Today marks the arrival of the optio W80. It’s not only waterproof, but now it’s shockproof, dustproof and coldproof. Dunk it under 16-feet of under, drop it from 3.3-feet high or subject it to sub-freezing temps (14 degrees Fahrenheit) and the W80 will keep on kickin’. → Read More

The rumor mill is churning, churning. Not too much, though, because it only squirted out a little bit of Zune HD-related info: some leaked Microsoft documents say the OLED-screened, Tegra-powered, HD-outputting next-generation media player will be coming out on September 8th.

So one thing I’ve noticed when looking at the accessory packs for handheld gaming units, is that they usually have a bunch of crap you don’t need. I mean, who actually uses an individual plastic case for each of their games? It’s silly.
