Special Edition Advent Children PlayStation 3 unboxed in all its matte glory

There’s a lot to love about the special edition 160GB Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete Cloud Black PlayStation 3 bundle that was unleashed this week in Japan — a fancy Strife Wolf emblem, a copy of Advent Children Complete on Blu-ray, and a Final Fantasy XIII demo you can’t play anywhere else — but perhaps our favorite part is the console’s matte finish. For us, a smudge-resistant PS3 is well worth the 49,980 yen (US $505) price of admission. 1UP has the unboxing, hit up the read link for more pics.

Dell demos multitouch on the Studio One 19

Dell’s new all-in-one Studio One 19 is due to start shipping soon, and it’s packing some interesting new multitouch capabilities which Dell has been kind enough to demo briefly on video. There’s a new touchable launch bar, which give access to Dell’s own touch-friendly apps (see the second video after the break), though Dell’s Josh Duncan (video one) made sure to reiterate that gestures should carry over to non touch specific apps — which pretty much means Internet Explorer, from what we can tell. Our own experience with Windows 7 multitouch was none too impressive, and Vista’s built-in single touch stuff is even worse, so hopefully Dell’s not just paying lip service to making multitouch a real OS-wide phenomenon. The touch-specific apps like a photo browser and paint app are cute and gimmicky, but at least seem to match HP’s TouchSmart for the most part — plus some multitouch enhancements. What is perhaps the Studio One’s biggest boon to touchability doesn’t even have a thing to do with the screen or software: it tilts back on the stand, giving you a better angle to work with. Check out both videos after the break.

Mobile Connect application for Microsoft Surface

Microsoft has recently unveiled a new application for Microsoft Surface – its multi-touch computing platform currently available only in a commercial and a developer version (priced at $12,500 and $15,000, respectively).   

The application is Mobile Connect and it enables you to connect a Windows Mobile handset to a Microsoft Surface unit, in order to interact with data found both on the phone and on the multi-touch platform. 

For example, you can easily transfer contacts, ringtones, photos and other types of content.

The application is available at the Surface Community website, but for the moment only Community members can download it.

Anyway, here’s the demo video with the new Microsoft Surface application – I’m sure you’ll find it interesting:

Palm Pre Classic emulator demoed on video

Longtime Palm fans are gonna want to lock the doors and turn down the lights — our friends at PhoneScoop just got the first demo of Motion App’s Classic Palm OS emulator for the Palm Pre. Palm OS apps can be installed by just dragging the .prc files over the Pre in mass storage mode, and they’re run as though they were on an SD card. There’s no tethered HotSync, although there’s a compatibility mode of some kind and apps will be able to pull data down over the air. Check the video after the break, including a demo of ePocrates, which we know a lot of potential Pre owners are interested in.

iriver E50 gets unboxed, reviewed

iriver’s E50 PMP has had a bit of a roundabout launch since it first appeared on the scene back in December, but it looks like it’s now finally available in at least a few parts of the world, and the folks at Le Journal du Geek have promptly gotten their hands on one and done the full unboxing and review honors. As was pretty clear from the early shots, this one’s a sleek little device and, while it doesn’t exactly pack a whole slew of features, it looks to perform all the basic tasks with welcome simplicity. On the downside, the 1.8-inch screen apparently leaves a bit to be desired, especially when playing videos and, while the included earphones are a tad better than the usual fare, the sound quality from the player itself is apparently just average. Hit up the link below for the full blow-by-blow account, including a bonus unboxing / demo video.

Violet brings Mir:ror to the States, let the RFID superfluity begin!

While initially enthused at the prospect of RFID tagging our objects for swipability by a home-based RFID reader — like Violet’s new Mir:ror — we eventually came the realization that we would never use it for anything, ever. Still, perhaps that’s just us: Mir:or, which retails for $59, packs two Nano:ztags (the little bunnies with a tag inside) and three Ztamp:s (adhesive tags), allowing you to specify computer functions to trigger when the Mir:ror is approached by one of those RFID tags. A classic usage scenario involves placing your keys on the Mir:ror, with the device letting your computer know if your keys are resting there or not — something potentially achieved by looking at the Mir:ror itself, if you’re into spoilers, but hopefully hackers can put this to better use. Violet also offers tagged children’s books, and a set of 12 extra Ztamp:s, for $8 and $20, respectively. Demo video is after the break.

Dell’s multi-touch Studio One 19 PC makes exclusive debut in Japan

Well, well. Japan just scored an exclusive on this new multi-touch Studio One 19 PC from Dell. The All-in-One “entertainment PC” comes in a variety of colors to match your kitchen decor with specs that max-out on options such as a Core 2 Quad processor, 4GB of memory, 750GB hard disk, 6x USB, integrated 1.3 megapixel webcam, and NVIDIA GeForce 9400 graphics, and Blu-ray player. The 18.5 inch display features a 1,366 x 768 aspect ratio with touch or non-touch glass panels — capacitive or resistive… that’s the question. Prices start at about ¥149,800 which translates to a tax inclusive price of about $1,538 of the green stuff. Hey Dell, how about a shot from the side so we can measure the chub index?

Update: Helloooo chubby sexy! Profile and top-down pictures found (thanks LionelatDell!) and dropped in after the break and into the gallery. Who knew that the display was actually offset-forward from the main slab? Nice. And she sure is curvy.

Update 2: PC World got a demo of the new AIO and reveals a $699 starting price (now confirmed by an official press release) when it hits the US this Spring — a lot more when you start adding the $100 touchscreen option, $200-ish Blu-ray, more memory, etc.
