Xperia Play, Schmaschmeria Play — who needs it? Fructel’s got an Android add-on that does away with Sony Ericsson’s slider niche. The folks over at Pocket Gamer recently got hands-on time with this category-quashing controller, dubbed Gametel, that connects to handsets using clamps and a rubberized grip, no matter your mobile manufacturer of choice. Unfortunately, there’s no analogue pad here, so it’s not quite on par with its PlayStation Certified competition, but it will hold hands over Bluetooth with any Googlefied phones running Froyo and up. The unreleased peripheral includes a 250mAh battery, letting you bash away with those sore thumbs for up to nine hours at a time, your phone’s charge willing. There’s no official word on just when you can expect this game pad to make its market debut, but if you’re really eager, head on over to the source to sign up for launch notifications.

Gametel Android controller steals the spotlight from Xperia Play, threatens to be vaporware originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 17 Nov 2011 22:33:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

We’ve already seen leaked images of the Olympus E-PL2, the much talked about follow up to the E-PL1. The Micro Four Thirds is expected to boast a new 14-42mm f/3.5 – 5.6 kit lens, a ‘direct movie’ button, a high-resolution 3-inch display, and an optional Bluetooth model. From the new image above, however, we can see that there will also be an optional ‘Medusa’ version of the cam with a closeup spotlight for all those insane macro shots you’ll undoubtedly be taking. The adjustable LED will also not require an extra battery, so this is one add-on we’ll definitely be seriously considering.

Entelligence is a column by technology strategist and author Michael Gartenberg, a man whose desire for a delicious cup of coffee and a quality New York bagel is dwarfed only by his passion for tech. In these articles, he’ll explore where our industry is and where it’s going — on both micro and macro levels — with the unique wit and insight only he can provide.

When Apple refreshed the laterst version of the iPod nano, the combination of the square form factor, touch display, clip and cool clock app made me think it would make a great watch. I was not alone. I’ve already seen a number of vendors scrambling to create straps and wrist cases for the nano. While Apple stopped well short of calling it a watch replacement, there’s no doubt Cupertino will be looking carefully to see if there’s an iWatch in your future.

From Microsoft’s Smart Personal Object Technology devices to watches that ran Palm OS, vendors have tried and failed to push high-tech watches every few years. I personally think the watch space and the larger invisible space hasn’t been exploited properly beyond the core feature of telling time. Here’s why.

Happy Comics Release Day! I was inspired to re-read The Golden Age after watching a two-part Smallville episode, “Absolute Justice,” which featured the Justice Society of America, DC’s Golden Age superheroes. Cover to the Trade Paperback of The Golden Age Summary: It’s 1945, World War II is over and the masked heroes of DC’s Golden Age have mostly retired and returned to their civilian lives. Some of them are broken, like Paul Kirk, the Manhunter, who is suffering from memory loss from a traumatic event in Germany at the end of the war. One, Tex Thompson, refuses to fade into obscurity and instead becomes a popular United States Senator with his eyes on the Oval Office. And, yet, Johnny Chambers, the former Johnny Quick, believes something isn’t quite right. The victory over the Axis should be leading to a new Golden Age but instead seems to be leading to something worse. His fears, like those of broadcaster and former Green Lantern Alan Scott, are centered around the House Un-American Activities Committee and Thompson’s increasingly strident anti-Soviet rhetoric. What Kids Will Like About It: My kids tend to favor quick pacing and lots of fighting n their superhero comic. This story is more of a brooding mystery. It does have some wonderful action sequences, particularly when Manhunter takes on a car of thugs while the car is crossing a covered bridge, and there’s a terrific battle royale at the end. But I don’t think younger kids will enjoy this book that much. Older ones, particularly those interested in comic history, will likely be drawn into the mystery of why Thompson is behaving the way he is and why he’s intent on creating a superhuman that no one can defeat. What Parents Will Like About It: It’s a fine story. I re-read Golden Age last night in preparation for the spotlight and got caught up in it again. Johnny Chambers’ first person narration gives it a noir feel, though good does triumph over evil in the end, despite some serious losses and sacrifice. As for who is behind Thompson’s new prominence and the need to create a Superman, well, the reveal is excellent. For those familiar with some of the Golden Age heroes from reading Justice Society of America comics over the years, the story is also a great trip down memory lane. Robinson, who also handled some of the Golden Age heroes well in his wonderful Starman series, clearly loves these characters. It’s worth noting that Ted Knight’s characterization in Starman and The Golden Age lines up exactly. Best Panel: It’s not too much of a spoiler to say that the heroes win at the end. My favorite panel is the final defeat, with the last blow being struck by a hero who’s been pushed to the background far too often. About the Creators: Despite his love for American superheroes, James Robinson is a British writer. He’s best known for his work with Golden Age characters. Besides this series, first published in 1993, and Starman, Robinson also re-launched the modern JSA title in 1999. And if none of those comics appeals to your kids, check out Leave It To Chance , about a young teenage wizard trying to fight crime with her personal pet dragon. Artist Paul Smith , who co-created Leave It To Chance , has had a long career in comics. I first saw his work on Marvel’s X-Men in 1983. His atmospheric artwork really compliments the mystery in The Golden Age. Colorist Richard Ory also deserves a great deal of credit for the different shadings in the story, especially a sequence as assassins show up in a darkened church. Read the rest of this entry »

The conditions at factories in China are known to be particularly abysmal. A recent report by the National Labor Committee focuses on KYE Factory, which seems to be breaking every rule imaginable. According to worker estimates, Microsoft accounts for the largest proportion of production at KYE, at about 30 percent. Other major corporations outsourcing production to KYE include Hewlett Packard, Best Buy, Samsung, Foxconn, Acer, Wi/IFC/Logitech, and Asus-Rd.
