Nintendo DSi grows a few inches
Rumor has turned to reality: Nintendo will be releasing an updated version of its handheld gaming platform with the Nintendo DSi XL (DSi LL in Japan). The screen size is jumping from 3.5 inches to a noticably larger 4.2 inches. Nintendo has confirmed that the DSi XL will be released in the first quarter of 2010. Although there was no statement of price, take this and make what you will of it: The LL version releases in Japan on November 21 for ¥20,000 (or about $221).
Nintendo Wii shines in a new black coat
Too bad there are no plans for bringing this limited edition model of the Wii to the states. We’ll just have to make due with black Wii-motes and nunchucks which are due out November 16.

Sony Ericsson “Rachael” UI keeps getting better
We’ve already seen a video of the purported Sony Ericsson “Rachael” user interface at work. A new video has been released this week and it reveals the media playback capabilities. Watch out Apple; SE’s concept (hopefully -turned real) Android user interface looks very, very good.

Spider computer concept
Ericsson’s “spider computer concept” is a product the company believes may very well be the form factor our computers will come in by the year 2020. The spider features a pico-projected screen and laser-projected keyboard that sit upon a spider-influenced tripod of sorts. Interesting, to say the least.

Walk and create energy
Pavegen Systems at interbuild exhibition. Flexible paving slabs that generte energy from people’s footsteps to power street lighting, wayfinding solutions, and other low energy applications.
Basically, these “paving slabs” can generate “as much as 2.1 watts of electricity per hour” simply by having people walk on them. This kind of tech is very impressive and surely stands out in the “be green” world we live in today. Pavegen Systems is currently testing it out in East London and they plan to have them installed more widely sometime in 2010.

Powerful multitouch surface table
Ideum’s 100-inch multitouch table has 86 viewable inches, a 16 x 5 aspect ratio, and a 2,304 x 800 resolution. The coolest feature? It supports 50 simultaneous touch points; most surface tables like these can only recognize a few touch points. It also has the ability to show images in radio, microwave, infrared, visibile, ultraviolet, x-ray, and gamma rays. It currently sits at Space Chase Gallery at the Adventure Science Center.

Kid Cudi talks “Cudder,” his next studio album
Soon after the release of his first studio album, Man on the Moon: The End of Day, rapper Kid Cudi is already talking about his next album called Cudder. Cudi labels the next album a collaboration CD that will feature artists that inspire him. In his own words…
“Cudder is basically an album of me working with artists that have inspired me or artists that have helped me grow and people who I’ve always admired. So far, we’ve got Snoop, Travis Barker — trying to get Green Day onboard, hopefully, Kings of Leon, hopefully. I’m really trying to do all the collabs that I couldn’t do for the [Man on the Moon] album, and then some, because the album was so themed that I had to strip a lot of features. We’re going to have the Clipse on this compilation, Robin Thicke, hopefully we’re going to get in the studio, I just did a record for his upcoming album; it’s amazing.”
Expect to listen to what is sure to be another hit from newcomer Kid Cudi this summer “at the latest.”
