Ok, so the iPhone isn’t the perfect cell phone, as you can tell by my review. It does need some improvements. So therefore, here are 10 things the iPhone/iPod touch need to make them a better mobile experience. 1. Adobe Flash Support:So much of the web today, especially Web 2.0 content, is fueled by Adobe’s…

The iPhone 3G. Many consider it to be the ultimate cell phone. Perhaps that’s stretching it a little bit. It wasn’t too long ago that an Apple exec declared that cell phones usually sell for nothing because that’s what they’re worth. In 2007, rumours of an iPod Phone began appearing and in the summer of…

It’s been a bit of a roller coaster ride for Sony’s Playstation Portable. The portable console was first introduced in 2005 to much fanfare. From a technical standpoint, the PSP is the best system to date with its robust and powerful graphics system that plays games at near PS2 quality, plus the gaggle of Internet…

Mirror’s Edge is probably one of 2008’s most anticipated titles for the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3. The game is being published by the infamous EA but has been developed by Sweden based DICE. They are one of EA’s more reputable development teams who was behind the popular Battlefield series. Over the years, Electronic Arts…

I’ve always been curious as to how my old iBook stands up to Apple’s latest and greatest systems to see if it really is worth it to plop down $1000 for a new system. Register Hardware did some Xbench comparisons of the 2006 MacBook Pro 1.83, 2007 MacBook 1.83ghz, the early 2008 1.6ghz MacBook Air,…

Xbox fanboys like to refer to Sony’s console as the Delaystation. It’s true that stuff for the console frequently suffers delays. However, I’d rather have a game delayed and end up with a quality product rather than have it released on time and end up with a piece of trash, which frequently occurs with PC…

This is going to be a quick review about the much anticipated Motorstorm 2, dubbed Pacific Rift. The first Motorstorm, released in 2007, was one of the Playstation 3’s earliest hits and with good reason. Unlike a lot of early PS3 titles, Motorstorm was a good game that could really show off the system’s power….

It’s been quite a while since Sony has updated the firmware for the PSP and PS3. I’m just going to blatantly copy and paste what was written on the official PS Blog. There is no word on when the update will go live but it will likely either be this Wednesday or the next one…

I think we’ve long suspected this. The Universal Media Disc has not been an astoundingly successful component of the PSP. As mobile storage formats go, optical discs are far from being ideal. While UMDs can store a lot, they were plagued by slow load times and are bulkier compared to Nintendo DS flash cards. At…

Windows users, or at least those who are technically inclined, like to keep their systems locked up like Fort Knox. I know my Windows desktop is. Mac and Linux users don’t really have this issue. Why is that exactly? Macworld has an interesting article on the subject as to why Windows has a much higher…
