PlayStation Vita

In other news from Sony, the PlayStation Vita (formerly identified as the Sony NGP—Next Generation Portable) finally has a price point.

The handheld gaming system, like its console big brother, is one of the most advanced on the market. It will have dual analog thumbsticks, six-axis motion sensors, front and rear facing cameras, an OLED touch screen, a touchpad on the reverse—all tucked into a tiny little device that fits in the palms of your hands.

Internally, the specs will make the device the most powerful portable gaming system around and gamers will rejoice with “hardcore” titles like Uncharted: Golden Abyss, and LittleBigPlanet.

However, the real news now is the pricing. The PlayStation Vita will be available in two models, a 3G version and a WiFi only version. The WiFi only model will run around $250 while its cellular cousin will cost $300. The 3G version will only be available through AT&T (because that worked so well for Apple) and will (most likely) require a contract or an upgrade to an existing contract.

These price points put the Vita within striking distance of Nintendo’s own portable gaming devices (the Nintendo DS and 3DS) and will likely take a good chunk out of the gaming giant’s wallet.

Microsoft Comfort Curve Ergonomic Keyboard

I’ve seen some pretty whacky keyboard mutations that claim to benefit the user and increase ergonomics, lessening the dangers of carpal tunnel and other repetitive stress ailments but most of them are far, too far-flung, to be of any real use. Microsoft, however, isn’t exactly known for reinventing the wheel. That’s why I think that their newly redesigned Comfort Curve keyboard is one of the simplest and most efficient keyboards the average user can upgrade to.

Instead of splitting the keyboard like many fancier keyboards try to do—which makes it a clunky peripheral, especially when using it for various functions other than typing—Microsoft just gave their device a little curve.

The bowed design supposedly allows the user to properly align their hands and ease stress on muscles and tendons. At the same time, the keyboard retains all the functionality of a standard QWERTY keyboard. This is partially thanks to the fact that designers kept the keys a uniform size rather than varying them to achieve an end. Microsoft even kept the number pad (which a lot of ergonomic keyboards surgically remove).

The best part about this peripheral though is definitely the price. You can get your hands on one of these when they launch in August for just $20. That’s right around the price of other bargain basement keyboards which don’t work half as well.

The only drawback I can see is that the glossy surface is definitely going to pick up dust and fingerprints a lot faster than your old model.

HTC EVO 3D En Route to Europe

Europe’s first 3D-capable smartphone, the LG Optimus 3D (launched as the LG THRILL 4G on AT&T in the U.S.), will soon be hitting store shelves on July 7. And, HTC is going to follow suit in the same month–maybe within the same time week or a little later–with the GSM version of the HTC EVO 3D.

HTC announced the European release of the HTC EVO 3D yesterday in London. The announcement gave no specific release date for the HTC EVO 3D. However, it did say that the Android smartphone will become available all over Europe starting in July. No price info has been leaked out yet, although rumors say the price range will be somewhere around EUR500.


Touting the device as a “3D multimedia superphone,” HTC highlights the multimedia capture and playback capabilities of the HTC EVO 3D, particularly its glasses-free 3D display (thanks to a parallax barrier layer) and its stereoscopic 5-megapixel camera capable of capturing 720p video. It is powered by Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

The HTC EVO 3D’s glasses-free display is on a 4.3-inch qHD screen (540×960). Rendering 3D images requires large processor and battery power, and the HTC EVO 3D comes equipped with components that are more than capable–a dual-core, 1.2-GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon and a 1730-mAh battery.

Comparing apples and apples, the HTC EVO 3D’s biggest competitor in Europe in terms of specs and 3D capability is the LG Optimus 3D. Which of these two is your personal pick?
