Not too long ago, an Australian modchip supplier was supplying a device that allowed gamers to backup their legit game copies to internal or external USB devices and play them from there.
Unfortunately, the success the device has been shortlived. Sony recently demanded that all orders for this device to be cancelled, in which the manufacturers agreed to and promptly the modchip supplier refunded all the paid orders that were queued.
It’s been a tough four years for PS3 Owners wanting to play game backups on their beloved PS3, and when an email from a Modchip Supplier floated across our News Inbox, we thought we’d share it around.
OzModChips, an Australian modchip supplier is currently selling a limited number of “PlayStation Plug-n-Play Jailbreak” devices which, as the name suggests, jailbreaks your PlayStation 3 for use with game backups, while also allowing gamers to dump (legit owned) games to external HDDs or USB Devices and playing them directly off there.
Thanks to the law that passed US Courts earlier this year, a one-tap jailbreak called “JailbreakMe” has been an attractive option for people who are running a iPhone 3G/3GS or that snazzy iPhone 4 with a recent iOS 3.1.x or 4.0.x. What this exploit does exploits a exploit inside the iOS itself that allows code execution, without prompting the user. Just one tap and a few seconds later, you’re jailbroken. This allows your iPhone to be released from Apple’s command, run Android on the device and all sorts of awesome stuff like multitasking, speed boosts, etc. JailbreakMe claims to work on iPhone, iPod Touch and iPads.
Back in 2008, when Google launched Android, it made a wave in the mobile phone market. While the iPhone back then was a improved iPod Touch, Android paled in contrast when it came to the gaming section. Not anymore. According to an article over at Techeld, it is rumored that Sony might be adding Android into the mix, and as the mock picture suggests above, Sony might be able to produce a PSP Go-sized Android phone along with a Game Pad for playing Android and possibly even PSP games.
Recent rumors suggest that the upcoming successor to the Nintendo DS, the Nintendo 3DS will have a price tag of $300 USD (US Dollars).
The price of the console itself in question, was seen on Amazon on a “pre-order” 3DS placeholder item with a price tag of 199.99 GBP (British Pounds), which roughly equates to about $400 AUD – $100 more than the price of the original phat Nintendo DS when it first launched. With the positive feedback the new console has been getting, Nintendo may be raking in the money when it hits the store shelves.
Nintendo has stated that a next-gen console is currently under development, which will be the successor to the Nintendo Wii. Sadly, the big N isn’t going to brag on about the specifications about the new console, and is keeping quiet. Nintendo boss, Satoru Iwada, stated the following quote:
Unfortunately, the history of entertainment is also the history of imitation. If a superb idea comes out, and it’s something you can’t protect with a patent, it will be copied immediately.

About 2 to 3 years ago I’ve purchased a Gigabyte TV USB Dongle U7000, so that i could watch and record live TV on my laptop, which I got the same year. When I unpacked the device, I put it to the test straight away. Installation was a breeze, and no major problems surfaced. The software included allowed me to display my own videos, photos and play music in addition to recording and viewing live TV.

Sleek, yet compact.
Just recently apple has decided to go into the rechargeable battery side of technology products. I have recently purchased this product due to the fact that I’m getting another apple product and I don’t want to use a non-apple product in my Apple Mouse or Keyboard, in case incompatibilities arise.
Google, the creator of the Android operating system, has broken records with over 200,000 android devices being activated every day.
In May ’10, Google was activating over 100,000 android devices per day. When May rolled into June, that number increased by 60,000 to 160,000 android devices per day. Now, in August, that number has hit an all-time record of over 200,000 devices being activated every day.
It seems that this influx of android activation numbers may have been due to Motorola’s massive media event with the much-hyped Droid X smartphone launch, and also the success of the new Samsung Galaxy S smartphone. With Android device shipment numbers beating the iPhone’s shipment numbers, could it be that Android will dominate the phone market this year? It may just be so.
The Android-powered Samsung Galaxy S has got a iPhone pose-mimicking advertisement in a newspaper that a twitter user, under the username of @jmcomms found while reading their local newspaper one day. With Android devices stealing a page out of Apple’s design book now with the iPhone-styled phone shape and 4 button front panel layout (while the iPhone only has the “Home” button on the front panel), it looks like Apple needs to step up to the plate and up their advertising a bit more. Despite considering the issues with iPhone 4, it looks like people who want real performance and don’t mind extra buttons, the Samsung Galaxy S may be a worthy contender for people to make the switch from the iPhone platform on to the Android platform.
