Let’s face it, us geeks are not terribly fit. We’re really good at sitting in front of the computer, while our fingers and hands may be hard at work, not really any other part of our body is! So maybe this could help us out. Chris Hall from Pocket-lint have got a list of gadgets here which are not just fun gadgets in its own right but also provides ways (application) in which their technology could possibly help get us fit again.

I know quite alot of our readers here have the iPhone, the StepTrak Lite app from the App Store is free and is basically a pedometer on your iPhone. It’s not bad at all for those who may want to start ‘lite’ with some gentle walking first :) , it’s free so why not give it a go?
Here’s a screenshot of StepTrak Lite:

Its been such a long time since I even heard anyone mention about this game. Some of you who have owned the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) in the past may have even had this game come with it. Though this version of Duck Hunt isn’t exactly created by the same developers who brought the original game to life on the NES, Duck Hunt on the iPhone is played basically in the same way, which is fantastic!

There are a few differences though, there is now a Nintendo 64 style joystick controller on the iPhone’s touch screen instead of the regular keypad the NES had.

And according to Venturebeat’s analysis…

Still, the game is missing four crucial ingredients. First, it doesn’t have the game’s classic dog to pick up the dead ducks for you when you shoot them and laugh at you when you miss them (the developers note this is coming). Second, the game doesn’t have any sound, so it lacks the great mocking laugh the dog makes (the developers also note that this is coming). Third, it doesn’t have the awesome Nintendo Zapper gun (sadly, this won’t be coming, so I can’t put it up to the screen and cheat). Fourth, I’m guessing it doesn’t have Nintendo’s blessing.

I guess the fourth factor is the most crucial, though the Duck Hunt iPhone version’s developers have already acknowledged Nintendo in their application notes and called their emulator the iPES for iPhone Entertainment System. This probably won’t be enough to keep it around, so if you want Duck Hunt for your iPhone, it would be a good idea to get it through the App Store when you can (for $0.99).

If you fancy checking out how well Duck Hunt plays on your iPhone first, then watch this quick video below…

Well so much for all our excitement in showing you guys the video of the Kogan Agora Android phone in action, because it’s production has now been suspended indefinitely. This simply means it’s probably unlikely that you’ll ever get to see released into the market. The excuse? “Due to future interoperability issues”…

If you own the Mac Mini or any PC similar in size, you will know how convenient it is to have a computer that small for your everyday needs. However thus far, the limitation of these mini PCs have been their overall performance, not that they’re not good, they’re just missing something.

Imagine this, an entire PC, capable of decoding and playing full 1080p HD video content, in a box that fits in the palm of your hand with a 3″ x 4″ motherboard. Based on Intel’s 1.6GHz Atom 330 processor with the hearty support of NVIDIA’s GeForce 9400M core logic MCP with 16 integrated GeForce graphics cores, NVIDIA’s Ion has to be one of the most capable Atom-based small form-factor solutions to be built thus far.
Check out the video below in which, Drew Henry, General Manager of NVIDIA’s MCP Business Unit covers NVIDIA’s tiny new Ion small form factor PC platform equipped with the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M.

USB gadgets: DDR RAM like Segon Turbo Flash Drive

The Segon Turbo flash drive is one of those eye-raising drives which are sure to turn heads wherever they go. Hang around with them in your college campus or office and you’re bound to get well-deserved geeky crown. As can be seen, the drive sports the same appearance as DDR RAM. Another interesting thing about this drive is its push-pull design. Brando termed it as a carry-on memory that gives the most shocking and cool experience.
