Mo-DV bringing major motion pictures to microSD cards


Hard to say why this idea is just now catching on -- after all, select studios warmed to the idea of putting their content onto portable flash storage years ago. Mo-DV has just announced a new Universal Player for microSD cards, enabling Symbian, Android, Windows Mobile and your everyday Windows PC to play back DRM'd movies stored on a microscopic slab of memory. As for Android users, they'll need version 2.1 or newer, and while few details are given, the company has confessed that more platform support is coming (good luck,Windows Phone 7). No one's talking pricing or release information just yet, but potentially more frightening is this: has anyone ever considered just how inconvenient it is to keep a handful of microSD cards around, let alone swap them in and out of your smartphone?

This thing is all but official anyway, but for what it's worth, Google's now got its own product page live for the upcoming Nexus S from Samsung.

It's also got a gyroscope -- as do the existing Galaxy S phones -- along with something being called the "contour display" (which matches up with rumors we've heard), integrated VoIP support, and Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Interestingly, the phone's quoted as having nothing more than a 1GHz Cortex A8-based Hummingbird processor. Click the read more link for more details and videos!

911 GT2 RS: THE MOST POWERFUL ROAD PORSCHE EVER



Using a modified version of Porsche’s twin-turbocharged 3.6L flat-six, the 911 GT2 RS cranks out an amazing 620 horsepower, out gunning the previous model by a significant 90 horsepower. Perhaps more importantly, the latest GT2 RS has also shed 154 pounds, netting a total curb weight of just 3,021 pounds. The new model is also 5 percent more fuel efficient than the last-generation car.
Pairing that power with a svelte weight results in some tremendous performance figures, with the 911 GT2 RS capable of accelerating from 0-62 in just 3.5 seconds. The sprint to 124mph can be dealt with in 9.8 seconds, accelerating on to a top speed of 205 mph. Hit the read more link for more pictures and videos!

The rear-end gets new LED tail-lights, a reshaped trunk lid, and a new rear bumper with integrated exhaust tips which are more a part of the rear styling. Hit the read more link for more details and pictures.
