When I saw Dan R’s iPhone case from Elago I immediately  copped one off Amazon.  The sleek  slim fitting case come’s in a assortment of colors with a soft rubberized feel.
Also there’s Elago’s iPhone Multimedia stand, available Amazon. I’d post the prices but you’ll feel better clicking on the link and seeing the bargains these items.

After showing Rontronik the iPhone cases  he linked me  Mophie ’s website for there the Juice Pack Air Chargers. (more…)

Vestax Spin DJ Controller

It’s been a while since I’ve flexed on the 1&2’s, part of the reason is because of the complicated setup of  Traktor and Serato.
Don’t get me wrong, these programs are the industry standard and with good reason, but sometimes you just want to play music for your peeps and leave the rest to the professionals.

That said, I’m considering the Vestax Spin DJ Controller with DJay software ( supposedly it has seamless integration with  iTunes),however because  it’s an Apple exclusive I have reservations.

The controller in my opinion should have a wider release, but Apple relinquishing control of  product they’re connected to is not going to happen(The AT&T iPhone Fiasco). Hopefully I can get one off  Ebay and take Apple out of the Loop.-Blac Ren-

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 dropped yesterday.  I managed to get a few boards in, and I have to tell you  Infinity Ward’s repeat effort for the award winning franchise is well worth the wait.

So far its graphics and presentattion are the best this year.  The battle scenes are intense but I find myself squinting to find the enemy.   There wont be a final verdict until I finish it, I’m still on Gears of Wars 2 and Batman :-).

That said, for a  more robust review  I’ll leave that to you and the guys at IGN, your thoughts?  For IGN’s Video Review (more…)

Nick Martinez reviews FIFA 2010.
EA Sports’ FIFA 10 Dominates the Virtual Pitch (X-Box 360)

EA Sports’ FIFA soccer franchise often polarizes members of the video gaming community - - gamers either love each year’s iteration or they reject it in favor of its competitor, Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer. FIFA 10, this year’s football based foray, breaks away from this paradigm and delivers a realistic and highly entertaining soccer experience - - from the referee’s first whistle right down to the game-winning goal in stoppage time. EA Canada, the game’s developers, caters to gamers’ need for their FIFA fix right way - - the moment the FIFA 10 disc enters their X-Box 360 console, players are immediately transported onto their favorite club’s practice pitch. While there, they can perfect one on one striking skills against a goalkeeper, practice free kick set pieces (and for the first time in the series, create their own custom formations) or hold an inter-squad team scrimmage to test out their side’s starting 11.

Do we have a new challenger to Akai’s APC40 (Abelton MIDI controller)?

Enter the Novation Launchpad. It’s $199. It’s a grid controller and nothing else, with a set of on/off buttons in an 8×8 array, plus additional shortcut buttons around the sides for switching modes. It’s set up out of the box to integrate with Ableton Live, but it also acts as a generic MIDI controller. It’s bus powered, really lightweight, and compact. -createdigitalmusic.com- For info read the in depth article HERE.
