Nothing Like A Pissed Off Prime.... New Transformers 3 Trailer

With the last Transformers movie sucking so badly, I really didn't have very high hopes for the third installment. Hopefully some of the internet buzz about this movie is true, and it at least sucks a little less than Transformers 2.

Well this trailer has given me a little more hope....

Green Lantern ComicCon Trailer

Well here is the ComicCon trailer for the Green Lantern that gives me a ray of hope that this movie won't suck. I still have my doubts, but at least it somewhat looks good.

Well, at least the trailer is worth your time.

First Green Lantern Trailer Hits The Net

I still remain skeptical on this one, but the trailer does look promising (how many times have I said that before). Ryan Reynolds doesn't exactly instill confidence that this will be a good movie, as the only thing I liked him in was 'Smokin' Aces' and he didn't carry that movie.

Oh well...... I guess summer of 2011 will tell the tale...

Apple Rolls Out The New iPod Family

Most of the smart phones like iPhone, Android, and even Blackberry can play MP3 music. But if you're still all about having a dedicated MP3 device, Apple is still showing you love with the announcement of the new iPod Touch, iPod Nano, and shuffle.

The Shuffle has gone back to the buttons, but still caries voiceover features from the previous version. The Shuffle will also have a 15 hour battery life.

The iPod Nano has gotten the biggest physical change. Gone are the buttons, replaced with a multi-touch screen. It is 46% smaller and 42% lighter and still has FM radio, Nike+ support, and a pedometer. All this with 24 hours of battery life and it comes with a clip for the runners out there. Downside..... Gone is the video capability and with such a small screen, a touch screen seems a little silly.

The iPod Touch gets a face lift with the new retina display with the 326ppi resolution that the iPhone 4 has and is .33 inches thinner than the previous model. It comes with a HD camera that's able to shoot 720p video, and has a front facing camera for Facetime with other iPod Touch or iPhone 4 users. Apple also incorporated the A4 chip that's in the iPhone 4 along with the 3-axes gyroscope, all wrapped in iOS 4.1. Apple claims over 40 hours of audio along with 7 hours of video.

The new iPod family will hit the streets next week, along with the new iOS 4.1 download.

Apple representatives are standing by to take your order right now....... Hurry before they run out.

Yeah, right!

'Batman: Arkham City' Teaser Trailer Is In The Wild

If you've not played 'Batman: Arkham Asylum' you're doing yourself an injustice. The game is more than a button mashing beat 'em up like you might think a Batman game would be. It makes you use your brain to get through some of the most interesting situations that the Joker has dreamed up. With one of the most rich and entertaining story lines, Batman is forced to deal with an uprising within Arkham Asylum which is all of course all orchestrated by the Joker.

Well it looks like the second installment is about to expand the scope a little bit more.
I'm officially excited!!!

Take a look at the teaser trailer......

Holy Crap!!! Comic-Con 'Thor' Movie Trailer Looks Great

The Comic-Con trailer of the upcoming 'Thor' movie looks very promising!!!

Take a look before it's gone.

Mortal Kombat Movie Short Get A More Grown Up Look

I never had much for the Mortal Kombat video games, or movies for that matter. The characters seemed a bit silly and dumb, and the games nor movies ever really explained how or why they developed into "silly and dumb".

But this short pitch trailer had more plot and intrigue then all of the video games and movies ever made with the Mortal Kombat name combined. The short film was created to pitch to Warner Bros who are looking to reboot the franchise. Actors Jeri Ryan as Sonya Blade and Michael Jai White as Jax gives the film a little more weight, and the R-rated feel of it certainly makes it more grown up.

If this is the direction that WB is looking to take the Mortal Kombat franchise, I'm all for it because this short film is just what is needed to breath life into it.

Thanks to Fred for this.....

Why So Serious? Joker iPad

I'm not a big fan of the iPad simply because I really don't have a lot of use for it. But this $16 vinyl iPad sticker of the Joker just speaks to me, and says "yes, you are crazy for buying me".

I so want one!!!

Leaked Photos Of The New iPhone 4G?

Well it's iPhone season, and the rumors and fake photos have started to make their way out to the net. But it seems that Engadget has come up with some legit shots of the new 4G iPhone, and I have to say that it looks very cool. Apparently these photos came from the same source (Apple testbed) that had photos of the prototype iPad, and those turned out to be real. So it goes without saying that these photos seem to also be real and authentic.

The source also confirms that the new iPhone does have a higher resolution screen on-board, a front-facing camera, a higher resolution camera with flash, and takes MicroSIM cards. I'm a little skeptical about the MicroSim card, but I was expecting the front-facing camera and higher resolution screen and camera.

June can't get here fast enough!!!

First 'Gears Of War 3' Trailer Is Out........ Oh My!!!

More Gears of War 3 Videos

The first "Gears of War 3" trailer has made it to the net, and it has everything that you could hope for.

Drama, action, haunting music, and lots of shooting!!!

If you've played either of the first two games, I'm sure that you're as exited as I am about this final conclusion to the epic Gears series. Seems like the marketing team is sticking to the same formula that gave Gears its haunting feel..... Check the first 'Gears of War" trailer out below:

Rumor Alert: Two New iPhones This Year?... One For Verizon?

