iPod Touch Refresh Makes it iPhone 4 (without the phone bit) – iPod Touch 4

by Jay Garrett on July 11, 2010

Thursday saw me enjoying Christmas in July thanks to the John Lewis show-and-tell (more about that later).

What made me sit up and take note was that there will be an iPod Touch refresh happening in September that will bring it bang up-to-date with the iPhone 4.

The feeling from various rumours and inside info have the iPod Touch 4 featuring the same front-facing camera as the new iPhone as well as the 5mp HD video taking, flash enabled job round back.

Add to the mix Wi-Fi and you have more FaceTime capable hand-sets out there on the streets!

Apple are keen to make the iPod Touch 4 the all round media and gaming machine of choice.

More news about this as I get it :)

Sony PSP2 Already Lurking Around the UK

by Jay Garrett on May 17, 2010

It seems that Sony’s not prepared to take the battle of the handheld gaming rig lying down!

There was a few whispers last week from publishers hinting that there was rumblings of publicity prep happening for a Sony portable.

So – let the leakage commence!!

It seems that specs for the PSP2 have started seeping into the interweblogosphere and there’s even rumours of finished units right here in the UK – let’s see if Sony gets a dose of the iPhone 4‘s ;)

According to VG247, the PSP2 will be sporting two cameras taking care of front and rear duties – which would support the idea that Sony is gunning for the Nintendo 3DS. It’s also claimed to be packing a touchscreen (we’ve heard that before) and physical PlayStation buttons to please the more hardcore gamers.

Like the PSP Go, the PSP2 will ditch physical media by grabbing stuff via Wi-Fi but with the added benefit of possibly bringing in 3G to the equation. Seems that they do have an eye on the iPhone 4 ;)

What’s got me interested is the chat about some serious graphic abilities – apparently Sony are cramming in a four-core Cell CPU. This would give you a handheld PS3 almost as its larger sibling rocks an eight-core version.

I’ve heard that it might get flashed next month at E3 and that it will be out early next year – yeah, rumours are still rumours.

We waiting for a PSP2 last year and we got a Go! To take on the 3DS and the next gen iPhone Sony really have to pull something out of its hat. Hopefully something resembling the picture might work ;)

Have you lost interest or are you hoping that Sony re-ignites the PSP? I for one loved the first version but it has since sat in its gaming case with its UMD’s for almost 18 months…….

At the risk of appearing that I’m all about the retro (be it ladies undergarments or headphones) here’s a return to the halcyon days of gaming. Sega Mega Drive – just the sound of the name transports me back to the days of ‘Road Rash’ and ‘Sonic the Hedgehog’ and now (well, February) comes The [...]
