Samsung’s cellphone can be a joystick for gaming

What’s in the mind of Samsung? They’ve just applied for the patent for a Clamshell phone to also work as a joystick. Not too sure, how this is going to work. But in the attached picture, it shows that the hinge between the screen and the keypad is flexible enough, to let you hold the keypad portion to twist it to and from many angles. Which is exactly how a joystick works for gaming. My guess is this would be a wireless joystick that works either in a Bluetooth or WiFi manner or even wired via USB cable, to communicate with your game console. I appreciate what Samsung has done. They seem to be contributing plenty of ideas to twist around the body of the cellphone, just like what they’d done last month, patented the antenna of the cellphone to work as a USB charger.

Xbox 360 notebook converter

Good news for Xbox gamers, it seems like there is a possibility to convert your Xbox 360 into a portable one, just like a notebook. This isn’t officially confirmed yet. A product by peripheral company, Hori, which they’d likely release Compact TFT Monitor EX, an LCD that you can easily connect to your Xbox 360. As shown in the attached picture, when the LCD is affixed on top of your Xbox 360, it will become a portable game machine, which you can just bring along anywhere you go.

The 12 inch monitor outputs 720p and takes its signal from Xbox 360 via the analogue RGB cables. It’s got two speakers below the monitor for sound, and it’s also has headphone jack, which you can plug in your headphones. The only downside is there is a need to find power source for your Xbox 360 and also the monitor, which makes it isn’t truely portable. The monitor is expected to come with its own AC power adapter. Furthermore, to carry it around, you’ll need to find a bag, which is big enough to hold the two. It looks pretty much thicker than any normal laptop bag can fit. It’ll be made available in Japan, most likely in July and it will cost around $310.00. It seems like Microsoft also has plan for a portable Xbox 360, I guess adding on the Hori’s monitor should be much cheaper than getting a new portable 360.
