The Zune HD just gets better and better. Microsoft has loaded the Zune Marketplace with a few free 3D games, including indie classic Audiosurf and a version of Project Gotham Racing. The games perform well and in the case of PGR, have graphics that rival those found in PSP games. The only thing missing is a workable control scheme which has been a constant problem for iPhone games.
The Palm Pixi is now available and the verdict is that if it can be had cheap, it is totally worth it. Walmart currently has a deal that will get you a Pixi for $30, and at that price who can say no?
The mystery of the Nvidia tablet has been solved, and it is not as exciting as anyone had hoped. If anything, it seems like the push for a workable tablet is heating up though, so Apple is on a timeline. Psystar continues its efforts to unintelligently fight Apple, and Hackintoshing is no longer easy with the release of OS X 10.6.2.
Hey there, web surfer. What’s cracking? Us? Oh, not much, just listening to this side-splitting episode of the Engadget Podcast on our portable listening device. Yeah, it’s the episode where Josh, Nilay and Paul find a purse on the sidewalk with $500 in it and debate whether or not to take it to the police or spend the money on pizza and arcade games. Or maybe they talk about gadgets. You should check it out! Alright, later on cool dude.
