It looks like Nintendo is feeling the pressure from the iPhone. So much so, that the company’s President, Satoru Iwata, is perhaps considering an Amazon Kindle like wireless model to deliver games to the portable gaming unit.
I’m interested because it’s a new business model in which the user doesn’t bear the communications cost.
Currently Nintendo DSi users can access the Nintendo store to download a variety of content via WiFi, but that requires that the user be within proximity of a signal and seriously hinders the purchase anytime, anywhere impulse. Of course, this kind of delivery system would be implemented in the next generation of Nintendo DSes and would add some significant cost to the handheld device, something Nintendo may not be willing to do.
In a land where product names have nothing to do with anything, Yubz reigns supreme. Put the word Magnum next to Yubz and now you’re onto something.
The Yubz Magnum is a wireless speaker that will connect to any BlueTooth device. The Magnum is capable of playing music as well as acting as a hands-free loudspeaker for your cell phone.

I’m loving Sonos’ new Sonos ZonePlayer S5. It’s a tad on the pricey side, but what is lost in affordability is gained in pure simplicity and quality. The device connects to your Internet and can play 1000s of Internet radio stations, stream the most popular of music services (Pandora, Last.fm, Napster, etc) and pull music directly from your computer’s iTunes library. It’s also compatible with Apple’s wireless Time Capsule hard drive, which means your computer doesn’t even have to be turned on to access your tunes.
And like Apple’s commercial says, there is ‘an app for that’. Sonos’ S5 can be controlled via the iPhone or iPod Touch. In fact, that appears to be the only way to operate this WiFi infuzed, music streaming device (aside from other Sonos hardware or computer software). So if you don’t have one of those, well, you can just forget about the S5. The Sonos app let’s you control multiple S5s, allowing you to play different music through each speaker system or sync them all up and adjust volume individually.
Under the hood are 5 speakers: two tweeters, two mid-range drivers and a built-in single subwoofer – each individually powered by a dedicated digital amplifier.
The Sonos ZonePlayer S5 will be available October 27th for $399.

We just got our hands on the Powermat! The packaging is very polished and the Powermat kit includes a unverisal adapter for all your products as well as a carrying case. Unfortunately, they didn’t send over an iPhone compatible skin, but did manage include two Blackberry receivers, which replace the battery door, adding very little bulk to the handset. Check the quick hands on video below and expect a review in a few weeks time.
