AMD details next generation of E-series chips for sub-$600 laptops

We've already covered AMD's premium Trinity processors, but today the company got specific about what we can expect from its more price-conscious E-Series chips. These are the 1.4GHz E1-1200 and the 1.7GHz E2-1800 - both dual-core Bobcat APUs that bring a range of improvements over last year's E-series, and which are intended for sub-$600 laptops plus perhaps the odd nettop.

HTC One X launches June 10 at AT&T after customs delay

Yes, the U.S. customs delay kept America from getting their hands on the HTC One X by its original launch date, but now that the mess has been cleaned up we have good news. AT&T has set a new release date of June 10th for the phone that has slowly slipped from our minds thanks to the aforementioned delay and the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S III. But that shouldn't stop you from considering the One X as your next device. Check out our full review as a refresher. The One X earned the highest of praise from us.

Nyko launches wireless gaming controller for Android devices

Nyko have announced a new line of controllers for Android devices. the Playpad series was designed with input from NVIDIA and has been optimized for Tegra games which support controller input. There's the Playpad, a mini controller that has dual analog sliders, and comes with a tablet stand and case, and the full-zied Playpad Pro, which is bigger and features a traditional console layout. Unfortunately the device only works with Android 3.0 and higher. The upside is that Nyko will release a compatibility app that will allow users to map controls for legacy games which support physical input. It's due for a Fall 2012 launch.

Onlive shows in-browser gaming and social-gaming at E3

[E3 2012] OnLive is demonstrating its updated in-browser gaming and OnLive MultiView features. Onlive has made it easier for partners and third parties to integrate its technology to their websites to allow gamers to play a game from the browser. This makes it easier for users to test a game demo, without having to download and install any software, not even OnLive's client. You can imagine many ways to operate something like this: for example, game companies can build a demo platform and be assured that regardless of the hardware running OnLive, the experience will be good. This is not limited to demos.

Nintendo's black Wii U, first eyes-on

Here's a little treat while we wait for the Nintendo Keynote to kick in: the gaming giant carted out the black version of its upcoming console, placing it on a column at the front of the stage for all to see as we file in for the event. The black Wii U console made an extremely quick cameo on Sunday night's pre-pre-E3 press conference, and we expect to see a good deal more of it in the days to come. In the meantime, however, you can enjoy it in the gallery below.
