Rumor: Sony to acquire a cloud gaming company
Like UnlikeFiled in: Sony
Rumors have been doing the rounds the past few days claiming Sony might be making a move into the cloud gaming space. Speculation first started when VG247 posted an article saying that there would be a partnership deal announced at E3 between PlayStation and a leading cloud gaming service. There aren’t exactly a lot of players to pick from so this was inferred to mean either Gaikai or OnLive.

Sony PlayStation 4 tipped for 2013
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesSonyPlayStation 4
With games such as Doom 3: BFG Edition still making waves in the industry of what some would call a fading wave for console gaming, Sony’s PlayStation 4′s release in 2013 is sure to be a hit. That’s what “sources close to the matter” speaking with the Wall Street Jounral are saying in hopes that the news this week that an ultra-slick disk-less cloud-based PlayStation was being released was bashed by early critics. This situation reflects essentially what happened when the PSP Go was released, failure that it was with downloadable content only, ditching physical game units altogether.

Sony announces Xperia Go and Xperia acro S: waterproof and dual-core (video)
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSony
If you were underwhelmed by the middling specs of Sony's past toughphones, you might want to take a look at the latest pair to join the 2012 Xperia family. First up, the Xperia go houses a 3.5-inch 480 x 320 display with a dual-core 1GHz processor, powering the (unfortunately still) Gingerbread interface. Sony has reiterated that Android 4.0 will find its way to both new devices. The Xperia go also throws in a 5-megapixel camera and the same wet finger tracking seen on the Xperia Active, which will mean the phone can be steered during underwater adventures. You be able to pick from white, black and yellow color options when the phone arrives in Q3 this year.

Sony Xperia Ion hits FCC with AT&T LTE intact
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSonyAT&TXperia ion
The wait for the Sony Xperia Ion in the US has been a long one, but that summer release feels considerably closer now that the Android flagship has swung by the FCC. As we'd hope, the Ion is passing through in full AT&T regalia, carrying the 700MHz and 1,700MHz 4G LTE bands it needs to run on Big Blue -- albeit with a legacy Sony Ericsson label. Along with the expected 850MHz and 1,900MHz HSPA 3G frequencies, we're also seeing an odd instance of 1,700MHz 3G that would normally be reserved for T-Mobile. Given that there isn't matching 2,100MHz support, we're more inclined to see the 1,700MHz block as related to AT&T spectrum refarming or other, more practical purposes than as a ghost of attem...

Sony and Sharp officially terminate LCD partnership
Like UnlikeFiled in: SonySHARP
Sony and Sharp have announced the end of their LCD joint venture, a partnership that was originally formed in 2009. Back then, Sony chipped in 10 billion yen ($126 million) towards Sharp Display Products Corporation and gained a seven percent stake in the company. The investment hasn't fared well in an increasingly tumultuous TV market, and the writing on the wall came in March when Sony abandoned any further financing towards the collaboration. That followed news that Foxconn would be entering the mix to the tune of ¥67 billion ($809.1 million), earning it a 50-percent stake in SDP. Sony will be selling its shares back to the company and will be granted a full refund of its original investm...

Sony NEX-F5 to feature inbuilt WiFi?
Like UnlikeFiled in: CamerasSony
It's barely been a week (in fact's it's been 8 days) since Sony announced its latest compact system camera, but already the rumours about its next release are hotting up.
Several reports suggest that the NEX-F5 will be unveiled soon, with rumours hinting that it may be the first interchangeable lens camera from Sony to include integrated WiFi.
Samsung was the first manufacturer to produce an interchangeable lens camera with this function, with its recent upgrades to its NX range (NX20, NX210 and NX1000) announced just last month.

Sony PS4 to have game-freezing adverts? Welcome to gaming hell
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesSonyPlayStation 4
Sony’s got a track record for doing adverts rather well. Its Bravia ads in particular are pretty awe-inspiring. You know the ones with the bouncing balls and the exploding paint? Yeah. That. Thing is, that doesn’t mean that the company gets it right all the time. In fact, we’d say the power’s gone to Sony’s head, as it’s just filed a patent application to bring game-freezing adverts to its consoles. And maybe the Sony PS4…

Sony ST26i benchmarks reveal Android 4.0, 4-inch FWVGA display and lackluster performance
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSonyXperia J
Rumors of the Sony ST26i smartphone have been swirling for a while now, but up until recently, we've had nothing to sink our teeth into. Thankfully, we've now come across an OpenGL benchmark test and system profile for the yet-to-be-announced handset, and while this one seems destined for emerging markets and budget-minded consumers, the ST26i will come with just enough niceties to hold its head high. First and foremost, the system profile reveals Ice Cream Sandwich on the handset, and even better, it'll include a 4-inch, 854 x 480 display -- none of that HVGA crap here. To keep costs low, sacrifices had to be made: the phone will include a Qualcomm MSM7627A SoC, which includes a pedestrian ...

Could Sony be planning a major partnership with a cloud service provider, and it’s likely to make that partnership public at next month’s E3 trade show, according to media reports. While the name of the cloud company in question hasn’t been revealed, it could be a significant part of Sony’s strategy to keep the PS3 relevant at least through to next year’s E3.

Sony PlayStation Network to undergo maintenance tomorrow
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesSony
If you have a hankering to download a new game or movie from the PlayStation Store during the day tomorrow, you might be out of luck. However, if you have logged into the PlayStation Network within the last four days, you will still be able to play online games as well as access online video streaming apps including Netflix and Amazon Instant Video. It’s a consolation from Sony so that gamers can still access some PSN services.
