Transformers DS Stuff

Next Wednesday the new Transformers movie, Revenge of the Fallen, is coming out and it is significant event for me as the DS products I designed and developed will hit the markets the same day. This DS kits include a protective case and a character stylus and it is available in Megatron and Bumblebee at launch where buyers have a choice to get the stylus by itself also. Developing these was quite a long road where my company had to seek countless approvals in many stages both from Hasbro and Nintendo but the end result in my opinion worth all the pain and suffering. I worked with a great factory that gets toys and painting very well and kudos to my sculptor Denis Cartela for bringing the concept out to the model. Take a look at Megatron stylus becoming.

Where is PSPGo Going?

Sony says current PSP is going to be an ongoing product and PSPGo is a complimentary item on shelves but I don't really buy this. I believe once PSPGo hits the market this October the old PSP is a goner. I got a chance to play with the new model PSP at E3 earlier this month and it's pretty solid. Eversince my iPhone got great games I am questioning the need for another handheld gaming gadget though. PSPGo is missing a camera and that second analog stick everyone was bitching about.

Bino Grip Controller

I've designed this controller looking at a pair of Bushnell binoculars. The grips are vulcanized rubber over plastic and they open and close letting you adjust the piece for your hand size and finger lenght specs. Traditional controller design has grips that sit in your palms but little many players know; you mostly use your fingertips to stabilize the controller in your hand thus the short and small grips of a dualshock controller

Projector on a Laptop

Computex is going on in Taipei. I didn't go this year, quite bummed about it; this show is usually a great venue for unique and innovative stuff coming out from Taiwan. I've spotted this Asus laptop on the web for example. It has a built in projector which is certainly a trend that will pick up in years to come.
