While the last round of deals included a link for the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer the link never seemed to work. The deal was only available in stores. I managed to grab one as a gift for someone else. I was still up at 4am Friday so I ran over to my local Best Buy. The Transformer was a ticketed item and all of the tickets were gone, but I managed to social engineer a tablet and keyboard dock from a Blue Shirt in a different department without a ticket. I normally wouldn’t go near a store on Black Friday, but $250 for the tablet and $100 for the dock was a very good deal.

Woot! – Turtle Beach Ear Force X31 Wireless Headset for Xbox 360 Just $49.99

MegaZone — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 07:42:52 +0000

A couple of week’s ago Woot! offered the X41s for $79.99. If that was too rich for your blood, today Woot! is offering the Turtle Beach Ear Force X31 Wireless Headset for Xbox 360 for only $49.99 + $5 S&H. You don’t get the Dolby Digital 7.1 Surround Sound and Dolby Pro Logic IIx of the X41s, but you do get Digital Wireless RF transmission and Stereo Expander with Bass Boost to create a wider sound stage. And you save $30, of course. Even better, Amazon sells this $99.99 MSRP headset for $99.00, so you’re’re getting them for nearly half off.

You get support for Dolby Digital 7.1 Surround Sound and Dolby Pro Logic IIx for the best sound whether gaming or watching video on your Xbox 360.

More Game Deals from Amazon – Buy One, Get 50% Off Another

MegaZone — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 05:08:57 +0000

On top of the Back-to-School Event gaming sale I mentioned yesterday, Amazon is running another gaming sale. This time you buy one game and you get another 50% off. There are 186 titles to choose from, for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, DS, PSP, 3DS, PS2, and Game Boy Advance.

Amazon Back-to-School Gaming Event

MegaZone — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 08:33:04 +0000

Amazon knows what students really need when going back to school – games. And so they’re holding a Back-to-School Event with deals on all many of gaming goods. (Why not just call it a sale? Why Event? *shrug*) It is a fairly extensive sale, with 129 items to choose from, split into three categories. There’s Back to School, with 79 items, apparently aimed at the younger crowd. Then Back to College, with 49 items, for the more mature gaming audience. And Accessories, which is just the PlayStation Move Motion Controller and Navigation Controller. The games are for PS2, PS3, XBox 360, Wii, DS, 3DS, and maybe others I didn’t notice.

Spider Phone, Spider Phone, Is the Phone for MegaZone

MegaZone — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 07:43:46 +0000

First off, sorry for that subject. Second, I want this! Well, OK, I really want something very much like it, but still. For years now I’ve been saying I wanted to see exactly this product and no one was making it. I’ve even doodled concepts when talking about it with others, and I swear Korea Telecom somehow got ahold of those sketches and used them as the basis for their new Spider Phone.

While the name is a little strange, the hardware looks very cool. It is an Android smartphone that can become a tablet, netbook, handheld gaming console, or a media set top box. They unveiled the new phone as the just-ended IFA conference in Germany, and the phone itself is quite a little powerhouse. Dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm MSM8260 CPU, 1GHz RAM, 16GB on-board storage expandable by up to 32GB with microSD, 8MP rear camera and 3MP front camera – both with autofocus, Full HD 1080p 30fps video recording, SRS WOW 3D sound, microHDMI and microUSB, and a shockingly high-res display – 4.5″ 1280×800 WXGA. Just as a phone it is at the high end of the Android range. The specs are up there with the Samsung Galaxy S II and the Motorola Droid Bionic, better in some areas.

With the growth in power of smartphones they’ve reached the point where they can legitimately compete with tablets and netbooks, even low end laptops. We’re seeing dual-core CPUs of up to 1.5GHz, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth, 3G & 4G data, etc. The only limitations have been screen size, input mechanisms, and battery life. And to a lesser degree port availability. The phone needs to stay small enough to fit in your pocket and be comfortable in the had.

