Sanyo shows off new portable power source for iPhone, iPad, Nintendo DS and more...

Looking forward to trying this -- eneloop batteries are excellent, so the 'eneloop mobile booster' should be a major hit before long. No pricing info yet, but I'd guess somewhere around the ¥5,000 mark...

Introducing Facemakr - Avatar Creator Pro for iPhone and iPad

Hawken at Dadako Studios joins us to put our collective shoulders behind the all-new Facemakr!

It's truly an amazing (and beautiful) piece of work and is the only high-end avatar creator for the iPhone and iPad - nothing comes close, plus it plays nicely with Twitter, Facebook et al...

iPhone HDR photography courtesy of Pro HDR app

I'll readily admit I'm no photographer, but the results of these quick snapshots around Harajuku in Tokyo today tell me eyeApps, the developer of Pro HDR, is onto something special.

Some of the skies came out looking a touch too thundery, but overall I was incredibly impressed and can see this getting used ahead of standard photo editors, like Photogene (an old favorite of mine) and its ilk.

More info on the $1.99 iPhone app right here.

iLunascape - a (free) tabbed iPad browser from Japan

It's interesting to see a proper alternative to Safari for the iPad, but is iLunascape just that bit too far out on a limb?

Why iPad 2 Is coming and what to expect...

It's a fair punt to suggest we'll see iPad 2 before the end of the year, so is it time to get those ancient old models on eBay already? Surely not...

Apple under fire again: "Apple’s batteries over-hyped?"

It's all about the fact that these are really rebranded Sanyo Eneloops -- it's a legitimate gripe about Apple's BS machine, but Sanyo does fantastic batteries anyway.

Japan's 3D market takes off, but it comes with a health warning

Not many cases of 3D sickness yet, but I know I'm *sick* of paying extra in the cinema to borrow a pair of glasses just so I can see a considerably duller screen.

Studios, stick to plotting, not gimmicks, please.

PS Totally loved Toy Story 3 in spite of the 3D :)
