HDHomeRun Prime TV tuner passes CableLabs tests, available for preorder on Amazon

We've been waiting for SiliconDust's CableCARD-compatible HDHomeRun Prime for a little over a year and it seems finally ready to bring its triple tuner TV magic home, having gained CableLabs certification as of April 28th and subsequently showing up for preorder on Amazon. While this is mostly big news for Windows Media Center fans who need a new way to get premium channels on their box it also supports other DVR software like MythTV on Copy Freely-marked content. HTPC builders don't have to choose between this HDHR3-CC and the (suddenly in abundant supply and still $399) Ceton InfiniTV 4 just yet, since the listing has no shipping date and the last we'd heard from SiliconDust was that preorders would ship around 30 days after it completed certification. Check out our hands-on impressions from CES a few months ago if you're on the fence, but right now all that's standing between you and that grey box is a little bit of time... and $207.

This Was Osama's Hideout [Terrorism]

Android This Week: Nook Color Tablet; Video Calls Ring; Google Docs Improves

Early in the week, one of the newest e-readers became the newest Android tablets in a sense. The Barnes & Noble Nook Color is great for reading e-books and is built upon Google Android’s mobile operating system, although you’d never know it due to the excellent interface that hides Android. The Nook Color gained more tablet features with a software update that adds a third-party app store, a useful email client, and support for Adobe AIR and Flash within the existing web browser application.

Once the update arrived, I quickly ran out to purchase a Nook Color and test it out. Overall, I’m very impressed by what this $249 device can do. My hands-on review of the Nook Color answers the question: Is the device an e-reader, a tablet, or both?

For folks who want to supplement e-reading activities with occasional checks of email or web use, the device is certainly worth the look. Power users can also use software hacks to root the device and run the full Android operating system, making the Nook Color an inexpensive double-threat.

Also this week, Google brought Android smartphones closer to parity with their tablet counterparts by adding support for video calls and chat through Google Talk. Handsets will need to run Android 2.3.4, which Google is first rolling out to its Nexus S phone; device manufacturers and carriers will have to follow suit on other devices.

Video chat isn’t exclusive to Google on Android phones, however. Fring has added four-way video calling, while Qik also went live with its video service for Android smartphones. Best of all, both of these services are cross-platform so you can call friends who have either Android or iOS devices.

Reading books and video chatting is nice, but some Android owners want to get work done too. That becomes a little easier now that there’s a dedicated and free Google Docs application available. The software allows for document editing and printing through Google’s Cloud Print service on supported printers.

Also handy is a document creation tool that uses the camera of a smartphone: Simply snap a picture of a physical document and Google will quickly scan it and create a document based on the text it sees, using Optical Character Recognition technology.

Oreimo Getting Spin-Off Manga Focusing On Kuroneko

Kuroneko fans, rejoice! For Oreimo is now getting a spin-off manga, focusing entirely on your favourite gothic heroine who will call upon the denizen of darkness to consume entertain all of you!

The spin-off manga titled as “Ore no Kouhai ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai” will be serialized in Dengeki G, and illustrated by the same artist (Sakura Ikeda) who had illustrated for the original series as a manga. Which actually makes sense if anyone’s into a romantic story… Kyosuke and Kirino could never happen.

Although, none of the characters in the series really clicked with me…

Meyer Harris Cohen, also known by his alias “Mickey” is the notorious kingpin of all gangsters in L.A., with a record that includes larceny, extortion, alleged murder and a laundry list of other crimes that span all the way from his hometown in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles where he currently presides. In L.A. Noire, Detective Phelps looks to have a few run-ins with Cohen during his investigations and getting by this hardened criminal may prove to be quite a feat.

Cohen also is said to always be with his bodyguard, Johnny Stompanato, which makes encountering this madman all the more intimidating.

Noire is just a few weeks away now from release and soon we can all get to work on exploring this world filled in-depth personalities and real-life crimes that Rockstar have created in what is sure to be a big contender for game of the year.

