Shiny Video Review: Samsung T9 MP3 player
It’s a Friday afternoon, and I’m stuck behind my desk. Stuck, I tell you! When there are pints to be drunk, and friends to catch up with, and attractive people to ogle in a surreptitious fashion. It’s just not fair. As you’re probably in the same boat, I thought you could do with some lots of videos to watch. Check out our one minute review of Samsung’s T9 MP3 player. It sure beats working.
R2D2 mobile media robot – more video footage
Look at you, being all blase. You’ve seen it all before, haven’t you? Modern cynic. Try taking a look at this. He may be familiar from CES, but we got new footage of the R2D2 mobile media centre at London’s Toy Fair yesterday, and we know you haven’t seen it before.
Shiny video preview: Spidersapien
You lucky, lucky people. First we bring you news of the Homersapien and Spidersapien, Robosapien-alike film tie-in toys. And if that alone were not enough, we now give you video footage of the Spidersapien in action. There’s no need to thank us.
Shiny Video Review: SideKick 3
Paris Hilton had one. Nicole Richie had one. Lindsay Lohan had one. No, not a high-flying celebutard lifestyle filled with personal assistants, nights out at Hyde, and a seven-figure bank balance. A SideKick! And now you can decide if the SideKick 3 is up your street, as we have the honour of presenting you with a video review.
JVC 2007: Liveblogging the keynote speech direct from Athens

World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade launch at HMV Oxford Street, London
Well done for tearing your eyes away from your latest World of Warcraft battle, long enough to read this post…Oh, it’s about World of Warcraft, funny that, I should have figured! Released at midnight last night in Europe and the US, The Burning Crusade expansion pack features a new continent, two extra races of ‘people’, and the level attainability has risen to 70. HMV at Oxford Street held a launch party similar to that of December’s Wii launch party, with WoW designer Jon LeCraft giving away signed copies, and many geeks fans dressing up in costume. Several hardcore gamers queued for well over 16 hours, in order to gain special in-game gifts, like pets, although most started queuing in the late afternoon. The expansion pack is only £29.99, plus you have to fork out a monthly fee to subscribe to the game as well. Take a gander at some of the photos taken last night – no laughing, however, karma is a bad enemy!

CES 2007: Atlantic's GameSeal waterproof portable gaming cases
Maybe not the prettiest game case we’ve ever seen, but perhaps the most practical, Atlantic’s GameSeal has impressed the DS-users amongst us with its waterproof capabilities. They’ve added two new items to their GameKeeper range, for both the DS (old-school and Lite), and Sony’s PSP, both available for just $39.95. What’s exciting us is that unlike other cases, Atlantic’s can fit pretty much the kitchen and bathroom sink, with space for 10 UMDs, two Memory Stick Duos and charger for the PSP case, and in the DS’s instance, there’s space for 12 DS cartridges, 16 GBA games, and a muchly-needed charger. Now, if only they made a holographic one, with lasers…
CES 2007: ZOMG!!1!!!1!!! Celebrity lookalikes handing out press releases!
Not only do we get free food, drinks, and shelter from the harsh winds of the Nevada desert, we also get to mingle with the creme de la creme of ‘sleb lookalikes. At CES Unveiled yesterday, we were greeted with Michael Jackson, Little Richard, and Cher lookalikes, handing out press releases. At least, we think it was a Cher lookalike – could’ve been Diana Ross or even Beyonce for all we knew, in our hungover stupor. Plus we’re pretty sure she was a drag queen, rendering that one observation almost useless. But, as you can see, Whacko Jacko and ol’ Richard were gagging for it, you’ll be pleased to note. Yep, I still have it, *blows on fingernails*
