Taking some inspiration from the sucker-in-a-sleeve known as a Push Pop, Takara Tomy’s Smart Han bento lunchbox lets busy office drones enjoy sticky rice lunch extruded from a large tube. It’s not unlike the Sushi Bazooka, except that this contraption is designed to pump the food directly into your mouth. More »
Bad news gamers in Japan, if you were looking forward to playing Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance on your Xbox 360, well you’re out of luck as Kojima Productions has confirmed via its website that the game has been cancelled for the Xbox 360. Instead the game will only be available on the PlayStation 3. However it seems that this cancellation for the Xbox 360 is limited only to Japan, so for gamers in other countries it looks like you’re still good to go. Some have speculated that the cancellation might have to do with poor Xbox 360 sales in Japan, but either way if you’re in Japan and you want to play Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, it looks like your best bet is to get it imported.

LG teased us earlier with a new promo ad that boasted their Optimus G’s 13MP camera, and as much as we’d love to get our hands on the phone and try it for ourselves, a release date still remains a mystery but according to the folks at CNET, LG is expected to be hosting an event in NYC on the 19th of September, while another event will be held in South Korea on the 18th of September. While it is unclear as to what LG will be announcing, it has been speculated that the company could be announcing release dates for the LG Optimus G in the US. Given that the US market is one of the largest in the world to break into, and given the specs of the handset, we’re sure that not only is LG eager to offer it up to US customers, but US customers are probably just as eager to get their hands on it. If the Optimus G’s specs have impressed you, be sure to check back with us on the 19th of September for the details.

If we were to buy into leaks, the best source is usually straight from the horse’s mouth and it looks like Apple’s very own search engine is chock full of information that they have yet to announce. Earlier we reported that the iPhone 5 name was more or less confirmed, and now it seems that we can expect iTunes 11 to be launched alongside the next-gen iPhone and the iPod touch as well. No word on what we can expect yet from iTunes 11, but if the rumors are right, it seems that iTunes 11 has been redesigned from the ground up and is not only sleeker, but faster as well. In any case we’ll most certainly be looking forward to seeing what Apple has up their sleeves, so check back with us in a few hours for all the details!

There’s been so much rumor-hawking and speculation the past few weeks that whether you’re ready or not, we’re squarely in the middle of iPhone season. So here’s a quick rundown of everything we think we know about Apple’s next iPhone. More »
Apple offered a hint of the name in its invitation to today’s event, but it looks like a slip-up on its own website may have now let the cat of the bag. Searching for “iphone-5” brings up a number of results for (as yet nonexistent) pages related to a device that seems to clearly be called the “iPhone 5.” What’s more, as 9 to 5 Mac notes, there are also references to a “new iPod touch with Retina Display” and a new iPod nano, as well as a similar indication that iTunes 11 is set to be released today.
Update: 9 to 5 Mac has also turned up another search result that would seem to confirm the presence of LTE in the new iPhone.

Vodafone’s 7-inch Smart Tab II made a surprise appearance at IFA last month with its 10-inch sibling also in tow, and now it’s stopped off at the FCC to pick up its Visa for future trips to the US. The official documents for the chunky, carrier-branded slate aren’t giving much away, except that it’s got the expected mix of 3G, WiFi and Bluetooth. Most of the specs remain a mystery, but the FCC ID (O57A2107VDF3G) indicates it’s Lenovo’s IdeaTab A2107 in disguise, meaning it should have a 1GHz dual-core CPU running behind a 1,024 x 600 display. At IFA, the price tag on the 7-inch model was 190 Euros (approximately $245), but with only 4GB storage and no LTE, we expect some heavy, competitive subsidies from Voda when it lands.

While Apple has yet to make an official announcement, some are speculating that the next-gen iPhone will be either called the iPhone 5, or the “new” iPhone which was the name that Apple decided to give its third-gen iPad. Well it seems like thanks to a quick search Apple’s website, the “iPhone 5” moniker can more or less be confirmed by the search results. The links in the search cannot be clicked at the moment, which we guess isn’t too surprising given that Apple probably doesn’t want to let all the cats out of their proverbial bag before its announcement. In any case the name seems to have been confirmed, so the only thing left is for us to wait and see if the design and its specs are similar to that of the rumors, leaks and speculations that we have come across in the past. So, are you relieved that it will be called the iPhone 5 instead of “the new iPhone”?
