Hasta La Gadget!

While we absolutely adore our Nexus One — now that it’s got a bellyful of that fabulous frozen yogurt — one of the most exciting Android additions shown off at Google I/O isn’t actually slated for Froyo: the ability to push apps and music over the air from computer to phone. The underlying framework apparently is, though, and thus a bite-sized version of the functionality is already available at Google Code. If you’re one of the lucky few running Android 2.2, you can get an extension for Chrome and Firefox web browsers that will let you push URLs, Maps and YouTube video links direct to your device using a Google Account. You can think of it as an early foray into a Continuous Client, perhaps, sharing with yourself before you head to a business meeting. Better yet, share an account with a group of friends and push interesting items to everyone on the go. See how (and see it in action) right after the break.

Good news / bad news, folks. First with the smiles: PlayStation 3‘s first 3D-enabling updates are due out on June 10th for downloadable titles Super Stardust HD, WipEout HD, and Pain. The first two games get the added dimension for gratis, but Pain lovers (who should be accustomed by now to its abundant premium add-ons) will need to fork over ¥300 (approximately $3.28) for the benefit. The other stickler is that these updates are so far only announced for Japan — and by merit of a Bravia promotion, Europe as well. So what’s a North American gamer with a penchant for wearing special glasses to do? Keep waiting, true believers.

For the price, there’s nothing truly terrible about the SMiT MID-560A touchscreen tablet. If you’ve never held an Android device, you might even be pleasantly surprised with the functionality on offer. But if you have — or if you bought yours from a company called Enso and became embroiled in a vaporware scandal as a result — the zenPad is quite the letdown. Hear why after the break.

Windows Live Messenger, the final version, is now available for millions of people to download and use. The Overview Page isn’t available yet but the download links are active. Here are the different languages currently available:

• English
• Dutch
• French
• Spanish
• German
• (Brazilian) Portuguese
• Italian
• Chinese (Traditional)
• Russian
• Polish
• Finnish
• Hungarian
• Turkish
• Slovak
• Danish
• Swedish

Here is the list of features for Windows Live Messenger:

• Video Call – The free, synchronized audio and video service in Windows Live Messenger
• Windows Live Call with Verizon Web Calling service.
• Cordless phones designed exclusively for Windows Live Messenger – Uniden America Corp. and Philips recently introduced phones that make the Windows Live Call feature for Windows Live Messenger available in North America and Europe.
• Microsoft LifeCams optimized for Windows Live Messenger – Microsoft Hardware and the Windows Live services group announced last week a line of webcams that are designed for use with Windows Live Messenger.
• Sharing Folders – Now sharing is as easy as dragging and dropping a file. Customers can more easily share their files and personal photos with family, friends and colleagues on their Windows Live Messenger Contact List.
• Windows Live Contacts – Contact information is always current with Windows Live Contacts in Windows Live Messenger.
• Integration with Windows Live services – Windows Live Messenger integrates with other Windows Live services such as Windows Live Search, Windows Live Local, Windows Live Mail and MSN Spaces.

While the features list of Windows Live Messenger is pretty nice I really only use Google Talk to chat with my peers. I think that this is one piece of software I can do without. If I really needed to sign in to talk to someone on the MSN network then I would either use Windows Messenger real quick or just use the online Meebo. Let me know if anyone notices anything cool about Windows Live Messenger.

A 3D digital photo frame may seem a bit excessive for even the most all-compassing technology bandwagon, but the folks from Newsight have managed to put a somewhat unique spin on the idea with this frame recently on display at SID 2010. Like some of the company’s other displays, this 3D LCD is auto-stereoscopic — meaning you don’t need any pesky glasses — but it also takes things one step further by supporting what’s known as “motion parallax,” which effectively means you can “see around” an image. As you might expect, that involves a bit of trickery, but Newsight says its image processing software can take any traditional 3D (or even 2D) image and create five separate images out of it that let you see the same image from different angles. Unfortunately, that image processing must first be done on a PC with the current model, but Newsight promises that the next model will have built-in processing, and it’s already talking about a third version that will let two frames send images to each other.
