Panasonic VS-HPS200S Cordless Phone and Tablet


With the popularity of smartphones and mobile phones today, it seems that landline phones may be moving on towards the road to obscurity. With mobile phones becoming handy, why would there be a need for a landline phone? While people can still offer a variety of reasons, it is becoming common for people to prefer getting a mobile phone than having a landline set up at home. But for those who still find them relevant, there are makers like Panasonic that still try to find a way to convince more and more people to still have landlines at home. One way is by introducing this new Panasonic VS-HPS200S Cordless Phone and Tablet.

The Panasonic VS-HPS200S Cordless Phone and Tablet is a unique combination of a cordless phone and a 7-inch Android tablet. Both work together to provide users the best of both worlds. It also helps attain more interest for people to get the cordless phone for their home as well.

But for the most part, the interesting feature here is the 7-inch Android tablet. It comes with an 800MHz Marvell MMP2 or Armada 610 CPU. It also comes with a 4GB internal memory, 512RAM and also comes with WiFi and GPS features. It is designed to be a companion to the Panasonic VS-HPS200S Cordless Phone and can be used as a VoIP phone using Skype or by reading internet fax. The Panasonic VS-HPS200S Cordless Phone and Tablet is set to be available in the Japanese market by the first quarter of 2013. It is expected to cost around 43,000 Japanese Yen or around US$500.

North Koreans Develop First Video Game, Pyongyang Racer


North Korea sure likes to do things their way. They kidnapped a South Korean director and his wife to make a Godzilla rip-off; they had a reality show that exposed citizens whose haircuts do not conform with the “socialist lifestyle”.

Just recently, North Korean programmers working for software firm Nosotek developed the country’s first video game. “Pyongyang Racer” is played in-browser and has since become unavailable as of post time after being crashed by throngs of netizens who visited the website. However, the people at Cracked were able to play the game and made a review about it.

Pyongyang Racer reminds you of racing games in late 1990s, complete with buildings and monuments depicted in polygon. The problem, though, is that you are not necessarily racing against other motorists because other (very few) vehicles are just parked in the middle of the street, which kinda reflects in real life since only the privileged few own cars in North Korea. The main objective of the game, so it seems, is to be able to make several laps while collecting barrels of fuel to replenish your car’s tank before it runs out.
The game restarts if you hit too many unmoving cars and buses, as well as if you drive off the road (but not on the wrong side of the highway).

Koryo Tours, a Beijing-based travel agency, commission Pyongyang Racer. It is unclear what the company hopes to achieve in this game, but they certainly know that the players should have their expectations way, way low to fully appreciate the game.