Confirmed: The PSP Go is no more

The Sony PSP Go is today being reported to have "completed" its production and shipment in Japan, seemingly foreshadowing a worldwide discontinuation of sales. Such is the word from Impress Watch, which cites an official statement from Sony Computer Entertainment that promises support, firmware updates, and repairs for the PSP Go, but no further stock of the handheld. We doubt it'll be missed too much, what with its high price and inability to play UMD games, but if you're afraid this signals a similar demise for the PSP-3000, worry not. Sony has said it'll focus on shifting as many units of that classic device as possible until the NGP strides in and revolutionizes everything.

Lift’n Buddy Electric Hand Cart

By Andrew Liszewski

If your job involves hauling heavy boxes around with a hand cart, I’ve got 2 1/2 words that should make things a little easier on your back: Lift’n Buddy. For the most part it’s your standard hand cart that has to be rolled around manually, but the bed where you stack boxes can automatically raise and lower itself, which means you no longer have to bend over to load and unload it. Watching the video below it appears the Lift’n Buddy has an automated system ensuring the bed is always at the optimal height, even while you’re stacking more on it. And depending on the model you buy, which range in price from $2,695 to $3,795, the cart can lift anywhere from 250 to 750 lbs.

Blue Mars Developer Appoints Henk Rogers As CEO

Avatar Reality, developer of virtual world platform Blue Mars 3D, announced the appointment of its co-founder and game industry luminary co-founder Henk Rogers as its new chief executive.

Established in Hawaii in 2006 by Rogers and president Kazuyuki Hashimoto, Avatar Reality launched its CryEngine 2-powered, client-based Blue Mars platform with an open beta two years ago, though it's yet to attract a substantial userbase. It also released a free, avatar-based iOS app in February.

The privately held company says that as Rogers expands his role and becomes more active at the firm he helped create, he will oversee the vision and direction for the virtual world platform, the iOS application, and Avatar Reality's "new, breakthrough technology in the pipeline".

Rogers is best know for the instrumental role he played in popularizing Alexey Pajitnov's landmark puzzle game Tetris. He is also CEO of Blue Planet Software, which co-owns The Tetris Company (a firm he co-founded with Pajitnov) and guided the Tetris franchise into selling some 125 million copies.

"I believe that the full potential of the Blue Mars platform and technology has yet to be realized," said Rogers. "With this, I am excited about the innovation to come, and am fully committed to the success of the company and Blue Mars."

Undoomed: Doom 4 Not “Reskinned Rage”

src="http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/images/11/apr/doom4.jpg"/>/> That’s what id’s design director Matt Hooper told has told Eurogamer.

“They’re [the Doom 4 team] going in their own direction,” Hooper added. “They’re doing something Doom fans will be happy with. I try to support them as much as possible. It’s a good thing. We’re separated enough to be able to go our own ways, but still connected where we can help facilitate both those directions. It is distinct enough. It would be dangerous… We don’t want to make a re-skinned Doom [with Rage] and then Doom 4 be a re-skinned Rage. That would be bad.”

My speculatometer points to Doom 4 (or 400M, as we’re calling it) being an attempt to return to the demonic themes and pacey blasting of the original games. Odds on for an unveiling at QuakeCon this summer, and a late-2012 release. But I guess we’ll see…

Kinect Spider-Man game 'would be hard,' says Activision

How cool would it be to fling web like Spider-Man in a Kinect or PlayStation Move-controlled video game? The idea sounds plausible, but it's not something we'll be seeing in this year's Spider-Man: Edge of Time from Beenox and publisher Activision.

"Unfortunately our game was long in development before Kinect or Move were ever announced so that kind of motion control stuff was never planned for and wasn't possible for our game, but I think in the future as that becomes more popular we'll definitely try to see if there's any opportunity there," Activision associate producer Dennis Bernardo told VideoGamer.com earlier this week.

Pinetti Quattrogiga Leather Journal Has A Flash Drive Built Into Its Strap

By Andrew Liszewski

It’s hard to entice notebook enthusiasts away from their classic Moleskines, but Pinetti’s giving it their best shot with their Quattrogiga leather journal that features a 4GB USB flash drive built into its strap. Made of silicone the strap is actually held in place on the journal with snaps, meaning it’s completely removable as needed. The journal is also refillable, which basically means it’s just a leather cover designed to wrap around a basic paper notebook, which makes its $85 price tag, $105 for the larger model, a little difficult to swallow.