Here is one of the most credible iPhone rumors that Verizon customers may be interested in. According to the Wall Street Journal, Apple is in the process of developing two new iPhones for release this year. The summer release of the iPhone 4.0 isn't a shock to anyone, but a new iPhone that runs on CDMA— which is Verizon and Sprint's network of choice is said to be set for release later in the year.

This change in plan is said to be because Apple realized Verizon's upgrade to LTE (4G Network) would take longer than expected. Previously Apple was set to release their 4G LTE iPhone to Verizon next year, but delays have set that plan back.

This seems to be good news to Verizon customers who have been waiting for the iPhone, and better news to AT&T customers who love the iPhone but want to jump ship to better service. Of course this is still just a rumor, but it at least is coming from a credible source.

Tron Legacy Official Trailer Is Online

It certainly seems like movie trailer week, as another eagerly awaited sequel movie puts out its official trailer. Tron Legacy has been a long time coming and by the looks of this guy, we are in for a treat.

Of course the trailer could be kick ass and the movie could easily blow, so maybe I should lower my expectations?

Nahhh!!!!

Windows Phone 7 Intros........ Nice!!!

When you mention the name Windows Mobile (doesn't matter what number) you usually get the eye roll from most smartphone enthusiast. Microsoft to say the least has had some trouble keeping up with the Android's, Nexus One's, and iPhones of the mobile world, so it goes without saying that most experts have written off the Windows Mobile line.

That may have to be rethought in light of the introduction of Windows Phone 7!!!

Microsoft is taking a different approach than most mobile failures, as not trying to duplicate what the iPhone does. Instead they have managed to make the iPhone seem old, tired, and nothing more than a color Palm Pilot, which is a great feat. In terms of technical and graphical aspects, this phone has the goods.

Check out the video....... This may be a game changer.

Update: Thanks to insanecrane for the newer and better video!!!

The New iPad!!! So...That's It?!!!

So I'm trying to get my head around Apple's newest addition to their family, the iPad. I think the problem is that I'm not sure how necessary it was, as the functionality isn't anything new. What I mean by that is other than how large it is, how is this product any different than a iPod or iPhone? There is no multi-tasking (which is desperately needed on the iPhone), no camera, no USB support, no HDMI output, and it is isolated to a closed app ecosystem.

Want to run another web browser other than Safari? Too bad!!!

So this is clearly not a Macbook that's a tablet..... It is more like a giant iPod that has some newer functionality. And lets not talk about how you're going to have to type on this thing. Unless you're sitting with your legs together, it doesn't seem to be an easy way to do this.

Yes it does seem like a cool new e-reader but at a $500 starting point, I'm just not sure I would go down that road.

If the iPad had the functionality of a Macbook, then I would be on-board screaming and clapping with the other rabid Mac heads. And perhaps the next iPad v2 will address all the issues that I'm having right now.

But for now....... It's a big ass iPod!!!!

Fourth-Gen iPhone Due Out In April?

I love iPhone rumors!!!

Especially the ones that may be true.

If the latest one is true, we could be looking at the fourth generation iPhone as soon as April. Korea Times is reporting that Apple is looking to launch the new version of the iPhone as soon as possible. This might be in response to the new competition from Verizon's Droid and the upcoming Google phone Nexus One. Typically Apple has set the launch date for iPhones at mid July, but with the introduction of newer (and some that are better) smart phones hitting on the market, it might be forcing their hand early.

Rumor has it that this latest version of the iPhone will bring more sweeping changes, such as a dual core processor (multi-tasking anyone?), OLED screens, a removable battery, 5-megapixel camera with flash, and a live video chat. These type of changes would seem to be on par with how Apple typically does business, alternating one year between hardware changes and another year for mainly software changes.

Here is to hoping that these rumors are true!!!

RedEye Turns Your iPhone/iPod Touch Into Universal Remote

If I hadn't made it clear about how I feel about my Logitech Harmony 670 Universal remote let me say now........ I hate it!!!

Not for the functionality of the remote, because that part is great. But for the buttons alone on this piece of crap, which at the very least is frustrating. Sometimes the buttons register........ sometimes not. But it is enough to make me go back to using the original remote that came with my AT&T Uverse..... That aint good!!!

So with me hearing about ThinkFlood's "RedEye" Universal remote that turns your iPhone into a remote, it certainly had my attention. It's an interesting idea that gives you a multi-touch remote that uses your Wi-Fi to control your home theater. There isn't any bluetooth support as of yet, but the best part of "RedEye" is that it has the ability to update like other apps which could bring that feature soon.

That alone makes it better than any other remote on the market.

The "RedEye" goes on sale today at a pricey $188, but with some of Logitech's remotes costing as much as $400, this might not be a bad price.

If the price does come down, this could be a must have!!!

New 'God of War III' Game Trailer

Here is the latest 'God of War III' trailer from the Tokyo Games Show 2009, and it's gory as ever. The game drops in March 2010, and I would have to say this is the PS3's first real must buy.

Facebook App Gets A Facelift

Alrighty Facebook nuts!!!

If you have an iPhone, go get the new Facebook 3.0 version that’s available now in the app store. The version does say 2.5, but if you download it you will get the 3.0 version. Some really nice changes have been made, adding some much needed features to the app such as the video upload directly from the phone. The developers have also streamlined the look, and made it much easier to use.