As I’ve said all over the net for the past few years, the smartphone can be the ‘CPU’ module for other devices. It contains the CPU, RAM, connectivity, primary storage, etc. If you want a larger display in tablet format you ‘dock’ the phone with a tablet sleeve. The sleeve has nothing but the larger screen and a battery. When docked the phone provides all of the brains, and the camera on the back of the phone is now on the back of the tablet. Depending on the design the front camera on the phone could also see through a hole or transparent section on the tablet bezel, or the tablet could have it’s own front facing camera. Connectivity is simple – microUSB for device support and microHDMI for the display. And this is exactly what KT has done.

Want a more productivity oriented system, something like a netbook or laptop, then there are two options. One is an Asus Eee Pad Transformer-style dock where the above described tablet docks with a keyboard base to form a netbook. This is elegant because you only have one larger display. And you could dock everything into one unit for a fairly compact carry – like carrying one netbook.

The other option is actually the one I thought of originally, and that KT is using. Simply another sleeve, a netbook this time of course, in which the phone docks just as with the tablet. KT is doing exactly what I’ve suggested in the past – you dock the phone where the touchpad is on most laptops, in front of the keyboard. The phone *is* the touchpad, and it could even be a small secondary display for custom controls for programs, etc. Imagine doing some editing work with your customized shortcuts available on command on the touchpad display (aka the phone). With modern touchscreens and a stylus it could act as a small digitizing tablet, etc.

What about when you’re done being all productive and just want to relax and frag something? Gaming on smartphones is huge, but most games have been fairly simple, largely due to control limitations. Sony has their PlayStation Phone, but that’s a compromise. You’re carrying around the slide-out controls all the time, and they’re a little cramped. What about a sleeve that turns the phone into a handheld game console that looks quite a bit like a PSP (or maybe an Atari Lynx)? Pop in the phone and take advantage of the CPU and display that a better than any dedicated handheld game system, with controls better than any phone.

Finally, a bit more conventional for today’s smartphones, you can use the phone as a streaming media STB. Connect it to your HDTV via the microHDMI and stream HD video from the phone, online streaming services, etc., right on your big screen.

A couple of blogs have posted videos of the Spider Phone being demo’d at IFA 2011. The first video is from AndroidPIT and the second is from Areamobile. AndroidPIT has several great photos of the phone and sleeves in their post as well.

KT is the only company I’ve seen announce the full suite of sleeves, with a very powerful phone at heart. Before this the closest we’ve come is the Asus Eee Pad Transformer tablet-slash-netbook and the announced Asus Padfone smartphone-slash-tablet. In fact, the Asus Padfone tablet design and the KT Spider Phone tablet design are very similar. If only Asus would combine the Padfone with the Transformer and give it a keyboard dock (perhaps the same one), we’d have two smartphone/tablet/netbook options.

The Spider Phone has a few downsides however, at least from my perspective. The first, and largest, is that it is running Android Gingerbread. Gingerbread is a phone-centric OS and is not optimized for use on tablets, especially larger ones. It has been used on some tablets, but that was really a stopgap until Honeycomb was available. Honeycomb is the tablet-centric version of Android, but it lacks full phone support. So the right release for this would be Android Ice Cream Sandwich, which merges Gingerbread and Honeycomb and runs equally well on phones or tablets. In fact, that’s the version the Asus Padfone will be running. Since ICS isn’t due out until later this year, KT may have decided that launching with Gingerbread was expedient. But I really hope they have plans to upgrade to ICS once it is available. That would really unlock the potential of this hardware.

The other downsides aren’t as substantial, and may well be temporary. But the Spider Phone is currently only slated for the domestic market – South Korea – where it will launch in November or December. KT currently has no plans to release the phone in other markets. The phone is also a GSM device, and I really need something that’s CDMA/LTE for Verizon. (My employer’s corporate carrier.) So I probably won’t end up with a Spider Phone unless they bring it to Verizon in the US, but if they did I’d be sorely tempted even if it meant upgrading out of contract.

