LG Genesis arriving soon on US Cellular

Posted in LG by Conner Flynn on May 5th, 2011

U.S. Cellular would like to keep this a secret, but that’s not gonna happen. It is out of the bag. They have an Android-based LG handset coming soon. A clam-shell, dual-screen Android. AndroidCentral slipped all of the details.

You can expect Android 2.2, a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 430MB internal memory/8GB microSD, and 5-megapixel camera. The front/external display is 3.5-inches (480×800) while the internal is just 3.2-inches (480×800). It’s a unique take on a familiar form factor and that should be the appeal. Price will likely be about $250 with a two-year agreement and $450 outright.

Sonic the Hedgehog motion-controlled mini sega genesis console

Posted in Games by Conner Flynn on November 28th, 2010

This compact game console is shaped like Sonic the Hedgehog’s spiky blue head and plays some classic 16-bit SEGA Genesis games and even comes with Wii-like motion controllers. They are trying super hard here to get your money and they are going to have to try harder if they want mine.

Despite the “110+” claim, the system comes with a total of 40 games. There are 15 classic licensed games, 7 “interactive sports games”, and 18 “arcade games”. The system ships with a pair of wireless controllers, which look like they have traditional D-pads and also motion control.

Lexmark Genesis: An All-in-one Printer that stands upright

Posted in Printers by Conner Flynn on October 17th, 2010

Printers have now learned to stand upright. Maybe soon they will learn to beg for paper as well so they can get an ink treat. This is Lexmark’s first all-in-one printer with an upright design. It’s called the Genesis and it sports a 4.3-inch capacitive color touchscreen display for access to the printer controls and menus.

The Lexmark Genesis also sports a 10-megapixel imaging sensor that enables it to transfer a page from “document to digital” in seconds. It takes just .750 milliseconds after you close its front-facing scan bay, for the CMOS sensor to generate a preview on the 4.3-inch color touchscreen, and 2.2 seconds after that, it’s scanned a full 4800 x 1200 image.

RetroN 3 game console plays all those NES, SNES, and Genesis games from your youth

Posted in Games by Shane McGlaun on July 7th, 2010

Back in the day, I played a lot of games on the Nintendo, Super Nintendo, and the Sega Genesis. I think a bunch of people out there probably have the games and controllers lying around, but the consoles are broken.

Hyperkin has unveiled a dirt cheap game console that will play cartridges from the SNEs, Genesis, and the Nintendo game system. You can finally get some use out of those old gigantic Nintendo cartridges other than taking them apart to mod.

Letcool handheld console emulator

Posted in Games by Conner Flynn on June 14th, 2010

The Letcool handheld emulator sort of looks like a Nintendo DS Lite with no top display. Must have been hard to design this one. This odd handheld can handle GBA, NES, SNES, Sega Genesis and Game Boy ROMs, and future updates will also include additional support for others.

The Letcool can also double as a portable media player, playing nice with 8 different audio formats and 10 video formats. Despite the name, you don’t need to let it cool. We think. Some other features include TV-out, 4GB of internal memory, a microSD memory card slot, a digital camera and a battery life of 6 hours. Only $70.

Hyperkin Retro N 3 system plays nes, snes and genesis games

Posted in Games by Conner Flynn on May 19th, 2010

Hyperkin. Sounds like over-caffeinated redneck relatives. Actually Hyperkin is the maker of the Retro N 3, which can play games from the original Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis in a single system.

The console looks pretty slick too. The Retro N 3 can play games from their original cartridges, rather than running emulated ROMs, so you can just use your old carts and play them the way that the gaming gods intended.

Sega Zone: Sega Genesis with a Wiimote

Posted in Games by Conner Flynn on February 2nd, 2010

Hey look, the Wii and the Sega Genesis had a baby. And it’s called the Sega Zone, which takes the Sega Genesis console and adds a pair of Wiimote-type controllers. To go along with those fancy new controls, they also throw in 30 new games for the system (16 of them support motion control of some sort).

There are also 20 classic Genesis games that come pre-loaded. We have no idea when it will be released here, but those in the UK can get one this summer for £39.95 ($60).

Hyundai Genesis dissected in time lapse videoNormally if you want to see what it looks like to dissect a car piece by piece, you have to get out the tools and sacrifice your own ride, throwing parts all over the yard. Thanks to Hyundai, you won’t have to do any work at all.

Just watch the video below of a Genesis completely disassembled. I love how the above image looks like parts from a model kit that you might buy in a box. Don’t try this at home. You’ll have parts leftover when you rebuild it.

Multi Platform portable gaming entertainment stationChinavasion’s latest offering is a retro portable gaming system: The Multi Platform Portable Gaming Entertainment Station.

The device sports a miniSD memory card slot for expansion and a 2.8″ display at 320 x 240 resolution. Not that we are condoning ROMs, which are illegal if downloaded from the Net. ROMs are bad. Just say no.
