For those note familiar with Enloop batteries: They’re like NiCd or NiMh rechargeables only they last longer, don’t have the same memory issues, and work right out of the box. I think they charge faster than standard rechargeables as well.
Available here for $74, but not officially in the US

Logitech, long time maker of keyboards and mice for computers, is set to launch the Nintendo Wii keyboard. Looking slim and trim, this wireless typepad is a full QWERTY and will boast Wii specific keys such as zoom, forward/back, quit, and more. The receiver dongle fits snuggly into the keyboard for easy transportation.
Expect it in August for $50.

I say concedes, because when it comes to bowling, tennis - heck any game - you could just move the Wii-mote or Nunchuk a half inch and get the same accuracy - and reaction - as flinging it 3 feet. From the looks of it, they’ve added in an accelerometer. Put that in combination with the motion sensor you’ve stuck on top of your TV and it’ll reflect your action in what Nintendo calls a ‘true 1:1 response’.
Let’s just hope the games of the future take advantage of this.

The Force Unleashed, which is due to hit store shelves 9/16/08, just looks better and better with each subsequent trailer. I’m psyched!

The Xbox 360’s price will drop to $299 on 7/31/08. It’s be called the Xbox Pro and include a controller, wired headset, and component plug.
Hmmm, maybe I’ll return my 360 to Costco, that is assuming they’re selling the Pro there.

Apparently the ST-2 Shooting Simulator is so accurate that even the Russian and Slovakian national clay shooting teams use it for practice. Co-developed by the British Association of Shooting (is that like the NRA) the ST-2 provides user feedback on every shoot. Bring your own gun - that is if you can find one to use - and hook it up for that true practice experience.
No word on price or availability and it’s designed for shotgun and rifle practice.

The pics says it all. I am not sure how they squeezed it in, but it’s worth a look.

It’s no surprise that Lucas licenses the Star Wars brand to, well, pretty much anything cool. Now your kids, or all you ‘growned up folks’, can enjoy your Nintendo DS with your very own Star Wars Lightsaber Stylus. And the fun don’t stop there. Embedded in the stylus is an LED to illuminate the ever so small piece of nostalgia.
Available here on July 31st for $17
