Iconic gaming franchise Prince of Persia will return to our consoles in 2010, just in time for its arrival on the big screen next May.

Spotify denies Xbox 360 and Sony PS3 streaming reports

November 30, 2009 Uncategorized No Comments

Music streaming service Spotify has denied rumours that it will be broadening its ever-growing reach to games consoles like the Xbox 360 and Sony Playstation 3.

 

Last week the revolutionary portal became available to download as an app for Symbian mobile phones, joining its Android and iPhone counterparts, and it seems the gossipmongers put two and two together to reach five.

Although the next logical step would seem to be the big three games consoles, a Spotify representative today quashed all speculation, dismissing the talk as mere ‘anonymous rumours’.

  

The spokesman said: “We’ve always said that we want to be on as many devices as possible so that we can bring music to wherever are users are, but there’s no truth to these anonymous rumours about Spotify coming to game consoles any time soon.”

 

Notice that they haven’t ruled it out though…Hmmm.

Sony PSP Go down to £149 at HMV for limited time

November 30, 2009 Uncategorized No Comments

The Sony PSP Go has undergone a staggering £100 price cut at HMV in the first real offensive of the Christmas shopping season.

 

The recession-busting, cut-price PlayStation Portable rings up at just £148.99 for a limited time only, as the retailer looks to kick-start what is expected to be another modest year of festive sales.

HMV announced the bold move on its Twitter feed today, claiming that the offer would not be around too long, so we’d advise anyone looking at adding this to their shopping list to do so pronto. The white incarnation of the console is a penny shy of £200.

 

The PSP Go was launched at the E3 games expo earlier in this year and is the first of the Sony handheld devices to dispense with the controversial UMD format in favour of downloadable games.

 

If this deal is anything to go by, we could be in for a bumper season of gadget bargains.

BBC hints at iPlayer app for iPhone and iPod touch

November 30, 2009 Uncategorized No Comments

The BBC looks like it’s preparing a dedicated iPlayer app for the iPhone and iPod touch.

In a monthly report created by the BBC detailing the iPlayer’s performance in the last month, there were two images displaying what looked like a new iPlayer app for the iPhone.

By the looks of it, the new app allows for standard streaming of BBC shows via the iPlayer as well an interactive functionality which allows users to send messages about shows. For example, one image shows a Chris Moyles show with an added button to “Send Chris a message”.

In the images the iPhone is connected via wireless so it’s not year clear whether the app will function over 3G.

Dell preps Google Chrome for Mini 10v netbooks

November 30, 2009 Uncategorized No Comments

A keen set of researchers over at Dell have released an unofficial version of the new Google Chrome OS running on its Mini 10v netbook.
 

Just a week after the Chromium OS was released to the open source community for testing, Doug Anson, a Dell technology strategist, has finally reported success. It’s still very unstable, comes with no support and Doug warns "it’s definitely not perfect (read: highly experimental, untested, unstable, yada yada…) but it does appear to function."

 

It wasn’t a simple process with Doug noting that it’ll take between five and ten minutes for the network connection manager to allow you to connect. He’s also keen to point out that downloading it is at your own risk and it comes totally unsupported and is tested very minimally.

For the rest of us, we’ll have to wait another year before seeing the OS and there’s still no word on any official Google Chrome OS netbooks, but in the meantime if you fancy your chances on a Dell Mini 10v or any Linux device you can download the code here.
