In these days where we all own a Mobile Phone, a PC, A Laptop, a Tablet and devices like the Raspberry PI or the soon to be released Ouya Console. A new joypad is to be released that also doubles as a keyboard which worked on everyone one of them. That dream is realised with a new open source joypad called the iControlPad 2, the joypad works with any device that has bluetooth or USB Connectivity, it features Dual analogue controls, a 4 row Qwerty Keyboard, Shoulder and Face Buttons and a 14 hour Battery life. On the kickstarter page they claim it can also be used with the likes of Robots and RC devices like helicopters.

The search for a cheap laptop or tablet has brought us news from india of a $10 Laptop which later cost $100. Then a few months ago we broke news of a Windows CE powered laptop selling for a paltry $45. Now via Android News we have details of an Android tablet selling for $50, for that you get a Samsung ARM 11 Mobile processor, 1GB DDR2 of system memory, 4GB on-board storage memory, 7.0" touchscreen, 800 x 600 resolution.
What i really want though is a $50 iPad!

Nintendo have revealed the release date of the WiiU, in Japan it will launch on the 8th December. The console will ship in 2 versions a Basic version with 8GB of internal memory and a Premium version that has 32GB of internal memory and comes with a stand and docks. Both versions have 1GB of Main and the same for Game Memory. Nintendo claim the console is 20 times more powerful than the Wii and supports 1080p visuals out the box and comes with an hdmi cable. All existing Wii accessories will work with the WiiU but the new Tablet Gamepad will set you back around £100/$173 when you convert yen over. The price of the Premium SKU converts to £250/ $405 but expect that to change when each region announces their release date and price.

It's been 13 years since 9/9/1999, when the Dreamcast launched on American shores. The hardware was ahead of its time; online capability, web browser, a visual memory unit, and a controller that anticipated the much-loved Xbox 360 controller. The games were amazing: Jet Set Radio (the first popular 3d cell-shaded game on a console), Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (still the apotheosis of 2-d fighting; just try finding a copy on ebay), Soul Calibur (still looks good compared to the recent Xbox/PS3 versions), NFL 2K (came out of nowhere, and was so good that it shook EA into spending tens of millions of dollars to seal up exclusivity for NFL rights), and many others. No doubt some of the reasons for the Dreamcast's demise lay with Sega, whose dubious hardware decisions (ahem, 32x) finally caught up to them, in the form of ambivalence from both developers and gamers, just as the console-making world was shifting to the multinationals with big pockets who were willing to spend it on pricey hardware design (or could absorb the cost of faulty hardware design). It was also one of the first consoles widely used for homebrew, today you can get emulators for Dreamcast of systems such as Snes, Amiga, NeoGeo, GBA and Nintendo 64.

The Dreamcast is now 13 years old, the last of Sega`s consoles spawned such great games such as Shenmue, Sonic Adventure 2, Soul Calibur, Crazy Taxi, Resident Evil: Code Veronica and Metropolis Street Racer. Also noteable was the Bleemcast project which got killed off when Sony werent too happy at seeing a PSX Emulator on the Dreamcast. The Console has lived on since Sega pulled the plug in the shape of homebrew games and emulators with sites such as DCEmu, Sega-DC DE and Dreamcast ES still to this day actively supporting the console. Even this year indie developers are still releasing commercial games for the Dreamcast.
