Tech Week: PSP 2 officially unveiled as NGP and iPhone

 

News of the Week
Whilst we all had our ears cocked to the ground in search of the long-awaited PSP Phone Sony has only gone and fooled us by officially unveiling the PSP 2 or the Sony Next Generation Portable (NGP) as it will henceforth be known. Following the unveiling we have been treated to a bevy of PSP 2, sorry NGP, information with the first official pictures emerging ahead of a full control demonstrating video hands-on landed. We have also learnt that not all NGP consoles will support 3G connectivity, we’ve heard theexpert verdicts on the PSP 2 replacement and, although official prices have yet to be released, Sony has declared the device won’t cost $599.

 

Samsung is expected to be one of the big players at next month’s Mobile World Congress attempting to emulate last year’s success of the Android powered Galaxy S handset and Galaxy Tab tablet. Kicking off the week by unveiling four new members of the Galaxy smartphone family and teasing the possible MWC arrival of the Galaxy Tab 2. This was followed later in the week by a leaked conference timetable confirming the Barcelona launch of the Galaxy Tab 2 and Galaxy S 2 as well as official word that the Galaxy S 2 will come equipped with a dual-core processor and Super AMOLED Plus display.

 

With The Daily iPad newspaper this week confirmed to officially launch on February 2nd, Apple has this week mostly made headlines for the upcoming iPhone 5. Whilst three new job vacancies within the Cupertino company hinting towards iPhone 5 NFC technology inclusion, news that Apple intends to ship 10 million of the mooted handsets at launch has stolen the headlines and much of the focus of a possible arrival date.

Reviews of the Week
For anyone that appreciates design in their tech, this is a coupling that makes the pulse race. B&O’s achingly stylish products share an aesthetic with Apple’s own gear, so it’s fitting that they are together at last in this sophisticated-looking sound system. Full review right here for your envious eyed perusal.

 

Sony’s 40-inch KDL-40NX713 is a delicious Freeview HD LED TV that, although not positioned at the top of the brand’s extensive line-up delivers a sumptuous picture performance more than good enough to get a five-star nod of approval from the T3 reviewers.

 

Adding an extra punch to the already weighty reviews offering this week we have been hands-on with the LG Optimus 2X, the world’s first dual-core processor touting mobile handset. Not only have we been hands-on we’ve been video-on too allowing you to see our first opinions of the device in all its HD glory.
