Nintendo Revolution Won’t Hurt Your Wallet

Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Corporate News, Wii,

Confirmed: Nintendo’s Revolution will launch for less than $299. Satoru Iwata stated in an interview on Yahoo that the revolution will definitely sell less than its cheapest competitor, the Xbox 360 Core unit. This is very interesting since more gamers and non-gamers alike would be less hesitant to fork over their hard earned money when they won’t need to fork over their plastic cards instead. Let’s just hope they don’t try to stiff us with the game prices.

BlinkX TV To Go Fills Your iPod Video

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Portable Audio / Video,

In case you didn’t know, the process of getting video to your iPod can come from many venues other than Apple. Blinkx TV launched blinkx To Go, which enables users to enter a search of video blogs, and with one click, either upload specific results to their iPod or portable video player, or save the search as a “channel,” which is automatically and perpetually updated and fed to their devices, where it can then be viewed as a single media stream. blinkx takes care of all the formatting, regardless of the original file type. Blinkx.tv is a video search engine which includes material from places like CNN and HBO as well as independently uploaded content as well. We have been playing around with it for a couple of hours, and it has certainly grown on us.

(Thanks, Jamie!)

CES Preparation

Posted by Chris Cardinal Categories: CES, CES 2006,

CES 2006 is an amazing opportunity to not only see the newest, most exciting forthcoming technology and products, but also to meet and mingle with thousands of other influential people as involved in the industry as you can get.

One great tool that’s absolutely thrilling me is MyCES. After my registration went through, I was given my login and password, and allowed to dive in. MyCES lets me select which exhibitors I want to meet, add them to my event planner, book openings at sessions and request meets with people. It shows me the top 10 exhibitors I “need to see,” 10 people I “need to meet,” search terms popular amongst other attendees and a ton more. Remember, there are 2,500 exhibitors and over 130,000 attendees at this event. It’s going to be insane, but I’m sure a great amount of fun.

MyCES also does us the benefit of tracking which booths we’ve visited, based on badge scans. We’ll hopefully be able to cover a lot of ground, so be sure to keep visiting Covering CES for all our latest on the event, starting January 4th.
