BenQ's affordable projector designed for Wii
Crave: The gadget blog —
BenQ describes its MP512ST projector as "designed for the Nintendo Wii ," and by that we assume they mean white, inexpensive, and standard-definition. All the more reason for us to be surprised when this little unit produced a decent picture, albeit not quite at the level found on more-expensive high-definition projectors. Still, for less than $600, or about the price of a bargain-brand 32-inch flat-panel LCD, it's tough to complain. ...

While the Freedom will use several accelerometers for mapping pitch, roll, and yaw, the controller differs from the Wii remote because of something called ultrasonic 3D positioning. Unlike the Wii remote which uses an infrared (IR) lamp for operation, the Freedom will come with two sensors that will be placed on both sides of your display. This set up will enable a more accurate dimensional detection along with more ...

First take: Nintendo DSi

... The X, A, B, and Y buttons aren't as deep, thus they require less of a pressing motion. The same can be said for the L and R rear buttons too--they are now much more springy, and require much less of an effort to engage. Even the select and start buttons have gotten a similar treatment--we found them especially difficult to press with the DS Lite. Moving along to the D-pad, we experienced the same sort of click responsiveness. The DS Lite's D-pad, a carbon copy of the one found on a Wii remote, was a bit looser. The power button has been moved to the bottom left of the ...

The 360 of the future: Project Natal takes a shot at Wii
Crave: The gadget blog —
We love the smell of Natal in the morning. After a bunch of (mostly) expected games, Microsoft's E3 press conference finally revealed something of greater interest and scope: Project Natal, the code-name for their well-rumored motion-sensing bar. Taking a direct shot at Wii users who "sit on the sofa using some kind of pre-set waggle commands," Natal is controller-free, using what looks like a TV-mounted camera/microphone bar to sense motion, sound, and even 3D movement, suggesting that the technology involved is far beyond that of products like Sony's ...
