John Carmack says PS4, Xbox 720 nothing to be excited about
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesSonyMicrosoftPlayStation 4XBOX One
Game development expert John Carmack believes that the next generation of video game consoles won’t be anything to write home about. Carmack said in a recent interview that he was admittedly optimistic about the increased rendering power of an Xbox 720 or PS4, but beyond that he has no grand vision of what to expect. We may be hitting the point of diminishing returns.
“Any creative vision that a designer could come up with, we can do a pretty good job representing on current generation and certainly on PC. In many ways I am not all that excited about the next generation. It will let us do everything we want to do now, with the knobs turned up,” Carmack said.
He continued, “If you take a curr...

Sony gathers all of its recently announced handsets for a media preview at CommunicAsia 2012
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSony
We were waiting for an announcement from Sony today, and here it is, straight from a side event the company is holding at CommunicAsia 2012 - the expo where it usually unveils new stuff.
It's just that this year there is nothing new, since the company announced a barrage of new handsets already in the last month or so, and has gathered all six of them for the world to see for the first time.
These include the global edition of Sony Xperia ion, the rugged Xperia go, the Xperia acro S, the recently announced Xperia miro and tipo, and the Xperia neo L. They will be soon on sale (Sony promises Q3), but what we are really waiting for is the global version of the Xperia GX, or that elusive Mint I ...

Sony Xperia Ion hits AT&T June 24th for $99 on contract
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSonyAT&TXperia ion
In the tech industry, time (and the fleeting interests of geekdom) waits for no one product. So, it's understandable if you've already forgotten about Sony Mobile's US flagship: a sleekly designed, mid-range contender known as the Xperia Ion. It's been nearly six months since the electronics giant officially unveiled the device at CES and, for brand loyalists still clinging to the edge of their seats, the wait's nearly over. Starting June 24th, AT&T will be offering the LTE handset -- a first for the newly unified wireless outfit stateside -- for $99 with a new two-year agreement (insert applause for Nokia and its precedent setting Lumia 900 here).
So, what do you get for that compelling pri...

Sony outs Xperia Ion HSPA for poor 4G-lacking citizens
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSonyXperia ion
Sony Mobile casually dropped onto its website that in addition to the expected Xperia Ion flagship, it's also releasing an Xperia Ion HSPA. The handset's only readily apparent feature is its reduced modem, and in every other way looks to match its 4G-enabled brother, with a 1.5GHz dual-core CPU, 12-megapixel camera and Gingerbread. Whilst its designed to consume the same AT&T friendly frequencies, this one's destined for a rest-of-the-world arrival to sate the lust of global Sony fans in countries where they do everything a little slower.

Sony Xperia tipo, Xperia tipo dual are announced with entry-level written all over
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSonyXperia tipoXperia tipo dual
The Sony Xperia tipo, which was previously known by its Tapioca codename, is now finally official. What we have on our hands is a low-end Android smartphone suitable for first-time smartphone owners. It comes in a single- or dual-SIM flavor, with the latter called the Sony Xperia tipo dual.
Interested in specs? Well, here they are: the Sony Xperia tipo and its dual-SIM brother have a 3.2-inch HVGA (320x480) display made out of scratch-resistant mineral glass. Inside it runs an 800MHz single-core Qualcomm processor, and on the back we have a 3.2-megapixel camera. Nothing earth-shattering, we know, yet on the bright side, the smartphone would likely be quite competitively priced. What is reall...

Sony Xperia Play 2 rumors squashed, launch looks unlikely
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSony
The Sony Xperia Play is one of those handsets we'd label as different – it was the first and still is the only phone with a slide-out dedicated gamepad, which is great for gamers. Recently, we've heard rumors about the phone getting a successor, an Xperia Play 2, but the latest information straight from Sony rebuffs those rumors.

Sony Playstation 4: includes optical drive, not download-only
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesSonyPlayStation 4
Sony considered removing the optical drive from its next-generation Playstation gaming console, The Wall Street Journal reported. The Japanese electronics maker decided against a download-only model, however, because “Internet connectivity is too inconsistent around the world.” Removing the optical drive would have also hurt the adoption of Blu-ray, which Sony heavily pushed with its Playstation 3. The next-generation PlayStation, codename Orbis, is rumored to launch during the holiday season of 2013. It has been reported that the system will feature an AMD x64 CPU and AMD Southern Islands GPU capable of running games at a resolution of 4,096 x 2,160 pixels.

Is This Finally a Toughphone Worth Buying?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSonyXperia advance
Sony has just announced that it's launching a new toughphone, called the Xperia Advance. Unlike previous examples of hardy handsets, though, this one actually looks normal—and its specs aren't too shabby either.
Most phones designed to take knocks look like something you'd give a child to play with. But the Xperia Advance actually looks... kinda OK. OK enough that you wouldn't cringe every time you took it out of your pocket, at least. And while it's hardly the most advanced smartphone on the market, it's specs aren't disgraceful.

Sony to reveal PS3, Vita ebook platform
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesSonyPlayStation 3PSVITA
If you like the idea of ebooks, but hate the fact that you can’t read them from 10 feet away on the living room sofa, Sony might have the solution to your problems. Okay, we’re exaggerating a bit. There’s a rumor that Sony is working on a digital books section to the PlayStation Store, but it is hardly going to try to be a competitor to the Kindle, iBooks, or Nook.
