Cincinnati Bengals receiver, Chad Ochocinco, is planning to form his own social news network on Twitter, using his player contacts around the league to develop news about other teams. The idea grew out of his partnership with Motorola, which will provide the technology. He’s dubbed the venture OCNN, for the Ochocinco News Network. He will try to compete with mainstream media to tell fans what’s going on with NFL teams.

He’s even got a slogan.

“If I break it, you might as well believe it,” Ochocinco told The Associated Press in a phone interview. (more…)

I’ve mentioned a couple times how much “soccer related” products we are going to start seeing as the World Cup draws near. The closer it gets, the more we will be seeing. With that in mind, PUMA has entered the wireless game and by entering into a partnership with Sagem Wireless.

PUMA and Sagem Wireless have signed a license agreement to launch a PUMA mobile phone in the second quarter of 2010 prior to the Football World Cup 2010. The license agreement is in line with PUMA’s strategy to move into new categories that complement PUMA’s range of sport and lifestyle footwear, apparel and accessories. In partnership with Sagem Wireless, PUMA’s entry into mobile leverages its innovative brand and design skill to improve mobile user experience and connect its community.

Kind of a risky move if you ask me, but then again, I’m a supporter of folks taking chances. So good luck PUMA.

Nike has just unveiled a new boot and program that is a pretty interesting way to combine a product, a service and a training aid. Sounds kinda crazy right? Check this out…

A unique user-code that comes with every pair of the boots allows access to exclusive training content from some of the biggest names in the game, including Cesc Fabregas of Arsenal and Andrés Iniesta of FC Barcelona.

The integration of technology with a soccer boot is pretty interesting and unique. First was the integration of running sneakers and iPods to help people manage their training, and now comes this.

Courier is a real device, and we’ve heard that it’s in the “late prototype” stage of development. It’s not a tablet, it’s a booklet. The dual 7-inch (or so) screens are multitouch, and designed for writing, flicking and drawing with a stylus, in addition to fingers.
