First Look: Tom Bihn Ristretto bag for iPad
I blame Steve Sande for my newest iPad-related purchase. Well, there's a lot of things to blame Steve for, but it was his reviews of the Tom Bihn Western Flyer and Checkpoint Flyer that had me checking out the company he bought the bags from last year.

Blue Nintendo DSi XL headed to the US of A
Nintendo rather quietly announced earlier that as of July 11th, it will see the DSi XL in Midnight Blue. The new color model will cost $189.99 -- just like every other DSi XL -- and will also come with all the same installed software and apps. Yes, other than the color (we'll give them this, it's a pretty sweet shade of blue) this one's identical to every other DSi XL.

‘Battlestar’ composer Bear McCreary scoring SOCOM 4
The grizzly-named composer Bear McCreary, most famous for putting together the score on the recent Battlestar Galactica TV series, has announced on his blog that he'll be composing the music for Zipper Interactive's upcoming SOCOM 4. McCreary previously did the scoring work on Capcom's Dark Void (and 8-bit spin-off Dark Void Zero), and for SOCOM 4, he says he's written, "muscially, a franchise re-boot," with over ...

Everything was calm in beautiful Skamania County, Washington, until May 18, 1980. Then, a massive stratovolcano unleashed its rage, obliterating 230 square miles around it. It was Mount St. Helens. This video show how things have changed since then.

American Heart Association approves of the Nintendo Wii
Yesterday, when we reported about how Nintendo and the American Heart Association had something planned for Monday, most people suspected the Vitality Sensor.
Turns out, it isn’t a new gadget that was the announcement, but rather an older one. The AHA is apparently putting its personal stamp on the Wii, such as games like Wii Fit Plus and the Wii Sports Resort.
By the way, the American Heart Association said that they will be receiving 1.5 million ...

NVIDIA GTX 480M will bring Fermi to laptops this June, crazy power requirements and all
We had an inkling NVIDIA wouldn't keep the Fermi goodness just to the desktop and here's our first pseudo-official confirmation. Rushing in ahead of any announcements, Eurocom has started listing a GeForce GTX 480M part, replete with 2GB of GDDR5 memory and a $345 markup relative to ATI's Mobility Radeon HD 5870. It's not clear whether the 100W number refers to the TDP or power requirements of NVIDIA's new ...

Puppet Pouch is one cute Nintendo DS cover
I found this particular mobile gaming accessory in my inbox this morning, and just had to report on this.
This Puppet Pouch is by CTA Digital, and it has a felt interior and elastic strap to keep the Nintendo DS inside this stuffed animal.
It only costs about $19.99, and the DS cover can double as a puppet. What’s not to like?

Japanese hardware sales, April 12 – April 18: Dry spell edition
Poor, poor April. After a quarter of pretty enormous video game releases, we've seen a noticeable slowdown over the past 25 days. Normally, we'd relish the opportunity to get caught up on the surplus the past few months have brought us, but ... well, we miss the action! The excitement! The variety! The occasional disappointment!
In an attempt to recapture these raw emotions, we've been forced to seek out other hobbies with even more frequent additions. Like, for instance, comic books. There's new ...

Rumors of RIM buying big touchscreens spark further rumors of tablet plans
Reports from component suppliers in Asia have RIM buying an unspecified number of 8.9″ touchscreens from supplier Hon Mai. The sources are unnamed and the original report is proving difficult to track down; the only copy of it seems to be in CrackBerry’s possession (copied below). That already places this rumor in pretty unlikely territory, but hey, you be the judge. Add in to the mix that RIM’s Mike Lazaridis publicly stated last year that they were not developing a tablet and had no specific plans to ...

Nintendo 3DS: New details leak in Japan
Nintendo’s announcement of its new portable 3D gamimg device 3DS was very brief, prompting us to speculate about possible features and implications for the way people will play games in the future. But today the Nikkei , Japan’s Wall Street Journal, is offering a bit more insight (and the Nikkei is usually a very reliable source). As a reminder, what we know so far is that the new hardware won’t require any glasses for users to see the 3D images, will be backwards compatible to DS and ...
