Fanatec has been around for years now and the company makes some awesome racing wheels and pedals for gamers. The thing that I have long wanted for my Xbox 360 and the Forza Motorsports racing games is a steering wheel with force feedback. This has kept me using Gran Turismo and my Logitech G27 racing wheel. Fanatec has a new and very awesome racing wheel that I really want for Forza 4 when it lands. The wheel is called the CSR Elite and it will work on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. The racing wheel is officially licensed by Microsoft and Turn 10 with the Forza logo right in the center of the racing wheel. The wheel doesn’t come with pedals, but if you own a Logitech G25 or G27 there is an adapter that will allow the use of those pedals and you can buy accessory pedals from Fanatec. A pair of 120W motors handles the force feedback effects and there are two more vibration motors in the rim of the wheel. The center of the racing wheel is real carbon fiber and the wheel is actually trimmed i

If you have been hoping that Samsung would launch a Windows Phone 7.5 Mango device that was along the lines of the Galaxy S II, the new Samsung Focus S may be the device. AT&T will be getting the smartphone andoffered up the specs on the device earlier this month. There was also speculation that Samsung was readying a Galaxy S II style device with Mango before. We already know that the Focus S will pack in Mango, a 1.4GHz processor, and will have a 4.3-inch WVGA super AMOLED Plus screen. That sounds like a nicely featured smartphone. The device will also have an 8MP rear camera that can record 720p video and a 1.3MP front camera. The phone that has surfaced is the first one of the smartphone we have seen. It sitting on top of some sort of tablet and gulping power from the USB cable that charges the device. We might see the official unveiling of the phone complete with all the official pics we want any day now. Does a phone with Galaxy S II style running Mango appeal to you?

True HD smartphones could become more common and more affordable in the near future, with Hitachi announcing a new 4.5-inch IPS LCD panel running at 1280 x 720. The amorphous silicon-based TFT promises to be cheaper than existing high-res smartphone panels, which have generally used low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) to bypass issues with the extra wiring necessary for 720p HD and above resolutions. It’s a panel fit for Apple, indeed, running at a Retina Display besting 329ppi. The specifications, in fact, are broadly similar to the 4.5-inch LTPS 720p panel Hitachi showed off back in February (and shown in the image above), though the new panel should be more affordable. Both offer 500 cd/m2 brightness and 16.77m color support, along with 160-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles. The original LTPS panel does have a slightly better contrast ratio, however, at 1,100:1 (the new version runs at 1,000:1). Hitachi, however, has worked on the aperture of each pixel so as to reduce th

Metrics firm Nielsen has unveiled new statistics that came from a survey that was done in August. The new survey showed that things are looking better for Android than it was back in July. The latest figures show that as of August Android smartphones are owned by 43% of all smartphone users. The metrics also indicate that the market is starting to lean towards Android for new users. Of the users that purchased smartphones in the last three months, 56% of them purchased an Android device. Nielsen says that the number of people choosing a device in the last three months is a good indicator of where the market is headed. The numbers show that iOS is still in second place with 28% of all smartphone users on the Apple OS. The percentage of users that purchased an iOS device in the last three months is 28% as well. That number for the last three months could be skewed by people that know a new iPhone is inbound and are waiting to see what lands. The next iPhones are rumored to be landing in

Spotify is reportedly seeing 250,000 new users join each day, in the aftermath of its deal with Facebook last week, with monthly active users leaping by 1m to 4.4m. The figures, shared by music industry consultancy MusicAlly, contrasts sharply with criticism of Spotify’s decision to tie new sign-ups up with the social network. Spotify currently offers six months of its unlimited access package free to new users. However, to get that unlimited access package, you’ll need to have a Facebook account, since the company has merged its own login system and that of the social network. In a statement, also given to MusicAlly, Spotify described it as “like a virtual ‘passport’, designed to make the experience smoother and easier.” Although that mandatory registration didn’t go down well with Facebook’s critics, the usage figures would suggest that people are quite content to register with the service if there’s free music to be had. After the initial six months of unlimited access, Spotify down

LG has officially announced the Optimus EX, its latest Android smartphone, and promising a super-bright 700 nits IPS display. Leaked last week, the LG Optimus EX has a 1.2GHz Tegra 2 dual-core processor, while that super-bright screen runs to 4-inches and WVGA resolution. There’s also WiFi Direct support along with a DMB digital TV tuner for, you guessed it, South Korean use only. LG is positioning the Android 2.3 smartphone as a slimline balance of outdoor usability and pocketability. It measures just 9.65mm thick and weighs 127g, but there’s still HDMI connectivity (along with DLNA support for those who prefer to do their multimedia distribution wirelessly). SK Telecom will be the first to get the Optimus EX, though we wouldn’t rule out North American and European versions of the smartphone as LG moves to replace the Optimus 2X and its carrier-branded variants. We wouldn’t argue with a screen bright enough to be used outdoors with no fear of direct sunlight, though it’s a shame LG co

