There are many gadgets being unveiled at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, but the one that we (and Sony) should all be keeping a close eye on is the iRiver G10. New pictures and specifications about this device were released today, sporting many features that might make the PSP start shakin' in its boots... or PlayGear Pocket... or whatever your PSP uses for footware. Here's a look:
Windows Mobile 5 Operating System
4 and 8 Gigabytes of storage space
3D Graphics Rendering
WVGA Screen w/800x400 Resolution
WiBro Support (Wireless Broadband, faster than standard WiFi)
It looks slick! I never thought about the slider controls but it totally owns.

Ho Ho No! Santa Worm On Im
By: David A. Utter

Users of instant messaging systems MSN, AIM, ICQ, and yahoo could get smacked with a worm that entices people to click on a link to santa claus.
This gift is one you'll wish you'd never opened. The IM.GiftCom.All worm arriving by those IM systems or over Windows Messenger apears to be a URL linked to a picture of Santa Claus. IMLOgic, which discovered the worm, posted that clicking the URL launches an executable file.
Once the file gets started, it embeds itself into the PC as a rootkit, and scans the registry, file system, and Internet cache.
IMLogic also said the proces hides from antivirus and other system tools that might detect it. The worm also logs keystrokes and may also try to spred itself to other users over IM to usernames it grabs from those services on the infected PC.
While its method of distribution dosen't make it a big threat, the amount of damage it can do to a system caused IMLogic to rate it as a medium threat, a company executative told CNet news.
Users and administrators should ensure they are running the most current versions of their antivirus engines and that signature files have been updated to help repel the threat. Also, people will want to be carful about clicking on links in messages that arrive unexpectedly. Even if they appear ti be from a legitimate messaging buddy.
DSes sold in the US since launch. 1.2 million in December 2004, over 3 million in 2005. PSP? 2.5 to 3 million, depending on who you ask. Added to the 5.2 million to 2.5 million lead in Japan (as of recently), and the DS is cleaning up the handheld race...
I was just thinking about the possability of the next Gameboy using Rev tech. It could possibly replace the need for an analog stick. Do you think Nintendo would use Rev tech in the next Gameboy? What about dual screens and a touch screen? Should the next Gameboy be backwards compatible with the DS?
