Wii Crossbow Has Laser Sight, Tip Covered by Ping Pong Ball [Peripherals]

We have seen our fare share of Wii peripherals, but the Wii Crossbow actually looks like it could be used by police officials to take down the bad guys. Sure, the ping pong ball tip doesn’t look too menacing, but we’re sure there’s a razor sharp arrow underneath.
If you’re worried aiming is going to be an issue, fret not. A laser sight is included to make sure you beat all your current scores in Link’s Crossbow Training. Priced at $28, the Wii Crossbow is priced on the steep side, but you can always take it in the garden, load it up with Nerf darts and pelt the bajeezus out of next door’s cat. Alternatively, you could use it to save some Christian aid officials that unwittingly have happened upon difficult times in war-torn Burma. You are Rambo. [Deal Extreme viaTechnabob]

iTunes Store Private Page Shows Unidentified iThingy [IWTF]

iTunes will offer private developer pages, which will host app stores for a select audience only; e.g. specialized for universities etc. Some of the pages have already been opened to those select individuals with audio and video content on offer. One such example is the Education First Educational Tours site the above picture was taken from. The site hosts an interesting, teeny-weeny image showing an iPod/iPhone hybrid type device, which seems to have a home button built in to the dock connector. What is it? We cannot say, but with all the fuss it is generating on the tubes, we thought we’d let you take a peek. Jump for a shot of the original page.
We would not get too hot under the collar. If Apple were planning to drop an iPhone nano touch OMFG pod, you can bet your ass they would have an event bigger than CES to unleash […]

“Dreambook” Cloudbook Mod Adds Touchscreen, GPS, More Ports [Mods]

Cloudbook modder, Azazel has done some extraordinary work to the Everex Cloudbook. His mod, called Dreambook, adds in a touchscreen display, internal 4-port USB hub, GPS unit and 4GB’s of flash memory. The webcam had to get the axe to fit all the new features under the hood, but we think it is a good trade off. Accorrding to Azazel, “There is a lot of room to work with,” and in that case, we demand the webcam back. The images show the naked Dreambook mod, but it will definitely look a lot better once it gets back into its space wasting skin. All in all, it’s a great effort. Bravo, Azazel.
