Do you get it yet? All issues affecting the “fat” PlayStation 3 models are gone, including the clock one, and you can game to your heart’s content once again. It’s unknown if Sony actually did something to the PlayStation Network or if PS3s themselves just went past a certain time for them to work again correctly. Either way, a quickie Q/A is at JoyStiq, and you’ll also get some info on how to recover lost trophy data (in theory).

Hey Plus people! Over here! According to a last-minute tweet by Palm, webOS 1.4 is ready to go on your “plus” webOS handsets. That means video recording and editing, Flash 10.1, speed fixes,battery, improved call log — you get the picture. Download the mere 43 megabytes, and don’t say we didn’t suggest it!

Apparently Professor Mullen of Physics at the University of Oklahoma isn’t a fan of gadgets, nor is he of computers. And yet computers help in the discovery of many things in physics, as well as vice versa. Moving on, our dear professor took a bricked laptop, gave it a bath in liquid nitrogen, and then smashed it against the floor. Yet somehow a student near the front row was allowed to have a camera to tape the comedy. But my reasons for posting this is not because I wanted to show you a lunatic professor. No. My question here is this: Should computers be allowed in the classroom as long as the students actually using them to be productive? Oh, and of course the video that might make your day is after the break. Literally.

More Samsung news for you. You like it right? If you’re asking “where’s the Android phones?”, then here’s your treat, courtsey of a leak buried in the MWC 2010 press kit from Sammy. Tomorrow the I8520 ‘Halo’ will debut with a 3.7-inch Super AMOLED screen, 720p video, 8 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, DivX/Xvid playback, Bluetooth 2.1, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, GPS, and 16GB storage with a microSD card slot for adding more space.
It will ship Q3 to Europe and Asia with a possible US release. And from the looks of it, the Halo uses the TouchWiz 3.0 UI debuted on the Wave earlier. But with no word on an official US release, the most exciting Samsung phone of the day in fact could end up a little shady. More on this tomorrow!
Another smartphone. And Samsung’s Bada OS debut. The Samsung Wave is the first entry into the Bada OS spectrum, where Samsung plans for the Wave to be open to everyone and anyone. And of course what is a smartphone without killer specs? Sammy made sure that the Wave comes in as a tsunami, and that’s where the 1GHz CPU comes in, then a 3.3-inch “Super AMOLED” touchscreen that allows you to actually use it in sunlight, but contains no multitouch; TouchWIZ UI 3.0 is in the new and fresh Bada OS, which allows up to 10 homescreens, and SocialHub for managing all of your email and social media accounts in one window. Other specs include, a 5 megapixel camera, aGPS, accelerometer, 802.11n Wi-Fi, 2GB or 8GB of storage space, microSD expansion slot, multi-codec support for DivX, XviD, MP3 and WMV, and support for virtual 5.1 surround sound and 720p recording / decoding. Samsung Apps will be your main app store if you’re wondering, and full Flash support is also present, which will be available in over 50 countries. So far the Wave isn’t really a tsunami, but it does pack in some great features to consider. Case in point: we’re skeptical. PR after the jump. Oh, and look for it sometime in April.
Huzzah! While the iPhone got its new OS today, Google’s Android team wasn’t going to sit around and watch Apple take the show would they? A new update to the Nexus One that fixes 3G issues, includes Google Goggles by default, and a new version of Google Maps that adds suggestions and dedicated night mode. But the big feature? Multitouch on the Nexus One in Maps, Gallery, and Browser. Simply. Awesome. [Google]
UPDATE: In order to get this delicious update, go to Settings > About phone > System Updates. Google is gradually sending out the OTA updates over the course of this week, so you may not get it yet, but go ahead and check! Oh and report here on what you have to say!
Looks like T-Mobile better get its towers into check or else. According to numerous complaints, Nexus One owners have been without data for the past couple of hours, and things aren’t improving yet. As for myself, I only wish I could get a Nexus One, and of course, I’d review it. Hmm, I wonder who I can contact? Oh, and here’s a poll on whether or not your Nexus One is actually functional.
Update: Looks like things might be okay now. If they aren’t, it’s suggested to reboot your Sexy Nexy.
It’s breaking news! Apple has posted its record earnings for the first quarter of 2010, which for Apple ended on December 26th, 2009. The results are very grand, and the figures are nothing short of that. What these new sales figures also do is that now, Apple is officially a 50+ billion-a-year company. Here the numbers speak for themselves, in a big way:
This translates into 3.36 million Macs and 8.7 million iPhones sold, which represents a 33% unit increase for Macintosh sales and 100% unit growth for the iPhone when compared to Q1 2009. The only minor hiccup here is iPod sales; Apple sold 21 million iPods which is 8% less than Q1 2009. Besides amazing sales figures, and Jobs’ alleged statement of the Apple Tablet: “This will be the most important thing I’ve ever done”, he also said, and officially (mind you), “The new products we are planning to release this year are very strong, starting this week with a major new product that we’re really excited about.”
I think I smell Apple Tablet. Full PR after the break.
The Wi-Fi equipped Palm Pixi Plus is headed to Verizon Wireless on January 25th. That’s really the only difference between the Sprint Pixi and the Verizon one. As for the Palm Pre Plus, it has 2x the internal RAM of the original model, 16GB storage, no navigational button, and a built-in inductive back cover for Touchstone inductive charging. A Flash 10.1 app will “soon” be available at the App Catalog for the Palm Pre Plus only. As for pricing, Verizon isn’t talking about that — yet. UPDATE: Press release after the jump!
As much as the above title might deceive you, that’s what’s going on right now at CES. This “netbook” has am 11.6-inch display, NVIDIA GT335M switchable graphics, rumored 6.5 hours of battery life on integrated and “over 2 hours” on gaming mode. That’s all for now, but you can be sure we’ll be ready to post any new details once they come out. UPDATE: After speaking to a person that will remain anonymous here, the M11X “isn’t coming out in the next several weeks”. Stay Tuned.
