FlipStart Shows True Colors, Runs XP
This one gets filed under Duh. The fab FlipStart PC by Paul Allen’s startup company Vulcan, is going to be produced with Windows XP as it’s OS of choice. Smack me into consciousness, because I don’t think I saw that one coming. Paul Allen and a Windows product. Who would’ve guessed?
Ok, I don’t mean [...]
Tapland Reports on Tapwave NEPUG Presentation
Tapland received a special invitation to attend the New England Palm Users Group (NEPUG) this month, since Tapwave VP David Wenning was going to be the month’s speaker. It was an intimate presentation, with under 30 attendees in the room, making it easy for Tapland to capture all the details of the night’s topics. Wenning [...]
Jason: “It’s Good To Be Back”
It took one transmission (which we eventually settled for as one rental car), 9 vanilla cokes, 4 bags of peppered beef jerkey, a bag of twizzlers, 18 cds, 2400 miles across the flatlands, one toddler that was crying if he wasn’t sleeping, one wife that was nagging if she wasn’t sleeping, a very very bad [...]
Buy THIS Bill Gates. Nintendo sees rise in GBA sales">Buy THIS Bill Gates. Nintendo sees rise in GBA sales
Looks like Nintendo is doing just fine. Everyone and their mom had predicted the death of the GameCube but according to this report Nintendo achieved a net income of $202m 96.5 per cent up on Q2 2003’s $103m. Quite a big increase from the Big N. They credit this rise due to slashing the price [...]
$199.99 for the DS? How is that Kid Friendly?
Ouch! Looks like Ebgames is starting to take pre-orders for the Nintendo DS system. But at a price of $199.99 USD how is that kid-friendly? I think that price is way too high for the average gamer. Think about it. The Xbox and PS2 should be around 199.99 not a handheld. What do you [...]
Sony Confirms GT4 Port for PSP
Just as we expected, so much for the “No Ports” push Sony started earlier this year. IGN found out in a recent interview with Kazunori Yamauchi, President of Polyphony Digital, that while Sony is still experimenting with the PSP system and what it can do, GT4 Mobile for the PSP will still most likely be [...]
Turbo XS Dtec Car Tuning Tool for GBA
It’s small, portable, easier to set down than a laptop, and when you’re tuning something like, oh say a car engine with a lot of moving parts, that’s a big deal. So what is it? It’s your very own GBA. The TurboXS Dtec adapter for the GBA that plugs into TurboXS’ Tuner or Tuner [...]
Gizmondo Has Moment of Genius, Realizes Need For Games
Gizmondo realized today that they might need games to succeed, or at least try to succeed. They announced a game development fund to support developers who will take the time to incorporate Gizmonodo’s “advanced” features in to their game, wink, wink. Mostly, I suspect they want to see something done with the GPS since [...]
Our First Retraction: DS Titles Under Development - Not Launch. What is “Launch” anyway?
Wow, the world of journalism. Yesterday we posted the story Nintendo DS Launch Titles - Full List when we were half awake (you may have noticed by the tone of the story alone). We truly apologize for our inaccuracy on the matter. The titles listed are not launch titles, just a list of titles under [...]

(Update/Retraction: This list is not launch titles, rather, it’s a list of titles that are being actively developed for the Nintendo DS system. See our retraction here.)
We know it’s a day old, but for those who come here regularly for DS updates and missed the list elsewhere on the web, here it is: The Full [...]
