The kiosk is designed to accept a wide range of devices including Android phones & tabs, iOS products, and a whole lot of other devices. If you're a little squeamish about leaving your device unattended in a 7-11 lock box while it charges, no worries as the ChargeAll kiosk has plenty of security measures to set your mind at ease including password protection and LockSafe integration.

The ChargeAll kiosk will also support Qi wireless charging if you need a quick power up while you're on the go.

Gridiron Thunder Set to Bring Arcade Style Football to the Ouya

Posted: 26 Aug 2013 10:25 AM PDT

gridiron-thunerIf you're a mobile game I'm sure you've noticed the lack of 'quality' football games out there. There are some decent ones, but nobody has managed to give us a true Madden or Tecmo Bowl experience on a mobile. Enter Gridiron Thunder, a Kickstarter project from MogoTXT that looks to bring a solid football experience to the Ouya and other mobile devices.gridiron

Gridiron Thunder is set to be more than your typical football fare. For starters, they have a NFL licensing rights to display scores, stats, and NFL news in real-time. While there's been no mention of using player names in the game, being able to use stats and scores is certainly a step in the right direction. As for the game itself, they are incorporating elements of Fantasy Football into Gridiron Thunder which is a great way to go. Everyone heard the fantasy backlash over Madden last year, so it's pretty safe to say people love their custom rosters and fantasy elements.gridiron.thunder-2

MogoTXT has already surpassed their goal of $75,000 and there are still 13 days to go in their campaign. They are also participating in OUYA's 'Free the Games" campaign which means Ouya will match them dollar for dollar up to 250k as long as Gridiron Thunder stays an Ouya exclusive for 6 months. That means regular Android & iOS users will have to wait a little while, but Ouya gamers will have a NFL Blitz type of football game on their big screens.gridiron.thunder-1

If you're interested in funding Gridiron Thunder there are plenty of backer spots left with some cool swag up for grabs including Gridiron Thunder jerseys, tweets from NFL players, and having an entire team or stadium made to your specifications. Gridiron Thunder is set to be released on the Ouya on September 15th, and the developers have said that weekly updates will follow. You can find out more about Gridiron Thunder on their Kickstarter page or pick it up next month if you own an Ouya.

The Overdog App Lets You Compete Against Your Favorite Athletes in Video Games

Posted: 26 Aug 2013 10:01 AM PDT

overdog_logoHave you ever wanted to go up against your favorite athletes? A lot us have, and the OverDog app aims to let you do just that. While it won't let you go head to head against Jordan on the court, it will let you play against a pro athlete in games like NBA 2k13 and Madden 25.

It's no secret that a lot of athletes are avid games. They play just as much as the average joe if not more as the offseason can give you a lot of down time. OverDog has around 200 athletes ready to give you a challenge and getting your game on is as easy as entering OverDog's lottery setup. Whenever a player is ready for a match they'll issue a challenge which you'll received via push notification, and one lucky player will be picked to play against the athlete.

As cool as it sounds, gamers are a difficult group to please and once could imagine people groaning about not being chosen to play against a pro. OverDog has a solution for that with v2 of their app which is scheduled to launch this week. The second iteration of the OverDog app will open things up for fans that don't win by allowing them to get together and play against each other. In a nutshell, you could have Cowboys fans going up against a group of Redskins fans in Call of Duty so the rivalries can continue online.fan_1_challenge

As mentioned, OverDog already has a slew of athletes on their roster including the likes of Matt Forte, Lange Briggs, David Price, Tally Hall, Mewelde Moore, Randy Moss, Leon Lett, and Calvin Johnson just to name a few. The iOS app has been out for a bit, and v2 is set to launch this week which will bring the OverDog app to Android users. It’s also right in time for Madden 25 and the upcoming NFL season, so you can expect it to be a very popular app. We’ll have more on the Android version of the OverDog app as soon as it hits Google Play.

New Pictures of Sony Xperia Z1 Show Metal Chassis

Posted: 26 Aug 2013 04:17 AM PDT

Xperia Z1 (Honami)

Pictures of the he Sony Xperia Z1 also known as Honami were leaked again over the internet, now we can brag with an official press image so this time there are no doubts about its authenticity. In the leaked image we can see the three versions of the Z1, black, white and purple.Xperia Z1

These are the same colors as in the current flagship, the Xperia Z, so it’s no biggie after all, even the design is almost identical. It seems that the design department at Sony Mobile is not even trying anymore. To be honest,there is one difference between the two, the next high-end droid from Sony will feature a metal frame which runs around the smartphone. For the moment, it’s not very clear what’s the catch, if this is the actual frame of the device or is an antenna, like the one in the iPhone.

Xperia Z1

The Sony Xperia Z1 is set to be the next flagship from the Japanese company and it is one of the most expected smartphones in this autumn. According to previous leaks, the Z1 will run on the Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Platform, featuring a quad core CPU clocked at 2.2 GHz, it will have 2 GB of RAM, a fantastic (from specs) 20 Megapixels camera with a single LED flash and a 5 inches wide 1080p display, also a 3000 mAh battery and almost sure it’s gonna be a water/dust proof device, just like the Xperia Z is.Plus, of course, all the cool features one can expect from a high end Android smartphone.

The official release date wasn’t announced yet but the Z1 is expected to be revealed at IFA in Berlin, on September 4′th.