I’m just happy to see someone finally building the concept I’ve been pining for for several years. It is encouraging, as it means others may follow suite and that would increase my odds of finally owning such a system.

So, what I really want is something like the KT Spider Phone or an Asus Transformer/Padfone hybrid, available on Verizon with LTE support. Who’s going to build me my dream phone/tablet/netbook?

KT makes it seemingly impossible to link directly to press releases on their site, so here is the one for the Spider Phone:

KT reveals new smartphone All with one ; ‘Spider Phone’2011.09.02
? KT reveals ‘Spider Phone’ turning into various IT devices at IFA in Berlin, Germany
? Solving difficulties in high costs of buying multiple IT devices, complicated usage of each devices and managing data.
? It can also link with ucloud to provide N-Screen service.
? Expecting the device ecosystem cooperating with many manufacturers.

KT(www.kt.com), the leading telecommunication company in Korea, announces that the company unveils Spider Phone, a smartphone that can be turned into various IT devices at IFA (Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin) 2011 Consumer Electronics Fair in Berlin, Germany, from September 2 to 7.

Spider Phone can be connected with various different screens such as tablet PC, laptop and game kit etc. Those devices do not function stand alone, because they are not loaded with neither CPU, OS nor memory. However they do function with physical connection with Spider Phone.

Not only Spider Phone can provide mobile office environment linked with ucloud service but also connect with tablet PC or laptop, which enables to edit and manage documents. Additionally it can give a wide variety of game experiences for users through its 4.5-inch screen and well optimized keys to control the game kit comfortably and easily. Spider Phone will be launched this November developed by KT who started the project last November.

With the launch of Spider Phone, KT expects to solve many issues, including high costs of buying multiple IT devices such as a mobile phone, a laptop and a tablet. Also it can relieve the possible stresses of complicated usage of IT devices such as difficulties in managing data.

The company also stresses that Spider Phone can surmount the small screen problems of smartphone by combining with external kits. KT expects that Spider Phone will help the company and other manufacturers to enhance their global competitive edge based on the phone’s capability to expand into the N-Screen service easily and affordably.

Especially the key sources of hardware and software interface are disclosed, making any company manufacture external kits that can be connected to Spider Phone and ultimately helping promote the industry – Device Ecosystem.

KT plans to pave to create an environment where a single smart phone can control all information and devices around it by even linking with non-IT industry products such as health care devices etc.

Run by Android OS, the phone features a 4.5 inch wide WXGA(1280*800) high-resolution display to offer tablet PC and laptop-like experiences and a 1.5GHz Dual-Core high-performance CPU that allows fast document editing, web browsing, and video playing. Additionally it has large-capacity battery(1710mAh) and Full HD supported camera.

“Spider Phone is an innovative device that can impress the global smartphone market, and I’m sure it will draw a lot of attention at IFA,” said Kyeong-Soo Lee, Executive Vice President of Device Strategy Department, who supervised the development of Spider Phone. “KT has already offered leading companies in Korea to build a new device ecosystem together, and I hope we will get a lot of favorable responses at the event”

KT also presents the ucloud storage service along with Spider Phone at IFA. KT launched ucloud service which for individual users, in July last year, and subsequently ucloud servers, VDI(virtual desktop interface), CDN(Contents Delivery Network) and storage. DB and backup services are under open beta test.

KT’s cloud service features full line-up infrastructure, which cannot be found in any other local competitors’ services. Any service related to IT infrastructure is available, and IT infrastructure can be established over the net within five minutes, which would otherwise take a whole week when using IDC hosting service.

Besides speed, ucloud’s rates and performance are equally impressive. Cloud Harmony, a cloud market research firm, revealed that KT ranked first or second in five performance areas among 20 major cloud service vendors including Amazon and Rackspace.

Save on Handheld Games & Accessories, HDTV, and Blu-ray Players at Amazon

MegaZone — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 09:47:15 +0000

Amazon has a number of promotions running currently. First up, for the handheld gamers, their Summer Roadtrip Handheld Gaming Event. That’s a fancy way of saying save on a selection of 153 Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, and Sony PSP games, and gaming accessories.