Keith Rabois, COO of mobile payment firm Square was on hand at the GigaOM mobilize conference and made a statement that NFC has no value. He went so far as to say that he has never met a retailer that said they wanted NFC tech in their store. Like many things tech, HFC needs a certain critical mass before it is appealing to the consumer. All retailers are really only interested in what the consumer wants, this is how they choose what products to stock. Once NFC reaches the point where consumers are interested and it’s readily available in smartphones and other products, retailers will start to become interested in NFC. Google is rolling out its NFC Google wallet system and will eventually offer NFC stickers that allow consumers that have smartphones and their devices that lack internal NFC to make payments. The ecosystem is growing with a big name behind it. Rabois thinks that despite the growing ecosystem, most consumers are still not interested in NFC tech. I think that before many p

HTC’s October 6 press event will indeed feature a new Beats Audio equipped handset, with the company confirming that the London debut will include a party open to the public. No indication of which specific device is given on the invite HTC has just sent us, though a set of Beats-branded headphones – as included with the HTC Sensation XE - leaves little doubt as to its musical credentials. The likely candidate is the HTC Runnymede, aka the HTC Bass, which we saw in a leaked video late last week. An Android phone – though HTC has said it is looking at bringing Beats Audio to Windows Phone devices in future – the Runnymede/Bass is believed to have a 4.7-inch display, an 8-megapixel camera and HTC Sense 3.5 as on the Rhyme. HTC UK’s Facebook page has confirmed that the party venue is at The Roundhouse in Camden, London, and has more information on how you can score tickets. Apparently 1,001 will be on offer, with HTC running a competition to see who gets one.

Let’s face it; the only thing keeping a bunch of subscribers from vacating Sprint in droves is the fact that the carrier is still offering unlimited data. Not too long ago Sprint announced that it was putting a cap on the data plan for its hotspots. The cap Sprint put on hotspot data usage was 5GB with some very steep overage fees if you wanted to use more. I would wager a bunch of subscribers saw the unlimited data use on the hotspots changing to capped use as a bit of writing on the wall. Apparently, the carrier fears that graffiti will cause subscriber exodus and has confirmed that it will be keeping the unlimited data on its smartphone plans. The real question to me is the same as it has always been, is unlimited data enough to keep customers on a network that is not as good as competitors offerings in some areas. There is a big reason why customers are leaving Sprint in droves and that is the lack of a significant stable of appealing devices on the network and the fact that in man

The Nokia N9 has begun shipping, the Finnish company has confirmed, with stocks of the MeeGo smartphone headed to pre-order customers and stores. Priced at €480 ($650) for the 16GB model or €560 ($759) for the 64GB version, three color versions of the N9 are on offer: blue, red or black. For the moment, they’ll be the only way to enjoy the platform Nokia had originally bet its future on. MeeGo was to be the triumphant Symbian replacement, but tardy development and a roadmap with fewer devices pinned to it than Nokia needed meant the company looked elsewhere, eventually settling on Windows Phone and a partnership with Microsoft. That’s not to say MeeGo is bad: in our brief time with the N9 we were impressed at the swipe-happy navigation system, clean UI and the slick hardware it was all wrapped up in. That hardware style will be carried forward to at least one Windows Phone device. Actually finding a place to buy an N9 may be the biggest issue outstanding, with the list of countries whe

Apple has been denied the “multi-touch” trademark, with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) deciding that it had already become generic in its usage. Although Apple attempted to trademark the term on the same day that the original iPhone was launched, January 9, 2007, the initial registration was rejected; Apple’s appeal has similarly been denied, with the USPTO saying that “the examining attorney was not persuaded by applicant’s showing of acquired distinctiveness.” While Apple presented evidence indicating that it had used the term multi-touch first, in describing the way the iPhone’s touchscreen could recognize multiple points of contact rather than just one single point, the USPTO felt that evidence was insufficient in “establishing that the purchasing public associates the term multi-touch with applicant.” Apple’s trademark lawyers had highlighted the extreme success and brand-recognition of the iPhone, but the USPTO decided that “evidence pertaining to the succe
