Google release date guesser, live in a search bar near you

Try it now; searching for games or movies in Googles awesome search box should give you a "best guess" for the release date of that item.

It even quotes the sources (via an expandable menu) - which is pretty awesome. It works by crawling the net and finding dates mentioned next to products, the more it gets the more accurate and "best" it rates it - certain websites are also weighted favourably - such as IMDb, and Wikipedia.

Motorola Atrix pictured and videoed

You remember the Motorola Atrix, right? My favourite thing to come out of CES?

Of course you do, well, today Motorola has launched it, in the consumer orientated sense. Nerds are all for CES releases, but the consumer at large tends to be unaware until the more public launches.

However, these consumer launches are good for us too, because we generally get some prettier pictures, and some really feature descriptive videos.

Apple Mac Mini gets a refresh

News just in: Mac Mini updates from Apple.

And I was not correct, although the upgrades are available it is not the same spec as the Macbook Pro, but does include a 2.4Ghz core 2 duo processor, 2gb Ram and a 320gb hard drive for the basic model... 

Apple MacBook upgrades go official -

Following the recent Macbook Pro upgrades, Apple have confirmed the Apple Macbook refresh. In the States at least, and they are expected to roll out internationally soon. And it seems as though, whilst this post was in production they updated the UK site too!

This is reported after a leak from a supplier, showing an image of the side of the shipping boxes stating the content (the upgraded Macbook) was released a few days ago.

UK pricing released for iPad

I was a bit slow off the mark with this one, but Apple have finally released UK pricing for the iPad and have set a new release date as well - the 28th of May, hopefully of this year! 


And the prices are here too, the WiFi models start with the 16gb at £429 and the most expensive being the 3G + WiFi 64gb at just off £700.

Considering that its the one of the first "next-gen" tablets to come to the market, the prices are fairly reasonable, but is still more expensive than I expected - although my predictions were using a mix between currency converters and what I thought apple could get away with.

Microsoft confirm Project Natal to launch in October

Microsoft have confirmed what had already been on the Twittermill for months, and good 'ol Wossy leaked a while back too.


That is, Project Natal, MS answer to the Wii, and in my opinion a much better one than the Playstation Move (Athough in action it does look fantastic, check out Engadget's exclusive hands-on)
