You must watch this video. A portable PC with a dynamic keyboard that can change to any game with icons, pics or letters and a ultra-sensitive multi touch screen. This is what every PC gamer has wanted for a long time. I can only imagine the possibilities with this PC and keyboard on games like WOW, BF2, and Starcraft 2.

If you want to see the complete lists:
/cmdlist – will produce a list of commands
/cvarlist – will produce a list of console variables
/bindlist
Will produce a list of all currently bound commands.
/bind
One of the most basic commands, this will “bind”, or assign a command to a particular key.
Usage: /bind ” ”
Example: /bind space “+zoom”
/say
Will produce a chat message onscreen. Used with the /bind command, this is an easy way to set up chat messages.
Example: bind F5 say “that hurt!”
Do NOT abuse this command. Spamming servers with lots of useless chat is an easy way to get kicked off a server.
/say_team
Allows you to send private messages to your teammates.
/messagemode 2
Bind this command to a key to enter “team chat” mode. Anything you type after this command will only be sent to your teammates.
/kill
Will cause you to commit suicide. A handy way to lose a frag.
/quit
Quits the game.
Now you can access second life anywhere with your AT&T tilt. Vollee has created a Second Life client that will allow you to go in world anywhere you have a 3G or WiFi connection. You can fly or teleport yourself anywhere in the world. Talk with your friends and chat or IM completely free. Vollee is going to launch new games soon according to their website.
Know of any good games for the AT&T tilt? If yes post them in the comments.
Quite recently, Microsoft issued a mandatory update for the Xbox 360 Dashboard via Xbox LIVE. This update is called the NXE or ‘New Xbox Experience’. There are lots of great features in this update, besides the new 3D interface.
One of my personal favorites is the ability to install your games to the Xbox 360′s Hard Drive. This is extremely useful for a few reasons, the first being that it will in most cases make load times faster. Very often it does nothing, and in the case of Halo 3, it increases the load time. The second, and probably more important reason is that it makes your Xbox 360 almost silent. This is because the DVD drive in the Xbox no longer needs to spin, the drive generates most of the noise that the Xbox is constantly put down for.
Installing the games is quite simple. All you need is your Xbox and the game you want to install.
Once you have the Disc in the tray and the Xbox is sitting on the Dashboard screen, scroll to ‘My Xbox’ and select the game you want to install. Do not press the ‘A’ Button. Instead press the ‘Y’ button. This will bring you to a game details screen, from which you can choose the ‘Install to hard drive’ option.
The process usually takes about 15-30 minutes depending on various factors. When this is finished, you’re free to play away!
I do have one problem with the technology though. When I first heard about it, I thought I could stop changing the Discs in my Xbox 360 and just press a button to switch games. Unfortunately, not so. You still need to have the game in the DVD drive for proof of ownership. (Please Microsoft, make this happen in the next Dashboard update)
Happy gaming!
