What, say that again Sony, a PS3 slim? Didn’t you just talk about the PSP Go? Yes that is right, Sony has just unveiled the PS3 slim at the GamesCom Press Conference in Cologne, Germany. It was also leaked like the PSP Go. Sony really needs to keep some secrets! It is now available for pre-order through Kmart and Sears and will be available everywhere the first week of September. The price of this Console is actually less then its family member, the PS3, at $300. Thats €299, $299 US, and ¥29,980. It sounds a little pricy, but thats before you hear the Specs! It has a Blu-ray player, a 120GB hard disk, DualShock3 controller, and HDMI output with 1080p support, and is consumes 34% less power, and will be 32% smaller! The 5 words I am going to leave you with is “I’m getting one, are you”?

There has been word on RIM planning to integrate full Flash and Microsoft Silverlight support into the their BlackBerry web browser over the last couple months, and now it is pretty much confirmed. Wait, say that again, full Flash, not Flash light! Yeah thats right, the BlackBerry will have full Flash, which is not supported on any mobile device! Don’t get to excited yet, because it will be next Summer before RIM ships phones powerful enough to handle it, and even after that, things might be delayed since they need HSPA or LTE data speed to pull it off. Maybe in the meantime all of those engineers could fix all the flaws and bugs in the Operating system? Until that day we will all have to live with apps!
