</center></p>
<p>Catering to users who want to watch High Definition TV without requiring the purchase of new and expensive LCD TVs, ASUS has today released the new ASUS HDTV Suite-HDMI. This standalone TV box provides the ultimate HDTV viewing solution with the highest video quality (1920*1200). Users simply have to connect it with their PC monitors, and they can easily utilize them not only as a Full HD TV set, but also as a multimedia center without the need to turn on the PC.</p>
<p><strong>Enjoy a Visual Feast with Professional CE (Consumer Electronics) Quality HDTV</strong><br />
The ASUS HDTV Suite-HDMI is a professional analog standalone TV box that contains a built-in CE quality TV engine. With the latest technologies that include &#8220;Dynamic Deblocking™”, &#8220;Dynamic Anti-flicker Brightness Adjustment&#8221;, &#8220;Advanced 3D Comb&#8221; and &#8220;Flesh Tone Correction&#8221;, it is able to display high-quality video signals to bring about sharper and clearer images that traditional video processing cannot achieve.</p>
<p><strong>ASUS Hardware Splendid Video Intelligence Technology</strong><br />
Video playback from PCs pale in comparison to TVs because most PCs do not come with the image-processing units commonly found in consumer electronics display devices. The ASUS HDVT Suite-HDMI, however, is built with an advanced hardware visual optimization innovation – the ASUS Splendid Video Intelligence technology. This cutting-edge technology can help analyze data read from various media and fine-tune colors that are favorable to the human eye – creating images and colors that are more vibrant, lifelike and vivid.</p>
<p><strong>Easily Transform PC Monitors into High Quality Multimedia Display Centers</strong><br />
Besides able to display the high quality TV experiences mentioned above, users can also connect their gaming consoles like the PS3, PS2, Xbox360, Xbox or Wii; or even DVD players to the ASUS HDTV Suite-HDMI’s high quality video transmission input (HDMI, YpbPr, S-Video or Composite) to enjoy superb multimedia entertainment on their HDMI, DVI or VGA monitors. With numerous plug-n-play connection options, the ASUS HDTV Suite-HDMI transforms the PC monitor into a high quality video and audio multimedia display center.</p>
<p><strong>Highest 1920 x 1200 Visual Quality with 16:10, 4:3 or 16:9 Full-screen Support</strong><br />
Regardless of the PC monitor&#8217;s dimensions (from15&#8243; to 24&#8243; or larger) or resolution (from 1024&#215;768 to 1920&#215;1200), the ASUS HDTV Suite-HDMI utilizes innovative technology to help improve visuals to 1920&#215;1200 high resolution quality experiences.<br />
<strong><br />
Fashionable ID design and Intuitive Touch-sensitive Control Panel</strong><br />
Meeting the trend of simplistic style in home entertainment products, the ASUS HDTV Suite-HDMI combines optimum performance with a modern ID design. The artful ID design combines with the built-in touch sensor control panel for a functional yet aesthetically pleasing outlook.</p>
<p><strong>Enjoy Convenience with User-friendly Utilities</strong><br />
With no software installation required, users simply have to connect the ASUS HDTV Suite-HDMI to their TV/video source and the PC monitor, and they are ready to go! The convenient Picture-in-Picture (PIP) function allows surfing the Internet and watching TV or playing console games at the same time. Additionally, users will be able to enjoy total entertainment convenience with the bundled full-function remote control and On Screen Display – which allows changing channels, selecting source inputs and menu selections without even getting off the couch!<br />

<p>Nintendo&#8217;s Wii is getting a lot of credit for bringing video games back to the whole family.  Game consoles have often had a couple titles aimed at girls, but they were often cloying and not nearly as good as what you could call the more male-oriented games.  In the mid 90&#8217;s, Casio tried to re-enter the console market (they made a disastrous bid in the early 80&#8217;s) with a console aimed and 100% expressly marketed to girls.</p>
<p>Casio_loopy_3_2 Only 11 games were ever released for the Loopy, and there&#8217;s only one controller port - so sisters are doin&#8217; it for themselves.  Most titles were &#8220;Otome&#8221; games - dating simulators - gameplay  leads the characters through in-game romances.  The most distinctive feature of this console is the built-in sticker printer that lets the player generate screenshot labels with text.  There was also a capture accessory that could grab a picture from VHS or DVD and output that as a sticker as well.<br />

