		<title>Unreal Engine 3 up and running on webOS, and we&#8217;ve got video!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: center"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/03/unreal-webos-101-top.jpg" alt="" /></div>
Palm just showed us the Unreal Engine 3 running on webOS, which apparently took a couple weeks to port over to the platform using that fancy new <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/PDK/">PDK</a>. It runs at a pretty smooth clip, with just a tiny bit of artifacting in our enemy's death animation. As an added bit of wow factor, Palm has it currently setup to demonstrate the game at 1 fps when in card view. Like most touchscreen shooters, this doesn't really solve the problem of simulating dual analog sticks, but it's still a fun and good looking engine for a mobile device. We're still unaware of any games that have been built for the mobile engine, which has now been shown for <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/epic-shows-off-unreal-engine-3-running-on-iphone-ipod-touch/">iPhone</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/live-from-nvidias-ces-press-event/">Tegra 2</a>, and will be headed to the iPad as well, but we have to assume we'll be seeing some before too long. Check out the webOS video after the break.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/unreal-engine-3-up-and-running-on-webos-and-weve-got-video/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Unreal Engine 3 up and running on webOS, and we've got video!</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/unreal-engine-3-up-and-running-on-webos-and-weve-got-video/">Unreal Engine 3 up and running on webOS, and we've got video!</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 11 Mar 2010 18:20:00 EST.

		<title>iPhone SDK 3.2 showing first hints of multitasking for third-party apps?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.9to5mac.com/multi-tasking-dialog-box-354246234"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/03/iphone-sdk-32-multitasking-9to5mac.jpg" alt="" /></a></div>
Naturally, we need to first disclaim this noise by saying that rumors of third-party multitasking capability in the iPhone are as old as the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/iPhoneSDK/">iPhone SDK</a> itself. That said, it's hard to ignore a new reference to a "multitasking dialog box" buried deep within the iPhone SDK 3.2 beta that -- while not new to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/iphone-sdk-3-2-beta-4-drops-in/">beta 4</a> specifically -- we're told didn't exist in 3.1.3. Now, the wildest possible speculation would have us believing that this is the very first by-product of a new multitasking system for developers that's being developed for the platform, presumably destined for an appearance in OS 4.0 when it's introduced along with new hardware this summer -- but it's just as likely that Apple will continue to keep the iPhone's multitasking capability to itself, a function it uses liberally among the phone and music apps, just to name a couple. For what it's worth, AppleInsider is citing a tipster claiming that Apple's got a "full-on solution" to multitasking that would properly address its main concern -- battery life issues -- for release this year, so maybe we'll be able to chuck those awful push notifications before we know it. Now if you'll excuse us, we'll be over here in the corner <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/palm-pre-plus-shows-off-multitasking-upgrade-with-50-simultaneou/">running a few dozen apps on our Pre Plus</a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/iphone-sdk-3-2-showing-first-hints-of-multitasking-for-third-par/">iPhone SDK 3.2 showing first hints of multitasking for third-party apps?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 11 Mar 2010 18:01:00 EST.

		<title>Switched On: Thumbs up, thumbs down at TiVo Premiere</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<em>Each week <a href="http://www.engadget.com/bloggers/ross-rubin">Ross Rubin</a> contributes <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/switchedon">Switched On</a>, a column about consumer technology.<br />
<br />
</em>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/10/switched-on-thumbs-up-thumbs-down-at-tivo-premiere/"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/03/03-02-10tivopr.jpg" /></a></div>
TiVo's announcement of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/tivopremiere">TiVo Premiere</a> represents the most significant user interface overhaul for the device in years. Based on Adobe Flash and optimized for the high-definition screens that are likely to be paired with CableCARD programming, the new user interface blends together live, recorded, and broadband content. That presentation is more akin to what we've seen from Windows Media Center, and less like TiVo's Series3 that segmented programming sources by type. TiVo has also beefed up its search capability, bringing it up to par with that of its only significant retail DVR competitor, Digeo's Moxi.<br />
<br />
The new interaction widens the user experience gap between TiVo and your average cable or satellite DVR, and TiVo has two other features that set it apart. First, no doubt reacting to the Moxi competition, TiVo long ago reinstated its lifetime service option that was so popular in the product's early years. However, those who have opted for this plan through TiVo's major platform upgrades over the years have endured more lifetime sentences than many a felon.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/switched-on-thumbs-up-thumbs-down-at-tivo-premiere/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Switched On: Thumbs up, thumbs down at TiVo Premiere</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/switched-on-thumbs-up-thumbs-down-at-tivo-premiere/">Switched On: Thumbs up, thumbs down at TiVo Premiere</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 11 Mar 2010 17:30:00 EST.

		<title>iDongle hardware iPhone jailbreak tool makes hacker life a little simpler</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.myboyfriendisageek.com/2010/hack/on-tube/"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/03/03-11-10idongle.jpg" /></a></div>
If you needed any more proof that Apple's lame <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/recent-iphone-3gs-shipments-block-jailbreaking-jailbreakers-sti/">cat-and-mouse game</a> with the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/jailbreak">iPhone jailbreak community</a> has only served to increase the scene's resourcefulness and creativity, look no further than the iDongle, a slick piece of hacker-made hardware that can jailbreak and activate an iPhone 3GS or iPod touch running OS 3.1.2 just by plugging it into the dock connector. What's more, it allows a jailbroken iPhone to be rebooted away from a computer, which is currently a problem for on-the-go hackers -- just stick this guy in your bag and you'll be good to go. There's only a dozen prototypes right now, but pre-orders are being accepted to raise funds for production -- we've got a feeling quite a few people are going to be interested.

