viaGobandit Live with WiFi offers thrill-seekers quicker sharing, speedier self-indulgence.
Two years ago, the Gobandit GPS HD brought an action camcorder to the masses that actively tracked location, speed and altitude. In the same tradition, the Gobandit Live brings an expanded set of features geared toward adrenaline junkies, which include a gyroscopic sensor, 1080p capture at 30fps, a 170-degree f/2.8 wide angle lens and — oh yeah, WiFi. While this last feature certainly won’t be usable on the mountain or along the trail, it allows clips to be uploaded instantly once the camera is back within range. For those who’d rather do without WiFi, the Gobandit Race provides an otherwise similar feature set at a lower price. Both will be available in the US and Canada beginning March 1st, and will retail for $419 and $319, respectively. The full PR is just beyond the break, though if you want to learn more, check the company’s website instead.

Hanvon C-18 Mirasol e-reader hands-on (video)

Qualcomm unveiled its new C-18 Mirasol e-reader yesterday, and today, we managed to get our hands on it here at CES. Manufactured by Hanvon, this device is officially labeled as an e-reader, though to be honest, it felt more like a tablet to us. Unlike the lightweight Kindle, the C-18 felt a tad heavy in our hands, with backlighting more typical of a slate than reader. It also runs its own Android skin, which raises some interesting questions of how many Android apps it would support. The color Mirasol display certainly piqued our interests, though we’ll have to wait a little bit longer before we get a closer look at it, as the C-18 won’t hit the Chinese market until February, with no set date for a US launch yet (price remains equally opaque). For more details, check out our gallery below, along with the hands-on video, after the break.

via3DS eShop to get free game demos, Nintendo throws users DLC bone.
Never let it be said that good things don’t come to those who wait and wait and… well, you get the point. Having finally delivered a much-delayed firmware update to the 3DS last December, the Big N appears ready to make good on its DLC promises. Starting tomorrow, gamers visiting the eShop will be able to take a tour of Racoon City and fire off a few shots at its zombie denizens with a downloadable demo of Resident Evil Revelations. The company’s only announced one other title, Mario & Sonic At The London Olympic Games, for later this month, but plans are on deck to refresh the service with new trial content from Rayman Origins and Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D, amongst others in the coming year. Sure, it’s no Kid Icarus, but this is Nintendo we’re talking about — you have to take what you can get.

Kindle Fire firmware update 6.2.2 brings full-screen browsing

viaKindle Fire firmware update 6.2.2 brings full-screen browsing.
The fine folks over at Amazon have further flushed out the firmware on its fiercely popular Fire tablet. Upgrading your Kindle Fire to version 6.2.2 will bring a handful of small performance tweaks, bugs fixes and, most notably, add a full-screen mode to the device’s Silk browser. If you’ve gone ahead and rooted your Fire, applying the firmware bump will kill superuser access — although a fresh build of BurritoRoot 2 should get you back on the straight and narrow. The new code is being pushed out over-the-air as we type, while those that enjoy the endorphin rush associated with instant gratification — and know how to manually update a Kindle — can find a link to the 6.2.2 firmware file below. Happy updating!
