Submission + - Flytech Dragonfly ships, Radio Shack has it

robotsrule writes: "WowWee's wing flapping flying insect robot is now available on Radio Shack's web site for online ordering. The $49 Flytech Dragonfly is currently exclusive to them although reports indicate that in a month shipping may open up to other retailers. Except for a tiny propeller on its tail that is used primarily for trim, the Flytech Dragonfly gets its power from flapping its wings. It is based on a design made by Sean Frawley, who at the time was a high school student and was making and selling rubber-band powered Ornithopters with a friend through their own fledgling business. Sean recently graduated Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Fla. and is now a project manager for WowWee."

Submission + - EA playing catchup because of Wii Sucess

rujholla writes: Seekingalpha has a good post up about how EA is scrambling to re-orient themselves with the latest shakeout in the console wars.

It has been fascinating to see the process of Electronic Arts (ERTS) coming to the realization that they got their bets dead wrong, and to see how they've adjusted strategy in the wake of new information (read: a Nintendo (NTDOY.PK) Wii home-run and a Sony (SNE) PS3 disappointment)


The article is full of interesting quotes from various sources about the console war and EA's floundering.
