04 Sep 10 Fallout: New Vegas graphic novel comes to iPad
In case you thought the big video game news was the return of Duke Nukem Forever, here is something else big: a Fallout: New Vegas graphic novel.
You can get a free demo of this particular comic on the iPad. Bethesda Softworks teamed with Dark Horse Comics to create a graphic novel that is written by Chris Avellone, the game’s senior designer.
I’m not certain what the full price of it will be, but it should be quite good, I guess.

04 Sep 10 Pogoplug now streams to your iPad too
It seems like every time that Pogoplug does something, I try and report on it. For example, when they got even more wireless, when they sync with Brother printer, and Pogoplug Biz. For those who don’t know, Pogoplug is the best way to get content on any computer wirelessly.
It has now been put out on the iPad, and this is Pogoplug HD. It is a library breakdown by media type on the left hand side, with your content on the right. You can stream musti can movies to your iPad, as well as PDFs and Word documents.
The App is free, and good for transmitting stuff to your iPad wirelessly.

04 Sep 10 Rydeen creates its own Android tablet
We have seen a lot of Android tablets come out in the last few days, from companies like Camangi and For You Digital. Clearly, someone wants to compete with the Galaxy Tab.
I have never heard of Rydeen Mobile, but it has created a 7-inch Android tablet that is essentially a “gPad” GCOM701. It has an 800 MHz ARMADA 166 SOC, 256MB of RAM, micro-SD storage slot, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, mini and non-mini USB ports, front facing camera, as well as 2400mAh battery for six hours of use.
I believe that this is slated for a November release.

04 Sep 10 LG Optimus One and Optimus Chic shows up IFA
It looks like the Optimus 7 isn’t the only thing showing up from LG at IFA.
This is the Optimus One and the Optimus Chic, two Google-powered phones that were announced a few months ago. This is cheap Android stuff like Huawei Ideos, and it looks pretty sharp.
Unfortunately, it was under glass at IFA, so we don’t know when it will become available.

04 Sep 10 Walkman NWZ-S754 shows up at IFA
Some of you might remember some of the terrific Walkmans, which outsell iPods in Japan, newer models like the NWZ-E350 and NWZ-E450 series are about to see another one with the NWZ-S754.
This one just showed up at IFA without any prior announcement, it seems. The NWZ-S754 is an apparent follow-up to the S745.
It doesn’t seem to have much specs on it, other than it has black and silver models in 8GB models. This also has an OLED screen, and we don’t have a release date or price.

04 Sep 10 LG Optimus 7 can transfer photos to TVs
At IFA, LG decided to put the Optimus 7 phone (not be confused with the Optimus Z) on display.
In case you don’t remember, the Optimus 7 is a Windows Phone 7 phone that can stream its DLNA content to a Wi-Fi enabled TV.
LG has been working with Microsoft on this for a while, and it plans on marketing this device as early as next month.
So, a phone that communicates with your TV? You got to like that. It’s as good as the Canon/iPhone combination.

04 Sep 10 iPhone and Canon: A Marriage of technology, really
I wasn’t certain to post this on this site or Image-Acquire. However, I was very excited about it.
After all, it is the marriage of an iPhone and a Canon. As you can see in the video, the iPhone just fits in there very comfortably.
It takes pictures and focuses pretty well, too. I’m beginning to thing these should be standard for all Canon, but not all of us have iPhones.
Still, some sort of accessory sounds like just what the doctor ordered.

04 Sep 10 Stealth Armor gives your iPhone or iPad more color
This is StealthArmor, which is very similar to Colorware for the iPhone 4, BlackBerry, and iPad.
StealthArmor now has a skin for the iPhone and iPad with carbon fiber, which is available in red, pink, blue, yellow, orange, purple, and green.
I don’t have a price on this, but according to the Press Release on my Source states that shipping is flat rate of $6. That probably doesn’t help.

04 Sep 10 Boston.com Photo App comes to the iPad
This is a shot from Boston.com, an award winning photo blog with some very neat photos put there everyday.
It is now available for the iPad, and it gets new entries that are posted Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. You can view the photos in landscape mode for “optimal viewing and easy navigation”.
Version 2.0 has product enhancements like social sharing, and can be purchased for $2.99 on the iTunes App store. It doesn’t look similar to other photo apps like Photo Aquarium, Flex Photo Lab, or the Travel Photo Guides App.