		<title>HP rolls out &#8216;Let&#8217;s Do Amazing&#8217; ad campaign</title>

<div style="text-align: left">We'd already gotten word of HP's new $40 million "Let's Do Amazing" ad campaign <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/hp-ropes-in-dr-dre-for-lets-do-amazing-personality-makeover/">earlier today</a>, but the company has just now rolled out its first series of ads to give us some indication of how all that money is being spent. Somewhat curiously, for an ad campaign partly intended to reintroduce the HP brand to consumers, the ads stray pretty far beyond HP's consumer products (including a trip to a UPS sorting facility and the Venetian's IT department), but we do at least get to see Dr. Dre extol the benefits of HP Beats audio -- not to mention a little beatboxing from Rhys Darby of "Flight of the Conchords," who serves as the host of the ads. Head on past the break to check out the Dre ad and HP's introduction video, and hit up the link below for the rest of the series.</div>

		<title>Cellphone inventor Marty Cooper uses a Droid&#8230;. and a Jitterbug</title>

C-SPAN has, and recently took the opportunity to ask the man himself, Marty Cooper, that very question during a wide-ranging interview. While Cooper said that he has used an iPhone previously, he recently passed it on to his grandson in favor of a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/product/motorola-droid">Motorola Droid</a>, which he says he chose because he wanted to get more experience with Android. But that's not all, Cooper also revealed that he carries a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/27/jitterbug-comes-to-verizons-network-can-you-hear-me-now-guy/">Jitterbug</a> as well for when he just wants to make phone calls. Surprising for a pioneer of mobile technology? Not exactly, as Cooper actually co-founded Jitterbug with his wife, who he credits with inventing the phone.

		<title>Darkworks SDK transforms 2D games into 3D games, no 3D TV required</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.businesswire.co.uk/portal/site/uk/permalink/?ndmViewId=news_view&#38;newsId=20100311006312&#38;newsLang=en"><img hspace="4" vspace="16" align="left" border="1" alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/03/greengamer-3d.jpg" /></a>Well, wouldn't you know it? <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/3D/">3D</a> seems to be the topic of conversation here at <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/GDC/">GDC</a> , and Paris-based Darkworks is making a splash by announcing the availability of its <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/trioviz/">TriOviz</a> for Games SDK. In short, this magical software concoction is a post-process effect that allows standard 2D games to be transformed into 3D masterpieces... and you don't even need to buy a 3D television. We were briefed on the tech here at the show, and we're told that the magic happens in the software and the glasses, and unlike existing 3D technologies, other users around the house will still be able to watch you play in 2D without all those blurred edges. In other words, existing titles (for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC; sorry Wii owners!) can have a 3D experience added in, and we're guessing that a select few AAA games will be seeing a DLC pack in the near future for those who care to re-play their favorites in the third dimension. We'll be doing our best to swing by and catch a demo later today, but for now, just know that your life will never be the same once these 3D-ified games start shipping in the Spring.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/darkworks-sdk-transforms-2d-games-into-3d-games-no-3d-tv-requir/">Darkworks SDK transforms 2D games into 3D games, no 3D TV required</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 11 Mar 2010 15:33:00 EST.

		<title>JooJoo hits the FCC, reveals NVIDIA Ion, 3G card</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&#38;RequestTimeout=500&#38;calledFromFrame=N&#38;application_id=893101&#38;fcc_id=%27TX2-RTL8191SE%27"><img border="0" vspace="4" hspace="4" alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/03/2010-03-11joojop-3.jpg" /></a></div>
Well well. We'd always suspected that the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/joojoo">JooJoo</a> tablet was hiding something extra to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/joojoo-tablet-hands-on-video/">run HD video and Flash</a>, and it's just hit the FCC with full documentation and a teardown confirming that there's an NVIDIA Ion GPU paired with an Atom N270 packed inside. We're also seeing a 3G card in there, although it's unclear whether it'll be active or installed at launch -- <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/engadget-talks-joojoo-arrington-3g-and-more-with-fusion-garag/">we've been told</a> the 3G version won't be ready until sometime later this year, but things have been <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/10/joojoo-revamps-interface-ahead-of-launch-adds-local-video-playb/">changing fast</a>, so that may be in flux as well. There's also a picture showing it running Windows, but we're assuming that's just for testing purposes -- we'd also bet it'd be an easy little hack. But back to Ion for a second: our <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/ion-netbooks-head-to-head-atom-overcharged/">experience with first-gen Ion netbooks</a> has been one of decreased performance and drastically reduced battery life, so we're very curious to see how the JooJoo holds up compared to modern netbooks running Intel's Pine Trail chips and NVIDIA's Optimus-based Ion 2. We'll see -- it's supposed to ship in just a few weeks. Two more pics after the break.<br />
<br />
P.S.- Oh, and Fusion Garage got back to us yesterday with a list of supported local video formats, and it's pretty decent: AVI, MPEG-4, MOV, WMV and WMA, FLV (Flash Video), VOB, OGG, OGM and OGV, MKV (Mastroska), DiVX and XViD. We'll see how the battery holds up, though -- our very own Joanna Stern <a href="http://twitter.com/JoannaStern/status/10337677360">predicts a best case</a> of 3.5 hours with WiFi on and a video playback time of two hours.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/joojoo-hits-the-fcc-reveals-nvidia-ion-3g-card/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>JooJoo hits the FCC, reveals NVIDIA Ion, 3G card</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/joojoo-hits-the-fcc-reveals-nvidia-ion-3g-card/">JooJoo hits the FCC, reveals NVIDIA Ion, 3G card</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 11 Mar 2010 15:07:00 EST.
