New Sony PS Vita now available across Europe and North America.

Today Sony officially launches its much awaited game console the “Sony PS Vita” which has finally arrived in Europe and North America.


Back In Dec 2011, Sony released this console in Japan and the PS Vita has seen a fair amount of success through its sales in its early days, having sold 321,000 copies within its first two days in Japan. That is a decent figure but its still 50,000 unit sales behind what the Nintendo 3DS scored in its own first two days.

The image below shows the Happy Japan Sony customers with their “Vitas”


Looks like there's more than one editions in it, first Edition bundle ($350 for a 3G Vita, a carrying case, and a 4GB memory card),the $250 Wi-Fi only Vita is also on sale for the first time in the United States, along with the $300 non- bundle 3G/Wi-Fi Vita. The 3G/Wi-Fi Vita is part of a launch bundle, separate from The First Edition bundle, which includes an 8GB memory card (but not case) for a limited time.

Halliburton to replace 4,500 Blackberries to iPhone.

Research In Motion Ltd. has lost another major enterprise customer, this time to Apple Inc.


Halliburton Co, Houston Texas-based firm which is among the largest energy services providers in the world plans to replace about 4,500 company-issued BlackBerrys with iPhones within two years. The reason is in order to better support our mobile applications initiatives, said by Halliburton representative to social medias on Tuesday.

Don't be perplexed, recall In November 2010, computer maker Dell Inc. removed approximately
25,000 BlackBerry smartphones and issued employees with devices based on Microsoft Corp.’s Windows Phone 7 platform instead. Also Bank of America and Citigroup company who currently have a massive 500k employees put together, are also considering switching to RIM's rival APPLE in a matter of time.

In the market arena RIM’s share of the United States smartphone market has plummeted from a high of 42.1% two years ago to just 16% by the end of 2011. But the UK shares hasn't dropped yet its still the number one choice for UK citizens/immigrants.

Conclusion: While BlackBerry slows in Bringing the device that will catch back the eye of her lost customer, other manufacturers are way ahead. At the moment Apple already released iPhone 4/4s consecutively with iOS 5 that got that voice to message thing called iSiri, while blackberry are still on the same BlackBerry 7 platform that still has not yet moved the market, but we hear of a BlackBerry 10 this year( I hope this will move them back to where they slide from).

Difference between Bold 4 and Bold 5 9790/9900 respectively.

The last time I posted something related to this was about the difference between blackberry's bold 9780/9790 which some folks claim the 9780 is Bold 4 whereas its just a Bold 3 Click Here to learn more. Well for today we want to see the difference between this two Bold touch smartphones the Bold 9790/9900, the bold 9790 is not as stylish and powerful as the Bold 9900 although they don't really have anything that's not common with each other because from what I can learn the bold 9790 is just like a typical clone of Bold 9900(the most talked about smartphobe ATM).

iPad 3 set for launch in March

According to what i read concerning the rumor which might come true is that Apple is set to launch an iPad 3 and what could be expected from this new gadget is that its going to be similar to it predecessor iPad 2 which was released sometime in Feb last year(2011) but what will be different in this iPad 3 is that it might be running a much faster chip, sporting an improved graphics processing unit, plus a 2048×1536 Retina Display — or something close to it.

With what is been spread Apple is currently developing applications that will fit in this big screen iPad. Little did we know apple iPad is just two years and they already built three different Tablets although two were made whilts steve Jobs was alive while this one is under the regime of Tim cook.

So many guesses from IT bloggers, designers and publishers so below are the thought of people's idea and imagination what the iPad 3 could be like

Could this be iPad 3 ?



May be this...



or this...



Perhaps this is how Steve Jobs thought before he passed out

OMG!!!


Stay glued more still coming.
