The Amazon Kindle has certainly been getting a lot of press, and good reason—success or failure, the simple introduction of the device promised to revolutionize the book publishing industry forever. Today I’m offering my own in-depth review of the Kindle, along with my thoughts on whether or not it lives up to the hype. more...

Pump It Up at Play-Asia for Pennies
Have a Sony PSP? Enjoy playing bemani/music games? Then run, don’t walk over to Play-Asia right now.
For one week only, they’re offering Pump It Up EXCEED and Pump It Up Zero for $19.90 for both games, not just one. This is a fantastic value for two excellent games—I’ve spent many hours with each of them, honing my skills and listening to some killer dance music. Don’t let this one pass you by; at this price it would be an excellent introduction to the music genre. Remember, any Sony PSP can play games from any region!

It’s U810 Week at PocketGoddess.com!
Yesterday I posted my review of the Fujitsu U810, the mini-laptop that fits the full Windows Vista or XP experience into a package half the size of a traditional laptop. You can read it here.
The rest of the week will be devoted to reviews of two carrying options for the U810, the R.A.P.S Advanced System Protection Wrap from Skooba Design and the Travel Case from Waterfield Designs.

Spring Cleaning Redux
I’m a firm believer in Spring cleaning, whether we’re talking about your closet, your windows, or your electronic devices. I’ve published articles about the topic in the past, and recently one of my Mobius friends posted one on his site. Click here to check out his tips. They go beyond handhelds to discuss how to clean out your laptop and even your email inbox, so they’re definitely worth a read.

Friday Gaming Update
Lots of exiting releases the last couple of weeks, especially if you’re a handheld gamer.
Patapon: If you haven’t already picked up this game and you have a PSP, go out and get it RIGHT NOW. It’s hard to explain in a short blurb, but this strategy/rhythm/action game is amazingly addictive and deeply satisfying. I can’t seem to put it down, and I’m guessing you might end up feeling the same way. If I haven’t convinced you, there’s a free demo available at the Playstation Network store, so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
God of War: Chains of Olympus: The reviews are in, and they’re overwhelmingly positive. If you’re a fan of the console action series, you can now continue the adventure on your PSP.If you don’t have a PSP yet, there’s also a special Godof War bundle that includes a red PSP and a copy of the game.
Space Invaders Extreme: The game isn’t due until mid-June, but I’m already very excited about this title, thanks to the demo available now at PSP Fanboy.The music is awesome, and the gameplay is modern and cool while staying true to the original . Expect to face new challenges (including boss fights!), plus integration of cool gameplay elements from other arcade classics like Galaga and Breakout.
Flow: PS3 owners have been playing Flow for quite a while, but it was just released on the Playstation Network store yesterday for PSP owners. The concept is cool, and good for those mellow times that you’d like some entertainment but don’t really want to work yourself up to play a “real” game. I haven’t spent too much time with it yet, but it has a nicely calm and ethereal atmosphere.
Disney Friends: I spent some time with this Nintendo DS demo at my local game store and like the exploration aspects and the gameply variety. This title should be fun for the younger set; think of a cross between Animal Crossing and Nintendogs, but with a Disney state of mind.
