It’s U810 Week at PocketGoddess.com!

Yesterday I posted my review of the Fujitsu U810, the mini-laptop that fits the full Windows Vista or XP experience into a package half the size of a traditional laptop. You can read it here.

The rest of the week will be devoted to reviews of two carrying options for the U810, the R.A.P.S Advanced System Protection Wrap from Skooba Design and the Travel Case from Waterfield Designs.

Spring Cleaning Redux

I’m a firm believer in Spring cleaning, whether we’re talking about your closet, your windows, or your electronic devices. I’ve published articles about the topic in the past, and recently one of my Mobius friends posted one on his site. Click here to check out his tips. They go beyond handhelds to discuss how to clean out your laptop and even your email inbox, so they’re definitely worth a read.

Friday Gaming Update

Lots of exiting releases the last couple of weeks, especially if you’re a handheld gamer.

Patapon: If you haven’t already picked up this game and you have a PSP, go out and get it RIGHT NOW. It’s hard to explain in a short blurb, but this strategy/rhythm/action game is amazingly addictive and deeply satisfying. I can’t seem to put it down, and I’m guessing you might end up feeling the same way. If I haven’t convinced you, there’s a free demo available at the Playstation Network store, so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

God of War: Chains of Olympus: The reviews are in, and they’re overwhelmingly positive. If you’re a fan of the console action series, you can now continue the adventure on your PSP.If you don’t have a PSP yet, there’s also a special Godof War bundle that includes a red PSP and a copy of the game.

Space Invaders Extreme: The game isn’t due until mid-June, but I’m already very excited about this title, thanks to the demo available now at PSP Fanboy.The music is awesome, and the gameplay is modern and cool while staying true to the original . Expect to face new challenges (including boss fights!), plus integration of cool gameplay elements from other arcade classics like Galaga and Breakout.

Flow: PS3 owners have been playing Flow for quite a while, but it was just released on the Playstation Network store yesterday for PSP owners. The concept is cool, and good for those mellow times that you’d like some entertainment but don’t really want to work yourself up to play a “real” game. I haven’t spent too much time with it yet, but it has a nicely calm and ethereal atmosphere.

Disney Friends: I spent some time with this Nintendo DS demo at my local game store and like the exploration aspects and the gameply variety. This title should be fun for the younger set; think of a cross between Animal Crossing and Nintendogs, but with a Disney state of mind.

The Party’s Over!

It has been a long time indeed since I posted anything here at the site; I decided to take a much-needed rest for the holidays, and I’m now rested and ready to clear out the review backlog. Expect to see reviews for the Fujitsu U810 and the iPod Touch in the very near future, along with a bevy of accessories and other cool stuff.

I also am clearing out the closet and have some great stuff to pass along to good homes. Use the Contact link on the left hand side of the site to request a list; highlights include a Palm LifeDrive, Sony PSP, and lots of other goodies.

I hope that all of you had a blessed and warm holiday season, that Santa was good to you and yours, and that you haven’t broken all of your New Year’s resolutions—at least not yet!

The Tiniest GPS

I don’t know how they’ve done it, but Proporta is now offering the Freedom Keychain GPS 2000 Receiver, and it’s even tinier than the first model. This version is much improved, with a ten hour battery and can connect to as many as 51 satellite channels (the old model could handle only 20). It measures 1.81” by 1.26” and is just barely over half an inch thick, and weighs 0.77 ounces. It doesn’t come with any software, but works with every mapping package conceivable, including Google Maps. This little Bluetooth wonder can ensure that you never get lost again!

You can get one for yourself for $129.95 at the Proporta online store.

New PocketGoddess Feature: First Look

I love mobile technology of all kinds, and that includes gaming too, so I’m kicking off a new regular feature here at PocketGoddess.com: First Look. There are lots of places on the Web and in print to find in-depth game reviews, so I won’t add my voice to that cacophony. Instead, I’ll focus on first impressions that can help you make the decision of whether or not you should spend your hard-earned gaming dollars on a particular title. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy writing them for you, and as always, I welcome your comments and suggestions for what games you would like to see covered in future installments.
