PlayStation Classic console is $39.99 at Walmart


Sony’s PlayStation Classic mini console is $39.99 at Walmart for a limited time. This is $60 off the price at which it debuted in November, though you can usually find the console for a little over $50. Similar in approach to Nintendo’s popular NES Classic and SNES Classic, the PlayStation Classic includes a single wired controller and comes with 20 preinstalled games from the PS1 era, including Metal Gear Solid, Tekken 3, Twisted Metal, and Final Fantasy VII.
There are a handful of reasons why it’s gotten so cheap in so little time. Due to a rather weak game selection (where are UmJammer Lammy, Resident Evil 2, or Legend of Dragoon?) and questionable emulation choices (pushing 50Hz PAL format for some games), it hasn’t been as well-received, so it isn’t as high in demand as Nintendo’s retro consoles. But if you’re a PlayStation fan, there’s certainly fun to be had. If you’re after a second controller, this $20 8BitDo Bluetooth adapter can let you sync your DualShock 4 to play on the PlayStation Classic.

Linktree’s free workaround lets you add multiple links to your Instagram bio

Image
Instagram only gives you one opportunity to link to outside resources inside its photo sharing platform.

How it works is fairly straightforward. After connecting Linktree to your Instagram profile, you’ll receive a single link to place in your Instagram bio.

Palm Phone review: A tiny tragedy

Image
Unlike most phones we review, the Palm Phone does not claim to be the equal of another device. It doesn't even necessarily claim to be  good . The Verizon-exclusive Palm Phone is billed as a companion to the phone you actually like using. A phone that's minimalist and limited by design can't be "good" in the traditional sense, but can it be bad in a way that you still might want one? Sadly, no. The TCL-made Palm Phone is fascinating because of how odd it is. So many phones these days are predictable and boring, but this one is at least  interesting . It's not interesting enough to buy at $350, though, and certainly not when you can only get it as a secondary device on your already spendy Verizon line.

Our favorite iOS apps for the iPhone and iPad in 2018

Image
As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market. Unlike typical image editors that allow you to remove red eye or apply a filter, Pixaloop allows you to create stunning photo animations with a few c...