</center></p>
<p>Logitech  the world’s leading developer of force feedback gaming wheels, announced the Logitech® Driving Force™ GT racing wheel, the official wheel of Gran Turismo™. Featuring powerful force feedback and an innovative 24-position real-time adjustment dial for on-the-fly control of brake bias, traction and damper settings, the Logitech Driving Force GT gives gamers the most accurate and authentic PLAYSTATION 3 (PS3™) racing experience.</p>
<p><em>“We’re excited to be working with Polyphony Digital again to deliver a wheel that will satisfy the needs of car enthusiasts, like me, around the world,”</em> said Ruben Mookerjee, Logitech’s director of product marketing for gaming. <em>“People who love the striking realism of the Gran Turismo racing series will discover that Logitech’s latest wheel will allow them to experience the cars the way they were meant to be driven. With the Logitech Driving Force GT, you’re not playing games anymore – you’re racing!”</em></p>
<p>Logitech’s latest racing wheel was meticulously designed by Logitech and Polyphony Digital, Inc., the developer of the Gran Turismo series. The companies worked together to add the unique real-time adjustment dial, a first for force feedback wheels, allowing people to fine tune the car’s balance by adjusting the brake bias, traction control and damper settings. Now Gran Turismo drivers can have precise control over the car’s setup to achieve maximum performance.</p>
<p>The Logitech Driving Force GT turns 900 degrees lock-to-lock allowing drivers to navigate hairpin turns with greater accuracy. And with anti-backlash gearing, there is no slack in the steering response, making any race a smooth, realistic experience. In the centre of the 11-inch wheel, the Driving Force GT features an illuminated horn button with the official Gran Turismo logo. Using the authentic sounds of the car being driven, racers can quickly alert other cars when they are approaching fast. Or when playing online, people can simply use the horn to taunt other players as they speed by.</p>
<p>The Logitech Driving Force GT wheel is engineered for use with Gran Turismo 5 Prologue on PS3, which will be available on Blu-ray Disc™ (BD) and as a download on the PLAYSTATION®Network in North America on April 17 and in Europe on March 28. The Logitech Driving Force GT wheel is also compatible with Gran Turismo™3 and Gran Turismo™4 on the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The internet is abuzz yet again about the PSP Phone. The rumor-that-won&#8217;t-go-away makes a return in this supposed magazine scan, which displays the supposed device. The image illustrates how both gaming and phone calls would work in this effort by Sony Ericsson.</p>
<p>For those of you new to the loop, the existence of the Playstation phone has been hinted at and repudiated several times already, but a couple of days ago the rumour mill started grinding after somebody found mention of the device in a box-out in Sony Magazine.</p>
<p>The picture above is the most recent development, and, alas, a mock-up. A fake. A phoney. The Playstation phone may or may not be coming, but it almost certainly won’t look like this.<br />

<p>GPS manufacturer Garmin sprang out of left field on Wednesday with an unexpected entry in the mobile phone market that will challenge the iPhone. Garmin’s ambitious Nuvifone will feature a totally touch-based interface, wireless Internet access, a browser along with a host of other Web accoutrements, and of course, GPS.</p>
<p>Garmin’s biggest assault on Apple will come by way of the Nuvifone’s 3.5G Internet access , which promises download speeds significantly faster than the iPhone’s much-bemoaned 2G access. Garmin has also challenged the iPhone’s ease of use with an usual proprietary menu system that presents three initial selections: call, search, and view map, along with a handful of other side options.</p>
<p>GPS features will be similar to Garmin’s standard line of GPS units, but with some ramped up capabilities made possible through Internet access. The Nuvifone will include built-in maps and points of interest, but also integrated Google local search capability. This will allow travelers to find destinations through Google and have them immediately plotted and routed to on Garmin’s own mapping system instead of Google Maps.</p>
<p>As an interesting twist on the more traditional camera phone, all of the photos taken with the Nuvifone’s built-in camera will be geotagged with exact latitude and longitude coordinates. This makes it possible to navigate back to the spot where a photo was taken later, or share on sites like Google’s Panoramio which allows users to to sift through geo-tagged photos using a map interface.</p>
<p>So far, the Nuvifone’s most critical spec, price, still remains a mystery. Garmin anticipates a third-quarter 2008 release for the phone.</p>
