Search Pro Application Review

Posted by

In this video I review the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad application Search Pro. Search Pro allows you to easily search almost any site on the internet all from within a single application. It comes preinstalled with several presets including Google, Wikipedia, Dictionary, YouTube and more. You can also add your own search engines to the application as well making it very useful and customizable. It also features a very sleek interface similar to the standard springboard, allowing you to scroll through pages, move icons around as well as delete them.

Search Pro is currently $0.99 in the App Store.

Nintendo 3DS: First Details

Posted by

In this video I go over the first solid details we have on the Nintendo 3DS, the upcoming Nintendo handheld console and successor to the very popular DS line. Thanks to some information from Kotaku we now have a good overall picture of what we can expect to see when they announce the 3DS at E3 this year. The first thing is obviously a 3D screen paired with what looks to be a camera to track your face and tailor the 3D effects of the screen better. The touchscreen might remain the same, although I tend to think that it will be upgraded to a capacitive screen from the current resistive screen that is in the DS. Graphics also stand to be improved to be on par with the Gamecube/Wii which certainly will be great in conjunction with the 3D effects. The Nintendo 3DS looks to be a major upgrade from the DS line while preserving full backwards compatibility which should make for a great console.

In this video I discuss the upcoming Motorola phone that is confirmed to have a 2 GHz processor, the Nvidia Tegra chipset, Flash 10.1 with support for hardware acceleration and a gyroscope for precise motion based gaming like in the iPhone 4. It also will run a version of Android, whether 2.2 or a later build. According to the CEO of Motorola, Sanjay Jha, the phone will be released before the end of 2010. As Motorola has already confirmed that they will be launching between two and four new Android smartphones this year this will obviously be the top one. As the original Motorola Droid was released last year it’s starting to get a bit outdated so it makes sense that this phone will be called the Droid 2. Of course they might brand the phone the Droid Extreme or even something entirely new but at any rate this looks to be a beast of a phone.

Rory Sutherland: Sweat the small stuff

http://www.ted.com It may seem that big problems require big solutions, but ad man Rory Sutherland says many flashy, expensive fixes are just obscuring better, simpler answers. To illustrate, he uses behavioral economics and hilarious examples.
