      A Collection of Wii trailers from E3

      June 5, 2009 /

      Here’s a few of my favorite Wii trailers from this year’s E3:

      First, Super Mario Galaxy 2. This looks to be an amazing follow-up to what could be considered the best game on the Wii. The graphics and gameplay again look great and you can never go wrong by adding Yoshii.

      Also, New Super Mario Bros. Wii looks awesome. I play the DS version and can’t put it down… even months after completing the final level. This looks great!

      And finally, even though it’s a XBox 360 and Playstation 3 title as well, you have to marvel at the quality of The Beatles: Rock Band trailer.

      Pocket Retro Game Emulator

      June 4, 2009 /

      I love ThinkGeek. It’s a great site for purchasing all things geek. And you have to admit, there’s at least a little geek in all of us.

      Yesterday, while sifting through the “There’s no place like 127.0.0.1” t-shirts and “The Linux Fish!” car magnets, I found something great. They posted a “Pocket Retro Game Emulator.” Here are the dets:

      Pocket Retro Game Emulator• Mini Handheld gaming system plays roms from your favorite 8 and 16 bit game consoles
      • No emulator software to load. Just copy over the roms and start playing.
      • 4GB of internal storage, expandable via mini SD
      • Beautiful 2.8 inch QVGA (320×240) LCD Screen
      • Output to TV via included composite video cables
      • Full media player functions including videos, music, FM radio, e-books and voice recorder
      • Built-in Stereo Speakers
      • Internal li-battery gives 6-8 hours of runtime on a single charge

      Not that we here at Gadget Teaser condone any downloading of roms, it would be sweet to have one of these things loaded with them. Plus, at 4GB, you could have thousands of them. I’d say it’s worth the $99 price tag for sure.

      All the Next-Gen iPhone Rumors Visually Summed Up

      June 3, 2009 /

      iPhone Rumors

      Kudos to The Green Room Blog for putting together all the 3rd generation iPhone rumors in one very detailed picture. I especially like the color coding system for how likely the rumor is to come true. You must click through and spend the minute or two it takes to read through all of them.

      Almost everything from the “Somewhat likely” and “Very likely” categories I do expect to see. However, from the “Unlikely” category, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a front-facing camera. It’s about time video conferencing took off on this phone. Plus, we already have Skype, right. The other unlikely I really wish was true is the Flash support. I agree it’s unlikely, but I’m hoping it’s true.

      Apple, iPhone

      You may be paying to download apps again…

      June 2, 2009 /

      I’m not sure what to think about this one. According to numerous rumors, Apple will start charging you to re-download already purchased apps to your iPhone/iPod Touch. You can download the app again from your PC or Mac, but not from the iPhone. iClarified has some thoughts on this.

      The warning message pictured below has been appearing to some users on the iPhone 3.0 beta firmware. Previously if you had purchased an iPhone app you could remove it and then easily redownload and install it on your iPhone as many times as you like.

      Now the warning dialog suggests that you must re-download it using your computer; otherwise, you will have to pay full price for the app again.

      The iPhone Blog believes that this is due to the on-device account management coming to iPhone 3.0. The ability to log in and out of multiple iTunes accounts on your iPhone could lead to the sharing of iPhone purchases with others who haven’t paid for them.

      I can kinda see where they are going with this. Kinda. Apple is trying to fend off people from signing into each others phones and downloading already purchased apps. But couldn’t they have come up with a better way of preventing this? I’m no genius but I would think that the brain trust at Apple could have worked this out in a more convenient way for the end user.

      Apple, Apps, iPhone
