3D Gaming And Video Coming To A Dell and HP Laptop Near You? [Rumor]

Source: http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/gizmodo/full/~3/8bxJxy86Nl4/3d-gaming-and-video-coming-to-a-dell-and-hp-laptop-near-you

I was just thinking that my laptop's screen was way too two-dimensional. Ok, no I wasn't but these rumored 3D laptops from Dell and HP could be pretty freaking cool for 3D games and movies.

The rumor is that Dell and HP have placed orders with Taiwanese manufacturer Wistron for 3D notebooks and they could arrive soon. Acer has been rumored to release a notebook with a 16-inch 3D display as soon as next month. I have to expect 3D technology would add quite a bit to these types of notebooks especially if they use Nvidia's GeForce 3D Vision.

Now I am convinced I would look like a tool wearing 3D glasses in front of my laptop, but I've always wanted to read my e-mail in 3D. [Digitimes]

Ustream Video Streaming Android App Out Now [Android]

Source: http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/gizmodo/full/~3/Pq60yI-ssyY/ustream-video-streaming-android-app-out-now

While the Android app store is still far from the gajillion iPhone mark, some software is better on the former because of Apple's third-party developer limitations. Like the new Ustream for Android, which can broadcast live video to the web.

While on the iPhone version you can't broadcast video straight to the web, the Android version can do it just fine. It's not a hardware limitation. It's just that Apple's politically-driven limits don't allow it.

The Android version of Ustream seems to work great. In fact, according to TechCrunch's test it, it only has a lag time of three seconds over 3G. Can't wait for the first on-the-go Android-based sexcam website. [TechCrunch]

LG introduces XPION X30 Ion-based nettop

Apparently not content to let ASUS have all the fun, LG's just announced the XPION X30, its first Ion-based nettop. This little fella features an Atom N230 CPU, 2GB of RAM, 250GB HDD, and ships with Windows Vista (for the time being, at least). Aside from sporting six (count 'em!) USB ports, it weighs in at a mere 2.4 lbs, draws just 40 watts of power, and can be VESA mounted to the back of your LCD. But never mind all that -- as long is it allows us to stream American Ninja from Netflix with minimal fuss we're happy. Debuts tomorrow in Korea.

Nokia N86 8MP finally available stateside

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/18/nokia-n86-8mp-finally-available-stateside/

It's still showing as a preorder on Nokia USA's own site, but Amazon and the brick-and-mortar flagship stores in Chicago and New York are finally stocking the N86 8MP -- a little bit of a stretch for the "coming weeks" claim made at the North American version's launch announcement back in July. The beefy dual slider features a 2.6-inch QVGA OLED display, US 3G up to 3.6Mbps on the downlink, and WiFi -- but clearly the big draw is its 8 megapixel cam with Carl Zeiss optics around back accompanied by a dual LED flash. We would've liked this last month, but the good news is that it's launching for less than the $558 originally mentioned: Amazon's got it written up at $469, while the flagship stores are apparently hawking 'em for $30 more.

Nokia Booklet 3G hits the unboxing phase of its product cycle

Might as well add your own soundtrack, because chances are, you won't be able to understand what the narrator with a tattoo on his left hand is saying. Not that you really need, as you can probably get the gist of this Nokia Booklet 3G unboxing. We've got blue packaging, a power brick, a "Hello, Hei" greeting just under the portable itself, and a fairly sleek portable to boot. Of course, with a $800 price tag on the outside and an Atom processor on the inside, it's not the most attractive of combinations. See the whole kit and caboodle after the break.

[Thanks, mimo]
