iLuv is getting promiscuous with their affections this morning with an iLuv Stereo alarm dock for Samsung
Yepp audio devices -- one of, if not
the first third-party accessory for Yepps with more on the way according to iLuv's CEO. The
Yepp T9B (pictured) is Sammy's
FCC approved Bluetooth MP3 player; a good choice for display since the iLuv iss277 also features a "Bluepin" Bluetooth dongle to stream audio from the T9 and presumably any Bluetooth enabled device. Otherwise, we're looking at what appears to be pretty much the same "made for iPod" i177 which already played music from any DAP through a line-in jack. However, by connecting through the dock, the Yepp can be charged and integrated into the sleep and wake functions of the alarm clock and controlled via the remote. While it's a bit early to call it a trend, any move towards a universal device dock like that
announced by Altec Lansing is certainly a refreshing change. However, here's a hint for iLuv and others: make the DAP icon (pictured after the break) a bit less iPod'ish next time if you want to keep the peace with your partners. Available in February for 189,000 Korean Won or about $204 when these arrive closer to home.

According to a recent report by In-Stat, over 15% of people carry two wireless phones. Other findings include:
80% camera phone users say they regularly carry their digital camera
75% of SmartPhone users say they also carry a PDA
>50% of users of multimedia phones also carry their MP3 player.
Just 43% of the respondents thought a smart phone could offer higher productivity.
Why are people afraid of carrying just one portable device? In the case of cameras...and maybe even media players, the answer is obviously the questionable quality. But why not combine a phone and PDA? And why do people carry two phones? For chatting in stereo? These questions aren't rhetorical. I want answers, readers!

Some "applications" are misnomers of a sort. "Oddly enough, I'm not sure that true cloud innovation is happening quite yet at the application level," said Charles King, principal with Pund-IT. Still, there are Web 2.0-style online communities and collaboration tools that are supporting some intriguing means for users to seamlessly access and share information.

November marks the one-year anniversary of the release of both Nintendo's Wii and Sony's PlayStation 3 as well as the second anniversary of the debut of Microsoft's Xbox 360. It has been a long year for the three console makers, one in which the former leaders, Microsoft and Sony, were blindsided by the phenomenal success of the Wii and nonplussed by the lackluster performance of the PS3.

The Angry Pixel writes: "Jade Raymond, producer of Assassin?s Creed, is one sad panda these days. And if Jade ain?t happy, UbiSoft is mad. After all, she and her team delivered one spectacular baby in the form of Assassin?s Creed. And if UbiHulk goes all green, it?s very bad news for Something Awful, which found itself staring down the barrel of a lawsuit after someone posted a particularly tasteless comic of Jade trying to convince nerdy gamers to buy Assassin?s Creed by giving them really messy head. While I love SA.com?s reply to the lawsuit and think that?s what you deserve for being a lawyer, I am aghast at some of the comments made by gamers worldwide in response to this."
"Suddenly, people are calling Jade 'a touchy bitch' and talk about how she was using her sex appeal to sell the game , to how UbiSoft was pimping her to sexually frustrated gamers to get them to buy the game."

Sony Marketing and Public Relations Manager Mark Levitan has commented at length on the PlayStation 3's struggle for exclusives.
Levitan said that the breadth of PS3's software library was integral to its appeal, citing Guitar Hero: World Tour, Grand Theft Auto IV, Singstar, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Buzz! as key titles. "It's important to have a balance and we've always done that very effectively."
He admitted, however, that the manufacturer could no longer rely on third party publishers to make its console offering stand out. "As we've seen in the last couple of years, you can't really depend on third party for exclusives anymore. Fallout 3 is an awesome game and it's going to be awesome on the PS3 but I know it's on the Xbox 360 as well. So is Call of Duty: World at War and other titles."

Gamasutra reports on the unveiling of the 'GameTap Originals' publishing label, a brand led by the anticipated episodic revival of Sam and Max. The game is now available both via the GameTap service, and at the TellTale site. From the article: "Sam & Max: Episode 1, which launches today exclusively on GameTap, as well as the upcoming Myst Online: Uru Live, are two examples of franchises that GameTap has co-published and helped bring back to life. While nothing specific was announced regarding upcoming franchises set to debut as part of the new GameTap Original label, representatives did note that it will be used to identify soon to be announced episodic games based on renowned TV and film franchises. Finally, supporting its new GameTap Original label, GameTap will be the premiere sponsor of the 9th Annual Independent Games Festival, held in conjunction with the 2007 Game Developers Conference to celebrate the innovation and creativity of independent game developers." Chris Kohler, over at Game|Life, has a short review of the first three hours of content.
