Hasta La Gadget!

Nobody can accuse Oscar-winning director Ang Lee of being stuck in a box, having gone from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to Hulk to Life of Pi. According to Deadline Hollywood, he’ll next tackle a boxing film that looks at the 1960s and ’70s golden age or prizefighting, with such rivalries as Ali-Frazier and Hearns-Duran. Intriguingly, he intends to give us an intimate peek into that world by filming it in 3D, presumably using Life of Pi‘s Cameron Pace Fusion 3D technology. Other story and technical details have yet to come out, but given the filmmaker’s love of complex themes and the epic clashes of the era, he’s got our attention.

US Cellular has had precious few truly low-cost smartphones running an Android build that wasn’t baked in 2010. For those who’d like something a little fresher, the ZTE Director is here. While it’s only slightly ahead of the trailing edge with stock Ice Cream Sandwich, that’s an improvement on a category where Gingerbread still rules. Likewise, no one will be floored by the 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 3.5-inch 480 x 320 screen, 4GB of storage (plus microSD slot) and 3-megapixel rear camera, although the 1,500mAh battery is ample for the size. We imagine that customers will mostly be enamored by the price — when the Director costs a penny on contract and $200 contract-free, it may bring in those who’d have held on to that basic flip phone for a little while longer.
