Sony PSP Phone and Tablet may Become Reality

by Jay Garrett on March 8, 2010

The mythical PSP Phone as well as an iPad baiting tablet may well slip out from Sony – Well, that’s how the Wall Street Journal sees it.

Sony CEO Howard Stringer is looking towards Apple for inspiration in order to bring success back to Sony’s door.

The Japanese company is already making steps with its Sony Online Service having iTunes firmly in its sights and add that to a bunch of new mobile gadgets to use SOS – it sounds like plots are forming.

The report claims a source says that there will be a PSP-phone and an iPad style tablet that “blurs distinctions among a netbook, an e-reader and a PSP.”

These new devices will join the PSP Go and get access to SOS which will enable them access to games, music, movies and, more-than-likely, e-books.

I’m just hoping that Sony has looked at and taken on-board the feedback received after the lower-than-expected sales that the PSP Go has had thus far ;)

I’m interested to see what Sony come up with and must admit – I’m more than a little excited by the prospect :)

Apple iPad UK Release Date Clarified

by Jay Garrett on March 8, 2010

Apple has almost come up with a definite UK release date for their iPad.

Where stateside gadgety fans will be able to pounce on the new Wi-Fi tablet on April 3rd and the 3G version later the same month we in the UK will get both by the end of April.

US customers can pre-order the Wi-Fi models from 12 March, but not so for us in Blighty – we can’t pre-release purchase at all.

Apple has also said that the iBooks app and iBookstore will be available in the US on 3 April, with “additional countries added later this year”. I’m hoping that the land of the Union Flag will also be getting this, even though there’s indications to the contrary, as surely this is one of the major selling points of the iPad – or am I still confused?

The midboard itself is unremarkable as it doesn’t [...]
