First Looks: XtremeMac InCharge Auto, Home + Home Plus for iPod and iPhone

 

The latest generation of XtremeMac’s InCharge series of home and car chargers has arrived, and minimalist design is the name of the game. InCharge Auto ($20) is an ultra-simple black and gray car charger with a coiled cord, a low-profile Dock Connector, and a matte black charging bulb — no frills, save for a 1 Amp charger that provides a faster recharge for iPhones, nice for the asking price. The Home ($30) and Home Plus ($40) versions of InCharge…

Quick Look: Spirit, a zippy little arcade title for your iPhone

 

Spirit — not to be confused with the Leona Lewis album of the same name — is a $0.99 arcade game that I really should like, but simply don’t enjoy. The game features beautiful graphics, the power to open vortexes, and some questionable touchscreen controls.

EyeTV Hybrid shrinks down, gains Win7 compatibility

 

Filed under: Hardware Same price, same features (mostly) but a sleek and slender new look: yesterday Elgato introduced the latest revamp of its EyeTV Hybrid USB tuner for high-definition digital television. The US$150 widget gives you the option of watching over-the-air digital television in full HD glory, and can also tune in unencrypted (Clear QAM) and analog cable TV signals. If you’ve got an analog source like a VCR or videogame console, you can also route those signals through the EyeTV Hybrid to watch or play on your Mac (for those who don’t need the analog option, Elgato also sells the HD tuner-only EyeTV One for $120). The tuner ships with the EyeTV 3 software , enabling live TV, DVR functionality and shared recordings for your iPhone and iPod touch. With every new EyeTV Hybrid you get a one-year subscription to the TV Guide data feed, which provides full listings and enables the Smart Series recording feature; the software also can detect and display the embedded ATSC schedule information for broadcast shows. After the first year, re-upping with TV Guide will cost you $20. Other than the slimmer profile, the major new feature on this model is the addition of driver support for Windows 7’s Windows Media Center.

GDC 2010: Ngmoco previews We Rule and GodFinger

 

Filed under: Gaming , Freeware , Developer , iPhone We stopped by Ngmoco ’s suite at GDC 2010 on the afternoon of the first day of the show, and got a chance to preview two upcoming titles they’re working on testing and releasing soon. Both of the games follow Ngmoco’s popular (and yet much-maligned) “freemium” model , in which you download the game for free with the option to buy in-game items or currency that can change up or speed your gameplay. Still, while the model might turn some players off, the games we saw were the kinds of games Ngmoco is slowly becoming known for: polished casual experiences that bring an established genre squarely into their business model. The first game we saw was called We Rule — it’s currently “beta testing” in the Canadian App Store and will be available to users in other App Stores soon. It was described to us as “Farmville meets Age of Empires,” but what we saw was much more like Farmville rather than the more combat-based RTS title.

Target launches first scannable mobile coupon program, frugalistas going wild

 

Target ’s announced it is launching a scannable mobile coupon program — the first of its kind. The opt-in program will provides Target shoppers with a customized webpage on their mobile phones, with all offers scannable at checkout via a single barcode. Target’s no stranger to innovative marketing — its gift cards are well known for their cute, gadgety ways — and while this new program is essentially a text message driven sale (meaning it could quickly become a mere annoyance), anything that minimizes our interactions with fellow humans gets our stamp of approval, so the ability to scan your own barcode at the register? Thumbs up. The full press release is after the break.
