The Android-powered Motorola Devour, packing the MOTOBLUR UI, made its TV debut during the Super Bowl XLIV. It was promoted by no other than Megan Fox, who seems to enjoy sharing bath tub pics over Facebook. Erhh, no, we’re just kidding. But what if she did?

Nokia N900 is slowly progressing from a portable gaming device to a portable console. The recipe is simple – a Nokia N900, a SIXAXIS controller from a PlayStation 3, a TV, TV-out cable and a bit of software magic.
One of the best quest/adventures ever made – the first Broken Sword – made its way to the iPhone. It even has some additional content giving you 20% more gameplay time.
Did you see Avatar yet? Then you probably remember the grass that glowed when you touch it. Sully, the main character surely had a lot of fun with it. Someone, obviously unsatisfied with being unable to ride a six-legged horse, decided to go the DIY way and make his own glow-when-touched grass.
