Overclocking is the computer geek equivalent to souping up a Hot-Rod. Both go fast, but in different ways. A few months back we heard that the new Motorola Xoom Android Honeycomb tablet had been overclocked to 1.5GHz, and now someone has broke that threshold, with a speed of 1.6GHz.

The guys over at the XDA are the ones who did it. They have managed to get the Xoom’s processor up to 1.6GHz and guess what. That extra clock speed helped the Xoom score over 4000 in the Quadrant benchmark app, compared to around 1500 in the Xoom with its standard clock speed. Yeah. Not a bad boost at all.

Sharp’s new AQUOS PHONE IS11SH is a female friendly phone capable of 3D graphics. The phone runs on Android 2.3 OS and has a 3.7-inch 960 x 540 pixel display, an 8.5 megapixel CMOS camera, mobile wallet service, mobile TV, and infrared data transmission.

The image tells the whole story. This one is targeted at young Japanese women. There is also a slide-out keypad, making typing those texts a lot easier. As a male, I just want to take this oppotunity to say “Ewww”.

Motorola and Verizon have been teasing us for a while now with the handset and now they have decided to make the Droid X2 official. The 4.3-inch Android 2.2 phone will be upgraded to 2.3 and also features a qHD screen resolution and a dual-core 1GHz processor. The 8 megapixel camera has continuous autofocus and HD video recording in back as well. Every bit of it now official.

The X2 will cost you $200 on contract and will be available to buy online…drum roll please… tomorrow. It will hit stores a week later, on May 26th. Judging by the close proximity of the USB and HDMI ports on the side of the new X2, we wonder if there is a laptop and multimedia dock in it’s future.

The new Motorola Droid X2 should go on sale later this month much to our delight and maybe it will happen on the rumored date of May 26th, next Thursday. So if you are waiting and want to acquaint yourself with the device, the Droid X 2 manual has appeared online on Motorola’s support site and it confirms some of the new Droid X2′s specifications.

To refresh your memory the Motorola Droid X2 will feature a dual core 1GHz processor, a 4.3 inch qHD display with a resolution of 960 x 540 pixels, and an 8 megapixel camera.

We love Batman gadgets around here and here is the latest in flash drive form. It’s called the Bat Stick and is a 4GB flash drive shaped like the “Bat-Mobile”. Looks more like the Bat-Boat if you ask us.

It’s made from recycled stuff, so that’s cool. Better get this guy quick though. Only a single unit was created, using a broken Batman toy, some tape, some glue and a memory stick. It will cost you $40 on Etsy.

Those of you in the UK who are eager to get your hands on the first 7-inch BlackBerry device have just under a month to wait. UK retailers have now unveiled the date and prices for RIM’s PlayBook. It will cost you £400 (16GB), £480 (32GB), or £560 (64GB) for your tablet, starting on June 16th. That’s not too long of a wait.

Is your own watch feeling a bit too practical? Not silly enough? Well, if that’s the case, check out the Eole watch concept from designer Julien Moise. This watch is powered by blown air, displaying the time only when you want to see it, thereby saving battery power.

It’s easy to say that this watch blows, but the truth is it’s a neat concept to conserve battery life. Even so, you will look pretty damn silly blowing for the time. The only thing that could make it worse would be if it made a kazoo type noise with each blow. There’s also a weather indicator and alarm function.

A leaked photo of the new Sony Nex C3 showed up awhile back and now we can share some of it’s specifications, like a new 16.2 megapixel Sony Exmor sensor for starters. Aside from that the Sony NEX C3 is said to have an ISO range of 200 to 12800 and is capable of recording HD video in 720p. There is also a new menu interface and a bunch of new picture effects.

Other features include 25 AF points, a 1/4000 top shutter speed, a 3 inch LCD display and a built in HDR function, as well as face detection and an improved battery life compared to the previous Nex models. Sounds pretty sweet, but how much will it cost?

Logitech hopes to move a whole lotta units of its Google TV hardware by dropping the price of the Revue to $199 at Amazon. The $100 price drop is likely to help make a path for future hardware based on Android 3.1 and it also makes this the least expensive Google TV hardware yet.

It may also have to do with much lower than expected sales and they are hoping to make sales jump in the next several weeks. The device should be upgradeable to Android 3.1.

Well we already suspected as much, but Ubisoft’s CEO Yves Guillemot mentioned that his teams will be able to use a lot of the work done on titles for the current HD consoles when developing for Nintendo’s new platform. Guillemot says, “So we will not have to redo completely the games that we create. We’ll be able to use all the capacity the console is giving but also use all the work we do for the other platforms.”

Good news for them and it’s not a surprise, but it does confirm that Nintendo’s next console will be as powerful or more powerful than the current generation of HD consoles. Yes, it should be a great console. Then again these are the same people who released the Wii with only 480p, so who knows.

That DS Lite above looks pretty genuine right? That’s what the buyer thought too when he purchased it on eBay. When he opened the package he knew something was wrong. The corrugated cardboard box was the first suspicious giveaway. Then on the back of the box there was pixelated English text.

When he opened the package he found that yes it was a fake, however, it still played DS and GBA games in their proper slots. The surface of the system has some small pockmarks, which is not up to Nintendo’s high quality assurance standards and the inner bezel is also discolored.