More into staying home that road tripping? Well, you can enjoy the stay more with a new HDTV and Blu-ray deck, right?

Save on select Sony HDTVs. There are thirteen 1080p LCD & LED models to choose from, ranging from 32-inch to 55-inch, nine of them 3D.

Save on select Panasonic HDTVs and Blu-ray players. There are two 32″ 720p LCD sets, a 32″ & 37″ 1080p LCD, a 32″ & 37″ 1080p LED, and a 42″ 1080p plasma set, and three Blu-ray players to choose from.

Sony Slashes $50 Off the PlayStation3 Price

MegaZone — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 09:23:12 +0000

Sony has slashed the price of the PS3 worldwide. In the US they trimmed $50, €50 in Europe, and ¥5,000 in Japan. In the US at least that brings the 160GB model to half the price of the 20GB model at launch just over five years ago.

The prices now are ¥24,980 160GB and ¥29,980 32GB in Japan, €249 160GB and €299 320GB in Europe, and $249.99 160GB and $299.99 320GB in the US. The Japanese prices include tax.

I bought my 60GB original model when they dropped the price to $500. No regrets, it’s been an excellent Blu-ray deck – and I even play games once in a while. The PS3 is still one of the best Blu-ray players out there, and they still keep enhancing Blu-ray support in the software updates.

Get Your Game On With Amazon – Buy One, Get One Half Off

MegaZone — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 08:37:22 +0000

It isn’t quite as good as a Buy One, Get One or BOGO deal, but a Buy One, Get One Half Off sale isn’t too bad either. (I thought about writing it BOGOHO, but if you parse that wrong… I’m not sure a BOGO HO is ever a good deal is all I’m sayin’.)

It is pretty simple, buy one of 67 select titles, get another one half off. Of the 67 total titles on offer, 32 are for PS3 and 35 are for Xbox 360. Prices range from $59.99 down to $18.11, and you’re limited to only two games under this promotion, with the discount being applied to the lower-priced of the two. So I’d recommend looking for games of similar price – the higher the price, the more you save. (And the more you spend, of course.)

Have at it.

Deals on Games at Amazon – Brink for $19.99 & Buy One, Get One 40% Off

Next up, they’re running a special – buy one game, get another for 40% off. There are currently 134 games, for both the PS3 & Xbox 360, listed as part of the promotion, which is good while supplies last. Simply add any two games to your cart to receive 40% off – the lower priced game I’m going to presume.

Now through September 3, 2011, if you’re an Amazon Student member and you buy a selected PC from Amazon you’ll receive a free 4GB XBox 360. This sounds like a good deal for those looking for back-to-school hardware, and there is still some time to decide and save up.

The lineup includes models from Toshiba, Lenovo, HP, Dell, Asus, and Acer. There are currently twenty laptop and five desktop models to choose from, with prices ranging from $699.99 to $1,393.99.

Wal*Mart ‘Secret’ Sales On Toshiba HD-A2/A3 HD DVD and 40GB Sony PS3

MegaZone — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 01:20:01 +0000

Wal*Mart is running more ‘Secret’ In-Store Specials tomorrow, Friday, December 7th. One is on the Toshiba HD-A3 HD DVD Player. They’re selling it for $298, with 12 free HD DVDs. Personally, I’d buy it from Amazon for $224.98 with 10 free DVDs and save $73.02, which could buy you a could of HD DVDs with money left over. Hidden in the fine print when you look at the specific sale, Wal*Mart is also selling the older Toshiba HD-A2 for $198, with 10 free HD DVDs. You get five free movies in the store, five more via a mail-in offer, and the HD-A3 has two in the box.

They’re also selling the 40GB Sony PS3 for $399, which is the normal price, but they’re throwing in a $50 Gift Card. So you effectively save $50 since you can use the card on something else.
