Samsung SPH-B5200: Next Generation Cell Phone Gaming

While I’m not a gadget guru (I leave that to cool people like Jayvee), the Samsung SPH-B5200 is looking pretty darn cool. The Samsung SPH-B5200 is a merger between cell phone and PSP-like technology, and some are saying that it may one day dominate the portable gaming market.

IGN’s Thoughts on the Nintendo Revolution Controller

With it came Eye Toy: Kinetic, which means I spent part [...]

Sony’s Sexual Advertising Side
