Tony Hawk: RIDE’s skateboard gets FCC’d, USB dongle required for PS3 and Wii

We still gotta wait until November 17th to do our own virtual shredding, but for now you can gaze upon the FCC’s well-intentioned (but generally pretty bad) gadget photography of the new Tony Hawk: RIDE skateboard, the filing of which just went live in the commission’s database. It shouldn’t come as a surprise to owners of Activision’s other plastic peripherals from the Guitar Hero series, but PlayStation 3 owners will have to use the bundled USB dongle to connect wirelessly to the console — Wii, too, according to its user manual, as the usual trick of planting a Wii remote inside the controller isn’t available here. Sad and ridiculous, but we can’t imagine one dangling receiver will be a deal-breaker for many people out there — unless, of course, you’re able to buy the Xbox 360 version instead.

    It's a world's first coming from an organization you've never heard of -- when you live outside of China, anyway. Taking Google's newly minted OS and slipping it into a reasonable chassis, Ainovo's Novo 7 Basic could all right be a sleeper hit a number of the tech-obsessed masses. Sure, it could lack the emblem equity and tidy content ecosystems which are part and parcel of Amazon and… »
