China is definitely one of the biggest growth markets in all of the mobile phone and smartphone world.

This maglev train’s length of development sure can’t a hold a candle to its speed — it took its creators almost six years to finally give it a test run. The five L0 Series cars zipped along the 26.6-mile track in nine minutes, hitting 311 mph within the first three miles. The reporters on board the futuristic vehicle couldn’t feel or hear any disturbance, except for the odd blown mind. Outside, however, watching members of the public felt a shockwave followed by a deafening roar as the duck-billed train zoomed past. Using results from this trial, the company will be assessing the platypus-like train’s potential environmental impact and looking for ways to reduce its maintenance costs in the future. You won’t be taking a ride on this levitating wonder during your next Japanese vacation, though — — CJCR’s got a few more tests to run before its 2027 launch date.

The 2DS feels more like a Nintendo DS upgrade than a 3DS sequel. As its name would suggest, the 2DS also dumps the 3D and opts for two dimensions. The design choices may seem like a step back, but Nintendo is sweetening the deal considerably with a $129 price tag. That’s a savings of 40 bucks over the 3DS.
While reactions to the gaming gadget have focused on its funky appearance, gamers are also debating its merits. Many see it as a device for young kids. Others can see the appeal of the lower price, especially as holiday gift-giving time rolls around. Some never liked the 3D feature of the 3DS to begin with.
The 2DS may have already deserved its reputation as the ugly duckling of the handheld gaming world, but it does h… [Read more]