04 Sep 10 Shazam comes to the iPhone
This is Shazam, and it has nothing to do with Captain Marvel. It recently came to the Android OS with Encore and Freemium.
It has now come to the iPhone, with an update to 3.0.0. It is most famous for identifying songs. This version has some iOS4 optimization, tag on startup, 30 second iTunes previews of the songs that are tagged.
You can preview music by listening to 30 second clips and Tag Results, Tag Chart, and Recommendations.
You should be able to get this for $4.99 at the iTunes store. It looks comparable to VEVO and MoodTunes.

04 Sep 10 Camangi announces two Android tablets
It has been a while since we reported on Camangi and its Webstation. They are now working on two Android-powered tablets that look like they are in competition with the Samsung Galaxy Tab.
The tablets in question are the Camangi II and the FM600, but not much is known of the sequel to the Camangi. Here is what we know about the FM600.
It has a 600MHz Qualcomm processor, 7-inch 800 x 480 capacitive touchscreen display, 512MB RAM, 512MB ROM, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi b/g, VGA front-facing camera, 3 Megapixel rear-facing camera, accelerometer, compass, and SIM card slot.
I don’t have a price of availability date on these as yet.

04 Sep 10 Android device and NES controller
I’m sure that all old school gamers will appreciate this. It is essentially an NES controller modded onto an Android powered device. And you thought the Wiimote with Android was cool.
It takes a while before you see him actually get to play Super Mario Brothers 3, and it makes me wonder how he got it on there in the first place. To get the NES controller on there, he used a breakout board, Arduino, and a blueSMIRF module. This is much more Super Mario Brothers than you would get from the Live Wallpaper.
I would love to see more applications like this.

03 Sep 10 Samsung put the I5510 Phone on display at IFA
Samsung sure had a lot to boast about with putting their Galaxy Tab on display, but this I5510 phone was probably ignored. Especially with the Samsung Wave 723 being there too.
It plans to be powered by Android 2.2, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth 3.0, Wi-Fi, UMTS, 5 megapixel camera, and a microSD card for memory expansion.
This mid-range device should be available at an undisclosed date for about $256. It reminds of when the Samsung B3410 appeared at last year’s IFA.

03 Sep 10 NASA HD iPad App
This next App is for the iPad, and definitely for “Space freaks”. I’m not talking about Vader Yourself or Captain Galactic.
It comes from NASA, the people that brought space to us. The App has thousands of images, videos, as well as Live Streaming of NASA TV. There are a lot of interesting info on here like Mission Information, Countdown clocks, Facebook Connect and Integrated Twitter client for easy sharing. The App looks similar to the one that does the lunar surface.
Presumably, there are maps of the solar system as well. It is definitely educational, and you can get it for free at the iTunes site.

03 Sep 10 Motorola Droid 2 R2-D2 edition has its own themed dock
We have reported on the R2-D2 edition of the Droid 2 that showed up on September 30th, and it now it has its own special dock.
It has an etched circuit board effect where the Droid 2 sits, and there is the Star Wars logo on it too. Considering what it looks like, the dock seems to be a very good match.
I don’t have a price or availability date, you would think that this Star Wars accessory for the Droid 2 would want to be available ASAP.

03 Sep 10 How to get cell phones into prison: Bow and Arrow
Remember how we talked about the Berkeley Varitronics Wolfhound cellular phone detector? It is a way to sniff out cellular phones amongst prisoners.
Which leads to the question of how cellular phones get into the prisons in the first place. Well, in the case of this Brazilian gang, it is a local teenager who shoots them with a bow and arrow.
Sadly, a prison guard was hit in the back with one of these cell-phone tipped arrows. Fortunately, the guard was not injured.
This teen could be the next Green Arrow.

03 Sep 10 Samsung Galaxy Tab gets exclusive Kobo e-reader software
We have reported the Samsung Galaxy Tab, and how they will get Kobo e-reader.
It already is getting an Kobo e-reader which is available on WebOS, BlackBerry, and iPhone. Kobo is able to offer much more books than iPad, and this one is specifically designed with the Tab in mind.
In the meantime, if you want a Kobo e-reader stand alone device, then you might want to consider it, as it has just received a price-cut.
Just another reason why this Samsung Galaxy Tab could be really making a big splash.

03 Sep 10 iPhone coming to Germany with Vodafone and O2?
For some reason, there seems to be a lot of rumors about T-mobile and the iPhone. First is was coming to the carrier on July 30th, but the $350 trade-in was true, I think.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Vodafone and O2 are apparently going to get in on the Apple iPhone deal in Germany, and negotiations have reached an “advanced stage.
So, is this going to be some sort of deal going on? Who knows. We will wait and see.
