One common misconception about Windows Mobile platform is that it lacks gaming abilities. You might want to reconsider this after you watch this video of PlayStation emulator (FPSECE) running some PlayStation titles like Tekken 3 and others on HTC HD2.

Well what do we have here? We've just been handed a picture of what we're told is Sony's EX3 prototype 3D camera, with changeable lenses and a penchant for capturing life in the third dimension. That's unfortunately all we really know at this point, but if this two-eyed beaut does go to market (and we hear that it most certainly will), it looks like Panasonic's 3D camcorder will have some healthy competition. And hey, we're all for having more options. 

Sony Corp.’s sales of PlayStation 3 video game consoles jumped 44 percent in the U.S. in March, helped by the release of the “God of War III” title, according to market researcher NPD Group Inc.

Mitsubishi boasts unparalleled audio quality from its Unisen series of HDTVs, and the LT-46249 certainly lives up to that claim. With its massive speaker bar and wireless subwoofer, this 46-inch LCD TV produces a wall of sound that comes very close to the quality of a dedicated multi-channel speaker system. There's more to this model than just its audio prowess, however—it displays a crisp, detailed high-definition picture with spot-on colors, and it offers integrated Vudu video-streaming capabilities. I was not as impressed with its standard definition performance however, and found the remote and user interface frustrating. Also, its $2,600 price is expensive for a 46-inch non-LED set too.

Your next TV could be a Google TV, made by Sony and powered by Intel chips. The three companies have teamed up to build what will be called the Google TV, essentially a big-screen living-room computer.
The TV project, according to the New York Times, is still under wraps, but that hasn’t stopped the details from leaking. The GTV will be based on the Android OS, and come in the form of both a set-top box and actual TV-sets. There will be regular television, of course, but also Hulu, YouTube and other web-video sources, as well as games and apps for social networking.

Sony has a new message for Nintendo Wii gamers: Come join us.
The Japanese maker of the PlayStation 3 unveiled Thursday its highly anticipated motion controlling system, as it takes aim at Nintendo's dominance in the gaming sector. With the "PlayStation Move," Sony hopes to lure gamers who have outgrown Nintendo, which launched the Wii in 2006 and became the first to introduce motion-detecting controllers.
Peter Dille, senior vice president of marketing for Sony Computer Entertainment, credited Nintendo Co. for "introducing motion gaming to the masses." 

 

 In the ongoing battle for content, Sony said Tuesday that it had locked in the five top studios to supply HD content to the PlayStation Network.
At launch, the content will be available in the U.S. only, with plans to launch soon in the U.K., France, Germany, and Spain, Sony said.
Sony claimed that "all" of the top studios now offer HD content via the PSN. The five studios announced Tuesday are: 20th Century Fox, Walt Disney Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Universal Pictures, and Warner Bros.
