Well, a new website will be launching on Monday which will help you get even more stuff free. Specifically, the website will allow you to search for free shipping deals on Amazon, eBay, and at over 500 other stores.

SEGA hosted a special event in Midtown Manhattan on Wednesday, where it showed off some of its big upcoming titles. The company gave Geek.com some hands on time with Condemned 2: Bloodsport, Viking: Battle for Asgard, and Superstars Tennis. Read on to find out how SEGA’s Superstars Tennis is stacking up.

It was the first time I got a chance to look at Superstars Tennis, and from the outside, I thought it was just a Wii Sports clone with SEGA characters. That’s the thing about a lot of videogames; it’s very different looking at a game compared to actually playing it.

Wii Sports has a tennis game; it’s true.

Let it be stated for the record that Josh Bomb tienen cojones. The courageous Zune owner took a perfectly good Belkin protective case for the gadget and modded it to make its Zune-ness (Zune-ocity?) more prominent. Unavoidable, even. This is in contrast to weasels like me who rely on protective cases for a certain bit of anonymity.

The proposed LINC phone is an intriguing concept to parse, as it makes claims to both technological and ecological superiority. Basic idea is that you lease your phone instead of owning it. After a year, you send your current handset back to LINC, which builds the phones for easy, automated disassembly to simplify component recycling. You get a sparkly new phone with the latest features and your account settings already transferred. The anti-obsolescence insurance will no doubt be reassuring to geeks, and the built-for-recycling aspect is certainly laudable. (Read the full post about ‘LINC Concept Phone Built to Evolve’…)

We’ve reported on Parrot products before, especially with their new lineup at CES. I was greatly impressed with their new line of picture frames, and I finally had a chance to try out one of their newest: the DF7220. The DF7220 is a complex piece of hardware, yet is simple to use. All I had to was plug the frame in an ordinary wall outlet, and it was ready to download pictures. Then I plugged in the USB into frame and transferred the files from a computer with a simple Cut and Paste procedure. There is also the option of downloading via Bluetooth from a mobile phone or camera. According to the official record of the product, the frame can hold 300 photos.

Is it just me or does anyone else think that this USB Hub with Clock and Mood Light look like the mac mini? The design of the USB Hub with clock and mood light is a blend of functionality and simplicity. It is a multi-function USB hub featuring an integrated 7-color mood light. The 7 soft colors will start to illuminate by taking turns the moment the device is powered. It also doubles up as a desk-based alarm clock, waking you up from your afternoon nap and reminding you that there are just three more agonizing minutes to 5 before you can take off from the office. The time display is backlit as well for your convenience. The USB Hub with Clock and Mood Light retails for $16 from Brando. T (Read the full post about ‘USB Hub with Clock and Mood Light’…)

Posted Feb 29th 2008 10:35AM by Darren MurphFiled under: GPS Though it’s hard to see where Clarion’s NAX973HD fits in between in-dash units installed at the factory and portable navigators, we suppose folks already drawn to a dedicated display or totally infatuated with this thing’s software may be in love. Marketed as a nav system that will churn out directions in Europe much quicker than those disc-based systems, this unit features a 30GB internal hard drive, 12-channel GPS receiver, built-in gyro sensor / RDS-TMC tuner for traffic information, pre-loaded NAVTEQ maps of 30 countries, voice recognition / text-to-speech capabilities, 2D / 3D map views and a VGA output to boot.
