Pioneer’s Cyber Navi units crowdsource traffic photos, watch for crosswalks (video)
Author: JohnnyBells
Pioneer’s nicer Cyber Navi GPS units already revolve heavily around cameras that dish out augmented reality. That clearly wasn’t enough for the company, though, as its new tilt-screen AVIC-VH0009 and fixed-screen AVIC-ZH0009 models wring even more value out of that front sensor. Their new Smart Loop feature automatically snaps photos at traffic hotspots that it shares with fellow drivers, giving them a crowdsourced glimpse of any trouble that lies ahead. Other upgrades don’t depend quite so much on collective wisdom, however. The AR Scouter Mode is now smart enough to spot upcoming crosswalks, and the voice search lets drivers freely speak keywords rather than follow a strict syntax. Pioneer isn’t divulging pricing ahead of the Cyber Navis’ June release, but their Japan-focused location services hint that we won’t see either navigator reach the US anytime soon. We can at least live vicariously through the (very detailed) video after the break.

No Comments »Lenovo ThinkPad Helix starts shipping, Seton Hall University gets early units
Author: Mark Jeffries
Lenovo’s ThinkPad Helix has had one of the rockier roads to the US market, having been promised for February only to be delayed to April. Things are getting smoother, however, as the first units of the are rolling off the production line — and there are already customers waiting at Seton Hall University. Keeping up its recent practice of handing out gadgets to junior students, the school expects to test the dockable Windows 8 tablet within a few weeks, and then deliver about 2,000 units to newcomers starting in June. The turn toward a hybrid lets the university settle on one PC design for the fall rather than divide its attention between tablets and Ultrabooks, Seton Hall’s Drew Holden says. As for the general public? Lenovo hasn’t officially put the Helix on sale through its own store, but a handful of customers say they’ve already received theirs through other channels. In any event, keep a close watch on third-party stores if you’re willing to part with $ 1,499 for a ThinkPad convertible.

Early-backer GameStick consoles delayed to June release, Dev units now shipping
Author: Jamie Colby
Fancied PlayJams’ GameStick Android games console enough to back it on Kickstarter previously this year? The advisable information is that Dev units have actually been shipping to the roughly 600 who signed up, with the staying ones set to going within a week. The bad information? The early-backer versions are now readied to get to doorsteps in late June rather of April since of high-demand, according to PlayJam. As its most current Kickstarter update information, the units will need stronger tooling than the silicon-based molds of the dev units to guarantee that “tens of thousands” of them can be effectively made. Furthermore, this will evidently force the company to deliver these bigger factory yields via sea transport as opposed to air, which also slows things down.
A case of success causing stagnations it appears. Ideally not much longer than these brand-new quotes, too– while this breakout underdog is readied to hit sellers like GameStop, that various other Android-based console, OUYA, is already shipping out to backers– and its retail units are prepared in June. You’ll discover the complete update from PlayJam at the source link.

Some Pebble smartwatches bricking after shutdown, company replacing faulty units
Author: Dave Adams
It appears that Pebble’s smartwatch is officially feeling its largest growing pain since debuting just two months ago. A five-page long (and growing) thread on the company’s forum has some owners describing a bug that’s leaving their Pebbles pebbled bricked after shutdown. Pebble’s Eric Migicovsky let us know that the company is actively replacing affected units, while examining those being sent in to find out the root cause:
We’ve had reports of this issue, and we understand of course that it’s annoying for users. We’re replacing any Pebbles for users who report this issue. We’re reviewing the Pebbles that get returned, working to get to the bottom of the issue. We have our support team ready to follow up to any user that reports this issue.
As it stands, there’s no word on whether firmware update 1.9 has any role in keeping the devices from turning on after being shut down. Owners have further reported that no amount of charging their Pebble will help it to actually come back to life. We’ve reached out to the company for more info on the matter (including nailing down how many units the company has replaced so far), and we’ll be sure to keep you updated. For now, let us know whether your experience with Pebble has been rocky at all so far.
Update: That was fast — apparently Pebble has received about 30 reports of this issue since Friday. Here’s the official word from Migicovsky:
We’re tracking a few reports of this issue. Up to Friday, we’ve had 20-30 reports (out of 30,000+ pebbles in the field). We’ve gotten several back to the office, and we’re getting to the bottom of it.
[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

GameStick shipping dev units this month, marks progress on controller, SDK and UI
Author: jos
Things seem to be rolling along nicely for Kickstarter success story, GameStick. The makers of the compact Android console will be shipping a dev unit later this month, measuring slightly larger than the final version, thanks in part to a Type A USB slot for mousing / keyboarding. The company also used its Kickstarter newsletter to note that the controller is “nearing readiness,” despite almost giving “the lead mechanical engineer a heart attack,” due to its size. GameStick will be releasing an SDK later this week and will be announcing some unnamed partnerships soon (subtly hinting that it will be at ARM’s GDC booth this month). The UI, meanwhile, is pretty much done, and the retail excitement is quite high, according to the company. Hopefully this all means that we’ll be wrapping our hands around the console soon.
