A new war will be breaking out on the App Store—Street Fighter IV vs. Tekken. Namco's confirmed Tekken will be available soon for thumb-twiddling iPhone users, though the details remain as scarce as Ling Xiaoyu's costume. [Fonehome]

It's a bit pointless, because surely your TV can recognize if there's a 3D Blu-ray in the player, or the TV show you've selected is being broadcast in 3D, but Italian company Sisvel's device syncs glasses to the TV.

It will detect if active or passive glasses are being used, with Sisvel's Dario Pennisi explaining their technology is "similar to the one used on the Wii remote," and will be licensed to TV manufacturers one day:

"For active glasses, given the already high cost of the glasses and [that] these already contain a battery and some electronics, our solution comprises a capacitive sensor that ‘feels' the head of the viewer and uses this information to send infrared commands to the TV, hence the additional cost of this solution if basically zero.

"For passive glasses, the TVs have to be equipped with a camera that looks at the viewers and has some special electronics to recognize if they are wearing glasses and can differentiate between ordinary glasses and polarized glasses for stereoscopic viewing."

It's an unknown company with a lofty goal, to get their technology used by big 3D TV manufacturers. But I can't get past the fact that it shouldn't be necessary to include another step in the process when switching on the TV and sliding on the glasses. [Sisvel via Gizmag]

Curse the fact (again) I don't live in Japan! Akihabara News has greased their mitts all over Hanwa's dongle, which upgrades the audio on your laptop to that of DTS surround sound sensation.

After admitting they were—understandably—skeptical about what the dongle would do to a laptop's audio, the Windows-only peripheral comes with DTS headphones, an installation CD and detachable USB port.

Akihabara News says the dongle is "stylish and well-built," but "you won't get a sound like that produced by a real tube headphone amp since it's not a real vacuum tube." While the dongle may've gone down well with the site, the headphones were derided as being "cheap" (though with the whole bundle costing the equivalent of $45 it's not surprising really), so they used their own headphones instead.

After installing the software, you have to set the surround effects for either music or movies, with both formats working well—"the result is far from being bad," though it's "more of an amplification of the sound than a surrounding simulation."

It may only be available in Japan so far, but with Akihabara News saying it "may be the best alternative to your laptop built-in audio system," I can already sense all the Japanese export sites buying up stock. [Akihabara News]

While PlayStation still hasn't confirmed whether its motion controller will be called the Arc, the rumor mill has gone one step further this week with a forum-poster claiming it'll work alongside a Wii-like nunchuk.

GDC is kicking off over in San Francisco this week, so if ever there was a venue to announce a new add-on—or even confirmation of the name—that would be it.

The forum-poster at NeoGAF, by the name of Ichinisan, reckons the pictures he saw of the nunchuk included an analog stick, plus X and O buttons, along with L1 and L2 buttons under the D-Pad. The wand-shaped Arc meanwhile apparently has "one very big button on top" (no word if s/he meant the big glowing globe, or something else), and X, O, triangle and square buttons. The trigger is the 'T' command, according to this mysterious poster—who could very well be full of shit, as he's just a junior member of the forums. He does comment that "it's actually long, not like the Wii Nunchuk"—which measures 22.9 x 17.8 x 5.7cm. [NeoGAF via VG247 via TechRadar]

You'd be able to conceive and give birth to a baby faster than the Tron Legacy takes to come out (just nine months and nine days left!), but here's a trailer to sate you for a while longer.

You won't be able to make much out in the leaked video, but hey—there's audio! Here's the official synopsis, if you missed it last time:

TRON: LEGACY is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that's unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (GARRETT HEDLUND), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (JEFF BRIDGES), looks into his father's disappearance and finds himself pulled into the digital world of Tron where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin's loyal confidant Quorra (OLIVIA WILDE), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey of escape across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.

How about someone at Disney, still high off their "Up" win at the Oscars yesterday, press the button and make the official trailer appear on YouTube? Anyone? [Giant Freakin Robot via Digg]

Seen back in January at CES, the 17.5mm thick LG X300 netbook's formally been announced as going on sale this month to our South American, Asian and Middle Eastern friends. It's worth considering if you're wanting a Windows 7 netbook.

Cast your mind back a few months, and you'll recall it caused quite a storm due to its slinky size. Its 11.6-inch LCD screen doesn't have much of a bezel to speak of, and the chiclet tiled keyboard is close to full-size. Check the press release below for the full story on the Dell Adamo-like netbook. (I say Dell Adamo rather than the MacBook Air, due to how square and tray-like it is). [LG]

LG Electronics (LG), a global leader and technology innovator in mobile communications, today announced the launch of the LG X300, the ultra-thin premium mobile PC. Its sleek and stylish look wowed the visitors at CES 2010 in Las Vegas.

"Given how demanding and discerning consumers are nowadays, we were delighted to receive such acclaim from the public and media at the CES for our new mobile PC," said Dr. Skott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. "It's a vindication of LG's efforts to maintain the very highest standards in design without any sacrifices in high-tech or functionality, and ensure our consumers' experiences with LG PCs just keep getting better."

The LG X300, LG's new flagship mobile computing device for 2010, tips the scales at a mere 970g and is only 17.5mm thick for the ultimate in portability.

What's more, the LG X300 boasts an array of enticing design features. The sleek but wide 11.6-inch LCD screen maximizes the viewing area by eschewing a bezel. Also, its unique reflective keyboard and borderless touchpad add further elegance to this premium mobile PC. To offer the complete package for the most style-conscious users, the LG X300 comes in two colors, shiny white and light brown.

Fitted with a 2.0 GHz Intel Menlow platform with up to 2GB memory and 128GB SSD, the LG X300 runs Windows 7 Home Premium OS and ships with a spare 2-cell battery to provide up to seven hours of use. Thanks to its fan-less, silent operation, the portable PC is also extremely quiet to run, while the LG Smart Pack – LG's smartest software suite for PC users – ensures the LG X300 is easy to use, even for novices.

The LG X300 packs multimedia features including a 1.3-megapixel webcam with a You-Cam viewer, and SRS TruSurround HD sound. And thanks to an embedded 3G modem chipset, users can easily get online via GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, or HSDPA networks.

The LG X300 will be available in Asia starting in March, followed by the Middle East and South America. Prices will vary country-to-country and will be announced separately in each market.

At first it's similar to the first one, but then the new Iron Man 2 trailer turns into a mess of new footage, battle suit armies, suitcase armor, and some hot chick firing a palm gun. Wowza!
