I’m pleased to welcome Rob Clymo here to write his first in a series of guest articles, on behalf of Broadband Genie, the price comparison site for broadband deals and Tablet PCs. There’s no doubt that when it comes to hot new electronic products then the smartphones and tablets that are set to appear this year are among [...]
Sony has announced that it will be launching a 3D monitor specifically designed for the PS3 this Autumn, with a 240Hz panel. The “quad speed” panel design allows two players to view separate 3D content simultaneously - which in gaming, means split screen multiplayer without the cheating. It could, potentially, also be used for four player 2D [...]
Sony has now officially unveiled the Next Generation Portable (NGP), and announced its consumer-facing name, PlayStation Vita. The upgrade to the ageing PSP will feature a 5″ OLED screen, with a resolution slightly over qHD at 960 x 544 as well as a quad core Cortex A9 CPU from ARM, and an SGX543MP4+ GPU. [...]
If you’ve been a victim of the disaster with Sony’s server hacks it’s unlikely that you’ve felt much joy thus far. However, things are on the up, and Sony has now launched the ‘Welcome Back’ pack; you should also have received an email by now if you’re a PSN user. If you are such a [...]

The hackers have posted a portion of the file online for verification – and sure [...]
As long ago as the end of March, it seems, the BBC started broadcasting 1080p content on the HD channel – making use of the ability to switch dynamically for shows that were shot in 1080p. However, it seems to have been causing some trouble with Sony TVs in particular, whereby the audio is dropping [...]
Sony have announced that to tide over their loyal gamers in the time between now and the launch of its new portable games system, NGP, it will be remastering select PSP games so that they can be enjoyed in HD (and even 3D) on players’ PS3s. Furthermore, you’ll be able to sync the save game [...]
A report from The Boston Globe suggests that several theatres are saving time by leaving the 3D lens module attached to their 4K 3D Sony projectors – as an over-complicated design means that it is a time-consuming process to remove, and re-attach. Their source is unnamed employees from the theatres themselves – so there’s no [...]
