Rapper 50 Cent will be the main character in an upcoming video game set to be released later on this year. Fiddy will be playing himself in 50 Cent: Bulletproof.
50 Cent: Bulletproof will star hip-hop artist 50 Cent, including his likeness and voice. The game will have a plot that focuses on New York’s drug underworld, putting players to the task of uncovering an international conspiracy.
Okay so maybe we don’t have many details on the game to make it sound better than it looks – however, the game’s visuals look great. GameGossip has more screenshots for your viewing pleasure.

Come on now, Samsung. Why do you taunt us so? Obviously this 82” TFT-LCD high definition television isn’t even on the market yet (you can expect to see it in a couple of years), but once it does hit retail, who is going to be able to afford one? Oh well, it sure is a nice way to hit CeBIT with style.

If you have ever wanted to create your own South Park character - or create yourself as a South Park character - now is your chance. The South Park Studio over at Planearium allows you to put together bits and pieces, Potato Head style, to create your own South Park characters. I must say, they did a good job with this one. It is definitely fun messing around with all the different pieces they have to offer. Feel free to link to some of your creations.

My geek meter went right past the 11 mark when I saw the Pilot Watch, which has a built in slide rule. If you didn’t know, a slide rule is a device made obsolete by the invention of the electronic calculator. For those of us who want to get nostalgic or flaunt their supergenius, the slider helps you solve time, distance and speed equations, provide currency conversions, multiply, divide, and perform any conversion of a linear nature such as ounces to grams, kilograms to pounds, miles to kilometers, etc. Impress your date and calculate tips at the same time! It retails for $250.

It’s amazing how quickly others can copy a product. Still, I guess competition is a good thing. Behold the Imp-2003, an iPod shuffle-like device from I-Money Tech of China. It’s screenless and random, as you’d expect. But what makes it even better is the built in SD slot for additional MP3 goodness, and a plastic loop built into its chassis so that you can swing it on your neck - or other body part of your choice.

We’re all for getting tech-heads together to share ideas and have an all around good time. Meetup.com is a free online service that helps you set up meetings in your area. It includes member profiles, links to maps, event planners, picture galleries, and even a built-in message board. We’ve even planned a series of get-togethers ourselves in New York for fans of the upcoming PSP handheld. Private messaging requires a fee on the service, but hey, that’s why there’s email and IM.

PodGear iPod ShuffleStation
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Portable Audio / Video,
The PodGear ShuffleStation reminds me of the Altec Lansing inMotion iPod speakers. Basically, you sit the iPod shuffle on the based provided on the ShuffleStation, and the two stereo speakers play the music from the shuffle. Very simple. If plugged in, the ShuffleStation will also charge the iPod shuffle while it is docked. The unit also works with 4 AAA batteries, but will not charge the iPod when using this method.

Motorola ROKR iTunes Phone To Be Unveiled Thursday
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Smartphones, Portable Audio / Video,
According to MSNBC, Motorola is supposed to take the wraps of the much anticipated ROKR iTunes phone this Thursday, March 10. The device has been shrouded in mystery, as many have been waiting to see what Motorola and Apple had come up with ever since the initial announcement was made months ago. Motorola has had great success recently with the RAZR V3 line, which catapulted the phone manufacturer to the number 2 spot - right behind Nokia. With more RAZR versions on the way, as well as the PEBL and ROKR lines, Nokia better take heed, quickly.

In an effort to reduce the amount of emails I receive per day asking for a Gmail invitation from about 300 to 295, I urge anyone that doesn’t seem to have a friend on the Internet (since it seems that everyone I know uses Gmail) that can simply send them an invitation to check out the iSnoop Gmail Spooler. Just head on over there and put in your email address. You can expect a nice, fresh Gmail invitation arrive in your Inbox shortly. If it doesn’t come, try it again. Just don’t email me asking why.
(Thanks, illwon!)
