Xenosaga has finally arrived to the mobile world entitled "Xenosaga: Pied Piper". While the story is different than the original ones so you won't see Kosmos in the plot, the setting and timeline are still the same. You play as a criminal investigator trying to stop a terrorist crime from ever occurring. Good thing about this is that you can play an RPG right at your own cellphone. Transmission for this game will start at early July. Unfortunately, Xenosaga:Pied Piper is only available in Japan.

A gamer on the go? Then Dell recommends that you use their new XPS M1710 laptop dedicated to answer the ordinary gamer's needs. To be able to enjoy playing a game one must have power to avoid frame drops and this is no exception, M1710 is equipped with a 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo T2600 with 4 GB of DDR2 RAM and 512 nVidia GeForce Go 7900 GTX graphics card for your high quality video gaming needs. A gamer not only enjoys having great speed but the ability to install lots of games (minus the hassle) as well. With this laptop's 120GB SATA disk and dual-layer DVD combo drive where you can burn data, installations are problem-free.

Of course, a player also needs to have a large screen to fully enjoy a game; this laptop packing a 17" screen size is definitely not something to smirk at. Like any other laptop, there is an array of I/O ports that comes with it like Firewire, 6 USB 2.0, DVI, the capability to connect it to a component video, and a 5-in-1 memory card reader. The only downside I can see is its 2.1 channel of sound, but even that isn't really such a big issue if you take the other perks into consideration. The specs are great but here's the catch, this laptop will cost around $5000 (I knew it was too good to be true).

More memory, broadband data connectivity with EVDO, a good number of software additions and a complete upgrade from the current Treo 650, that is the promise of the new member of the Sprint Treo family, the 700p. Rumors has been speading like wildfire about the specs, release date and retail price of the said phone. Expected to be available at around the middle of May or first week of June, Treo 700p's rumored price range is around $399 to $499 while containing these specs:

* EVDO (high speed data connectivity)
* Pocket Tunes (as opposed to Real Player on the 650)
* Sprint TV
* Documents to Go version 8
* Blazer 4.5 in ROM
* 62.8M of free space for programs
* 320x320 display
* PalmOS Garnet 5.4.9
* 1.3 MP Camera with 1280x1024 resolution
* A much faster user interface than on the Treo 650

Toshiba's Qosmio G30 is packed with features and hardware to be considered one of the extreme notebooks to date. This notebook is equipped with a Duo Core T2500 at 2 GHz, an NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 128 MB Video RAM, 1 GB of RAM (upgradeable to a maximum of 2GB), 2 SATA 120GB HDD, a HD WUXGA screen with an astounding 1920x1200 resolution in a 17" screen. With this kind of hardware installed, I can play today's PC games that are out in the market in their recommended settings smoothly and I can use this notebook to download very large files, rip some DVDs (especially the dual-layered ones), and encode audio and video files.

Qosmio G30 also comes with a multi-format drive that supports HD-DVD, DVD-RAM, DL, R, RW, and other typical formats. Included in this notebook is a digital and analog TV tuner and remote control.

Literally, the Qosmio packs a punch, not only in features and hardware but to the point of knocking a person out due to its immense weight of 4.8kg. Qosmio G30 will hit the stores in May costing around 2800 EUR.

IAlertU is a new software developed for the MacBook Pro. This comes with a remote and motion sensor that will alert the owner if the MacBook is being stolen like a car alarm.

Check out  the video on how it works.
