波許:那台灣上市日期呢QQ 會不會和wii一樣一拖再拖啊???!!! 💡

W-41 t-shirts connect random people with you-把妹必備科技

If you’ve ever wished you could email a girl you thought was cute that you saw once in real life, you’ll like this new technology. W-41 allows for you to access the person’s facebook, myspace, blog or whatever else she has registered to this site. How it works is you would have to have the technology downloaded onto your phone, then when you see someone wearing the t-shirt with the logo you’d have to take a picture of it. Keep in mind you’d have to be close enough to do this.
If you want other people to be able to find you, you’d have to buy some of their clothing. They have three different shirts for guys and three for girls. One of the down sides is that yes, you could meet some new people this way, but you could also get a few creepy emails as well. There is also the annoying factor of knowing that someone is likely going to attempt to take your picture on their phone. Then if you don’t live in a large city, it’s highly unlikely anyone will know what the strange symbol on your back means. Either way, it’s still a cool way to meet new people. The shirts aren’t too expensive, but still a little pricey t-shirts are $49 and sweatshirts are $56. Thedownload for you phone is completely free though

在路上碰到可愛的女孩子時,一般人應該恨不得要到她的MSN並且跟她做近一步認識。
如果你有這種經驗,那相信你一定愛死了這項新科技,W-41讓你可以取得她的facebook、myspace、部落格或者是任何她曾經註冊過的網站。怎麼做呢?首先,你必須在手機上下載w-41的程式,之後,當你在發現有人穿著這款有W-41 logo的衣服時,趕緊把logo拍起來!(注意,要在一定的近距離才有辦法拍成功。)

若是你希望讓其他人認識你,不妨為自己買一件這樣的衣服吧,男女各有三種不同的款式可以選擇。不過這項科技也有它的缺點在,首先,雖然你可以藉由這方法認識到許多人,但同時也有可能收到許多惱人的垃圾信。當然你也要有心理準備隨時隨地都會有人拿著照相機拍你。此外,若你處在小城市,很多人會不懂你背後那奇怪的標誌是在幹麻。不過這新奇的科技不失為認識新朋友最酷炫的方法。這玩意價格有點小貴,T-shirt要價$49美元,汗衫為$56美元,至於下載程式到手機上則是免費的。

How would you change Sony’s PSP-3000? 怎麼捨得放下PSP-3000呢

We first caught wind of a slightly revamped PSP months ago, and the long-awaited handheld — complete with a new, fancier and in some cases more dreadful display — finally hit US shelves this month. For those that picked one of these up and have spent some quality time digging into the latest firmware, how are you liking things? Particularly for those that upgraded, are you pleased with the new build? Are you being plagued with those mysterious screen problems features? Could you stand to see a few more things tweaked for the PSP-4000? We suspect there will be quite a few mixed messages flying in this one, so let’s get those comments rolling.

幾個月前才剛聽說PSP有些微的調整,現在期待已久的掌上機終於到手拉!全新、更酷炫並且更狂暴的畫面表現,終於於本月在美國上架拉。對於那些已經巴忘許久且已經耗費上許多時間在挖最新韌體的阿宅們,你們開心了嗎?尤其是那些一拿到手就馬上更新的傢伙們,對於新機種還滿意嗎?正為那些詭譎的螢幕問題功能而困擾著嗎?你們是否要抬起頭來看看未來將發行的 PSP-4000呢?我們大膽預料未來將有許多關於這些繪聲繪影的消息,管他的~就讓謠言滿天飛吧!

PSP-3000搶鮮報!

We know they’re hitting the streets, and we’ve already seen some unboxing pics and a nasty gutting, but we felt we needed to give Sony’s new PSP-3000 the proper Engadget treatment. As you can tell by the photos, there’s not much new here, though as you should know, the guts are where it’s all going down (new screen, built-in microphone). Still it never hurts to take a close look at a shiny new toy… so enjoy yourselves in the gallery.

現在最夯的莫過於即將問世的PSP-3000,截至目前為止我們已經找到一些開箱照以及肢解圖,但我們深刻認為該給Sony PSP-3000一個癮科技式的對待。從照片上你可以清楚看到,PSP-3000和前代並無什麼大更動。ㄟ~眼尖的您應該會發現,PSP-3000換上新螢幕內建麥克風。反正挖這些新鮮玩意的消息永遠不讓您無聊…所以,沒事多看看吧! :mrgreen:

會飛的夢幻科技玩具

It’s true — we’re suckers for anything that simultaneously satisfies our lust for robotics and brings back childhood memories of passing the day with Disney films. To that end, we couldn’t resist the opportunity to swoon over WowWee’s latest stroke of brilliance, the $39.99 FlyTech Tinker Bell. Entirely more rad than that soulless Bladestar, this here fairy promises to posses that same spirited sassiness as the Disney character, and the flower wand remote control really caps things off. She can buzz around and delight guests for 4-minutes on an 18-minute charge, and her “crash-resistant materials prevent her from getting into mischief.” Oh wait, it’s appropriate for Earthlings ages 6 years and up? Huzzah!

別懷疑你所見的—我們總是對那些滿足我們對玩具狂熱以及帶領我們回到兒時迪士尼影片記憶的玩意兒情有獨鍾。 為此,當我們發現這款WowWee最新出品-39.99美元的婷兒飛行玩意時,驚為天人!比起Bladestar更為活靈活現, 婷兒仙子保有如同在動畫彼得潘內的唯妙唯肖角色氣質,設計團隊並運用花棒造形設計遙控器。這玩意只須充電18分鐘就可在你身邊翁翁飛舞長達4分多鐘,而特殊的耐摔材質可以保護她不受損壞。這是指適合年齡須為六歲以上嗎? 好耶~

10塊美金讓你擁有藍光高畫質全民超人-Sony Bravia

Tired of watching Amazon Video on Demand, Dailymotion and YouTube videos on your BRAVIA Internet Video Link? Coming through on its promise to send Hancock to Sony HDTV owners first, Sony Pictures is offering the flick (in 720p or 480p, depending on bandwidth) for $9.99 starting October 28 through November 10, and even throwing in a free Blu-ray copy after it’s released November 24. We’ll have to wait and see if the Hancock At-Home Premiere is a one of a kind promotion (note: the stream is “valued” at $29.99) or a regular benefit to owning a BRAVIA and accompanying $299 add-on, but we can’t help thinking this would be a lot more interesting if it were offered over the PlayStation Network.

厭倦了Sony Bravia 網路支援有限的Amazon Video、Dailymotion 付費影片及youtube了嗎? Sony終於要兌現全民超人影片下載給Sony HDTV消費者的支票拉! Sony將於10/28到11/10以$9,99美元價格提供該片下載(依據頻寬支持720p或480p),甚至還於11/24號藍光版本釋出後免費提供給 用 戶。 我們認為全民超人的家庭處女秀或許是Sony的一種行銷手法 (註:基本上這樣的下載價格約為$29,99美元) 或者是回饋給擁有Bravia且支付$299美元add-on功能的用 戶優惠。 但我們不免聯想到如果Sony能提供支援PlayStation的網路功能,豈不棒呆了!
