How many TV’s have you gone through? Knocked anyone unconscious or handed out a black eye or two? Well Nintendo feels your pain.

This morning Nintendo announced that they will be sending out free “silicone Wii Remote Jackets” — up to four per Wii owner.

This could be a saving grace for anyone who is a little “aggressive” when it comes to playing Wii Tennis.

Nintendo has the form up where you can request your free remote jackets.

Qualcomm to put Xbox360's Unified Shader Architecture in Mobiles

>> From electronicsweekly.com:
[QUOTE]
AMD has licensed the graphics processor technology behind the Xbox 360 to mobile phone chipset supplier Qualcomm.

This agreement will bring AMD's patented Unified Shader Architecture, first introduced in the Microsoft Xbox 360 gaming system, to Qualcomm's Mobile Station Modem (MSM) chipset for integration on mobile handsets.

Last week, Qualcomm told EW.com that it expected the design of mobile phones to move closer to PC-like platforms within the next two years. This AMD licence indicates that high performance graphics will be a key part of that trend.

New ZUNE??!!!

YAY! The day has finally arrive! How excited are you? I’m sure you don’t want to read my rambling - on to the details!

Hard drive Zunes

* It’s called the Zune 80 and, shockingly enough, it has 80GB of storage.
* Uses the new Zune Pad — four way touch-sensitive d-pad (with up, down, left, and right buttons).
* It will sell for $250 (with “premium” headphones).
* Available only in black (to start).
* Screen size has increased to 3.2-inches (from 3-inches). As far as we know the resolution is still QVGA.
* Dimensions are 61.1 x 108.2 x 12.9mm (2.4 x 4.25 x 0.5-inches), some 1/3rd smaller than the classic Zune.
* The classic Zune will now be known as the Zune 30 — it’s not going anywhere. More on that in a sec.

New flash Zunes

* Zune 8 and Zune 4 are the names for the 8 and 4GB flash based models.
* Also uses the Zune Pad.
* These will sell for $200 and $150 respectively.
* Both will be available in pink, green, black, and red.
* It will feature a 1.8-inch screen (compare to the nano’s 2-inch screen).
* Dimensions are 41.4 x 91.5 x 8.5mm (1.6 x 3.6 x 0.33-inches) — compare to the new iPod nano, at 69.8 x 52.3 x 6.5mm (2.75 x 2.0 x 0.26-inches).

Everything else

* New Zunes ship in November, date not yet announced.
* All Zunes (including the Zune 30) will have a new, redesigned interface and feature parity. In other words, early Zune 30 adopters will have all the same software features as new Zune 80, 8, and 4 users.
* Additional native video codecs for h.264 and MPEG-4 — users no longer need transcode those file types to WMV.
* WiFi sync to host computer! Includes moving over music, movies, photos, podcasts, etc.
* Podcast support! (Sorry, no over the air downloads — sync only.) Podcasts can also be shared via WiFi.
* The 3×3 song sharing DRM has had its three day restriction removed, but users can still only play files three times.
* There is still NO wireless music store.
* The Zune software is all new and rewritten, and is supposed to actually be more than a rebadge of WMP10 now. Friggin finally.
* The Zune music store is going DRM-free, with over 1m MP3 tracks being made available for download. Other details (like which labels, whether there is a DRM-free upgrade path is for users who’ve bought music with DRM, price differences, etc.) are not yet revealed.
