iBUYPOWER turns any game into multi touch

iBUYPOWER just announced their MAGIC software, a new interface that’s designed to let you play any game using multi touch gestures, not just games that were specifically designed that way. Think about that for a moment, a game like Supreme Commander 2 could be played using multi touch, instead of just being limited to using the keyboard and mouse.

Let’s welcome Palm to the land of the living dead

I’ve been bearish on Palm as a standalone platform since they launched last May and today the sadness-tinged chickens have come home to roost: Palm is now part of HP and, like the iPaq before it, the Pre and Pixi will slowly be subsumed into the company’s line-up.
In fact, I couldn’t be happier for Palm. [...]

Denon announces two new 3D-Ready Blu-Ray players

Denon headphones include iPad controls

Denon has released a new set of headphones, bringing the company’s total number of headphone models to 14. These new headphones, while exciting from a metaphysical standpoint (Questions can me asked, including “Does Denon really need to sell 14 different headphone models?”), are also interesting from a practical standpoint. The two in-ear models are iPhone and iPad compatibvle while the AH-NC800 – price TBD – are noise canceling.

Click through for the press release. Because we weren’t sent images I’ve placed an image of Burt Reynolds here instead.

Reevu lets loose updated MSX1 helmet with built-in rear-view system

Reevu’s MSX1 helmet has been around in one form or another for years now, but the company has apparently be busily working on improving it all this time, and it’s now finally let an actual production unit loose for an early review. As before, the helmet relies on an entirely mechanical mechanism rather than rear-view cameras, which webBikeworld says ends up functioning much like a car’s rear-view mirror in practise, with the small mirror in front resting just outside the rider’s line of sight. Most importantly, however, the site says that the helmet itself is “built like a tank,” and is “good enough to stand on its own even if it didn’t have the rear view system.” Head on past the break for a quick video overview, and hit up the source link below for the site’s complete review.

Squeezebox Touch ships at long last

Pulling back from the verge of a bottomless pit of vaporware despair comes the Squeezebox Touch, the latest in Logitech’s line of connected music players that had originally been slated to launch way back in December of last year. The device is the spiritual successor to the Squeezebox 3, eschewing the older model’s VFD display for a 4.3-inch color touchscreen LCD and adding in support for SD cards and USB mass storage devices directly from the unit itself. At $299, it’s not the kind of knee-jerk purchase you can make without thinking twice — but compared to Sonos, it’s still the value brand. Anyone else see the potential for a Chumby app on this thing?

[Thanks, remd]
