Micro projector


Here's a cool feature for what's to come in mobile tech. Microvision has recently announced the release of their miniature digital projector - that little device on the right. The projector, according to Microvision, is designed to be embedded in future generation cell phones and PDAs, allowing users to beam images of their videos onto a nearby flat screen - like a wall. And to give you guys an idea of the unit's size, that rectangular object beside it is actually a mint chocolate piece.

Since the thing is still a prototype, don't expect to find it in your shops anytime soon. However, for the guys who want a closer look, Microvision will be unveiling this gadget on this week's CES event in Las Vegas. Given the other previous announcements regarding the CES, we're expecting it to be something a tech fan's Nirvana for the next few days.

Still, it would have been cool to see this thing mounted on a PSP or DS, and the possibilities it could mean for modding. Just think - Projector + GPS Pack = Shion's palm pilot from Xenosaga.

GDCMGDC or Game Developers Conference has been expanding in the last few years in terms of events, locality and focus. It would be remembered that mobile entertainment took spotlight back in 2002 when the organizers had included GDC Mobile in its official roster of events.

Next year's gathering is no different as the partial list of participating companies was just revealed. Aside from giants Microsoft and Sony, other confirmed attendees include Ericcson, Motorola, I-play and Nvidia among others. GDC Executive Director Jamil Moledina declares, "The objective for GDC Mobile, as it is for the entire GDC, is to provide a program designed primarily to empower individual game creators with hands-on development details and unveilings of bold breakthroughs."

Furthermore, GDC Mobile will be host to over 50 lectures, keynotes, panels and round tables looking at various aspects of the medium. "The GDC has grown to become the world's largest game industry-only event and GDC Mobile has quickly stamped its claim as the leading conference dedicated to mobile interactive entertainment development," Moledina added.

GDC is to be held March 5 to 6 next year, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

MMGTV dating games are like sooo passe. Mostly because we're never in it. Sorry, boys! We got no excuses now! Heavy.com brings us the biggest, widest, and, as its name suggests, massive-est dating game in America. And no matter who (and where) you are, you can play and vie for your hot date in Las Vegas because you can easily participate through the web and your mobile phone!

The Massive Mating Game brings in ten ladies that guys can all vote up. And while the dating mating game was released last August 16, votes for the girls are skyrocketing to climactic numbers already.

Wanna pimp yourself out? Joining is easy! Register yourself on the website, watch the videos of the girls and vote! The voting period ends on September 6, and the real game commences. The top-voted girl will send guys five questions about herself through text. The catch is she could text you any time of day (or night). Gotta have fast thumbs for that. The fastest contestant to answer her questions correctly sends him off to the Grand Prize.

Biggest BlackBerryA lot of people can't seem to function properly without their BlackBerry nowadays and nobody can blame them. The thingamajig is able to check your emails and it doubles as a cellphone. Handy, right? Well, not this one. What is arguably the world's biggest BlackBerry is housed in the Nextel Store at Las Vegas' Convention Center Monorail Station.

And this one is not just for show, it actually works too, just like that gargantuan iPod in Ohio. Well, something like this could only be found in a place like Vegas...but remember, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.
