Early this summer we posted an exclusive sneak preview of NimbleBit's upcoming frog management title Pocket Frogs, which is something of a follow-up to their popular Dizzypad. The developer has recently posted a video showing the game in action and provided us with additional screenshots.

Pocket Frogs is a game of raising, breeding, and trading frogs. Each of your frogs will have three specific genetic traits that they inherit from their parent frogs, which according to NimbleBit will result in "many thousand possible emergent species." There are going to be multiple customizable habitats to raise your frogs in, and players will be responsible for keeping the frogs healthy, happy, and well fed by taking them out to explore the�Pocket Frog pond.

Aside from breeding frogs, players will be able to get new frogs by ordering them in-game as well as trading frogs with friends via Plus+. There are also plans to have various challenges to breed certain frogs which rotate on a weekly and monthly basis and the frog store will rotate on a daily with new frogs to buy with in-game currency. NimbleBit is still hashing out plans on exactly how they're going to monetize�Pocket Frogs, but have assured me that players will be able to access absolutely everything in game for free and whatever in-app purchases they finally decide on will be intended for serious frog breeders and otherwise entirely optional.

Pocket Frogs will be a free download, available for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, and will take advantage of the iPhone 4's high-resolution Retina display. The game is slated for a September 15th launch, and those who download the title in its first week will receive an exclusive frog, the 'Black Floris Tribus'.

You must have have heard about the PUSH N900 Challenge which took place back in 2009 where we saw a lot of hackers doing really cool things with the N900. The Tilt n Roll game is a brainchild of the same challenge and its a contribution from the Solderin Skaters which comprises of 6 individuals -- Keywan Tonekaboni, Nick Thomas, Jan Anlouff, Sebastian Zehe, Erik Weitnauer and Alexander Lenhard.

In this game the skater is fitted with pressure pads, motion sensors and carries Nokia N900 in the pocket. The developers have used their coding skills to recognize tricks and moves performed by the skater and awards points depending on the performance.

Watch another video which gives a more detailed overview of the project for PUSH N900 competition

Android 2.2, NVIDIA Tegra 2, and 3-Axis Accelerometer, ideal for 3D gaming. These are just few of the super attractive features that make the eLocity A7 a killer tablet worth trying. Why buy the iPad unless you madly love Apple or any other tablet when you have an economically perfect tablet with features the same as most other tablets?

Few might not feel blown away by the launch of eLocity A7 due to various brands that seem to outshine it yet I would recommend giving it ago. The 2.6 x 5.5 x 9.5 inch tablet weighs two pounds and for now ships within US only.

A7 also boasts of Dual ARM 9 CPU 1GHz clock speed with eight separate processors that are capable of running independently or if required together so as to deliver higher performance. The tablet can be customized as per requirements due to various Android apps available on the market and has WiFi for faster connectivity.

If the 7 inches screen isnt enough for you then you can enjoy the same output on your TV screen using the HDMI output which will deliver 1080p HD video quality. The tablet costs $370 and henceforth becomes a steal for Android fans.

In the retail world you dont have to be the owner of any gadget to overtake the sale of the same. It wasnt long back when T-Mobile announced the launch of G2 to be the end of September 2010 it didnt release any exact launch dates.

We knew that soon we will announce the exact launch dates of the G2 but we never expected Best Buy to get ahead of their supplier this quickly. Best Buy have started taking orders for G2 without any confirmations from T-Mobile.

By adding the T-Mobile G2 with Google to its assortment, Best Buy Mobile furthers its position as the place for consumers to research and purchase the smart phone that is right for their needs. Best Buy Mobile has the most under smart phones under one roof, including the iPhone 4, HTC EVO 4G Black or White version, the full line of Samsung Galaxy smart phones and the BlackBerry Torch, among others.

Best Buy has already started to take pre-orders for T-Mobile G2 and will launch the T-Mobile G2 in stores from October 6th. G2 will be available in Best Buy stores for $199 under a two year contract. Though T-Mobile might come up with some other pricetag for the G2 yet one can be rest assured that it will be around $199 which is perfect for the Android loaded smartphone. The irony is, users and customers will always go for whoever offers what they want first.

Though just a concept in the making, the icoffee seems like a fantastic idea and it should provide you with fresh coffee at all the time and all you need to do is carry it in your pocket. Inside icoffee theres a refillable water tank and a rechargeable battery that allows you to make coffee with a press of a button. Besides that, icoffee comes with four synthesized ceramic cups. Since the cups are made out of ceramic, they are tough and damage resistant and they wont burn your fingers even if you pour hot coffee in them. It looks futuristic and your friends would find it difficult guessing what it actually is. It is white, it has metallic smooth look, and when you see it, you wont even know thats a coffee maker.

To be truthful though, well probably not see anything like this anytime soon. Sure, it looks great and it will come handy to all coffee drinkers whod like to have their coffee fix with them at all times. Just imagine how cool it would be for you to carry a coffee maker that can hold four cups of coffee within your pocket whenever you want.
