Women and children: targeting a new demographic for PSP {Joystiq Playstation}
Jun 4th 2008 11:10AM It's about time...will be interesting to see whether they can deliver.
As the mom of a teenager, I know I'm not the main target demographic, but there's gotta be more people like me out there. I have a long bus commute, and the PSP makes it painless. I have been wondering why there aren't more games targeted to women -- RPGs that aren't too convoluted, games with female protagonists, and even games with shiny sparkly things. Lately I've been playing mostly Jeanne d'Arc, Patapon, and Jewel Quest, with the occasional flOw thrown in. Where are the rest of the games for women?
Pink PSP vs. P!ink PSP, or, Classy vs. Trashy {Engadget}
Nov 6th 2006 10:17AM I can't speak for all women, but pink is my favorite color. I'm all over this - not the P!nk version (I just don't want to have to look at her picture on the box), but I can't wait to see the regular pink PSP. I have never been all that interested in the PSP before, but now I'm seriously considering getting one. There is an incredible dearth of products targeted to girl gamers, and I think Sony will clean up on this one.
SMS to the rescue: texting saves boy's life {Engadget Mobile}
Oct 6th 2006 10:02AM The "child" in this story was 17 years old. Don't get me wrong, it's awful that this happened, and thank goodness he was able to text-message his SOS. But why did he think a 58-yr-old sheep breeder paid for his plane ticket to a remote Georgia farm?

Pearl alternative? Samsung T719 now on T-Mobile {Engadget Mobile}
Sep 26th 2006 12:03PM You are absolutely right about the browser and Java limitations, but the T719 size is not that different from the Pearl. It's just .05 inches longer, .12 inches thicker, and almost half an inch shorter. And, I suspect it will actually ring when it's in one's pocket...
Samsung SGH-T719 with SureType coming soon to T-Mobile {Engadget Mobile}
Sep 19th 2006 8:11PM I saw one of these at a T-Mobile store today, and it looks supah cool. The display is gorgeous, the phone feels solid, the keys are backlit in electric blue, and has a BlackBerry heart. It might be a good alternative if they can't fix my BlackBerry Pearl issue (won't ring when it's in my pocket). According to the T-Mo rep, the Samsung T719 is due to launch next week, 9/25/06.
Motorola's RAZR V3c in pink {Engadget}
Feb 1st 2006 12:34PM McVan, thank you so much! I ordered the pink V3c online yesterday (the ad said ONLY available online), but after reading your entry, I cancelled that order and ran over to Best Buy for the $149 deal. I had to go throuh 2 tiers of customer service at Verizon to get it done, but saved myself $100. And you were right, it is adorable!
