Gametrak Freedom Xbox 360 motion controller up for pre-order with Squeeballs

We get the feeling this isn’t the motion sensing surprise that’s likely in store for Xbox 360 fans at E3 , but it’s still great to see this controller moving beyond the hype stage.

Acoustic superlens could mask ships from sonar… in theory, anyway

Man, the mad scientists are really on a roll of late. First we hear that Li-ion cells are set to magically double in capacity , and now we’re learning that a new form of invisibility cloak is totally gearing up for its Target debut.

Samsung’s OmniaHD gets high-def unboxing

If watching the N97 crawl out of its Espoo-designed packaging just isn’t enough for one day, how’s about this? An unlocked Samsung OmniaHD (or i8910, if we’re being proper ) has found its way into the ever-loving hands of one mareskino, and he was kind enough to unbox the thing on video. Better still, the quality here is second to none, and we’d bet you’ll be drooling by the end of it.

Philips GoGear Opus reviewed: solid audio, but painfully boring

When we had the downright magnificent opportunity to toy with Philips’ latest PMP line here in the States, we immediately noticed that the GoGear Opus stood out among the rest. The crew over at TrustedReviews recently spent some quality time with the 8GB version of that very unit, and while they found the audio quality to be “excellent,” they seemed rather disappointed — if not irked — by everything else in the package

Microsoft’s Zune HD shipping on September 5th?

Look, we fully understand that September 5th is a long ways out, but don’t think for a second that Microsoft isn’t inking every last detail of its Zune HD launch in stone.

Ultra-powerful laser could make incandescent light bulbs more efficient

Look, LED light bulbs are fanciful, great for Ma Earth and a fine addition to any home, barber shop or underground fight club. But let’s be honest — even the guy that bikes through blizzards to get to work and wears garb that he grew in his basement isn’t apt to shell out $120 a pop to have what’s likely the most efficient light bulb American dollars can buy.

Microsoft showing off Windows 7-powered Viliv S5 MID at Computex

Being that Release Candidate 1 just hit the tubes , we weren’t really expecting a big Windows 7 presence at Computex this year. Much to our surprise, Viliv has announced that it will be showcasing the first official Win7-powered MID at the Taiwan-based show later this week. The heralded S5 will be the lucky device, with a duo of WiMAX-equipped cousins (X70 EX and S7) hanging around to demonstrate live video streaming

HP’s Mini 1101 up for order, customizations nowhere to be found

We know the Mini 1101 is the more business-centric of the new HP netbooks , but unless the company has a sudden change of heart, it looks like you’ll be getting the base configuration or nothing at all. Starting today, HP is enabling eager consumers to purchase one of the $329 machines, but the only “customization” options are external accessories and peripherals.

Nokia’s N97 unboxed on video — somehow, someway

We always heard that where there is a will, there is a way. Said mantra has never been more exemplified than in the video past the break, as someone halfway across this great planet has seemingly procured what could be the very first shipping N97
