Well folks, just about an hour after the HTC Hero’s official website was discovered, HTC went ahead and officially unveiled the phone. While there aren’t many new details other than what was stated on the website (Qualcomm 528MHz processor, 5MP camera, 3.2″ touch-screen) we do know that the white model will feature Teflon coating to keep it stain (and scratch?) free. However we failed to mention that it will feature a Flash rendering web browser, UI customization, and full integration of social networking sites like Flickr and Facebook. Furthermore, HTC let us know that the Hero will arrive on an announced carrier in Europe next month and Asia last this summer. As for North America, HTC says it will hit later on in 2009. We’ll continue to update this post with pictures and information as HTC unveils more.

They must be keeping Sony Computer Entertainment chief in some dark cave, because he could quite possibly be well outside of the loop. Despite earlier reports that Sony currently has no plans to release a PSP2, newer reports have surfaced saying that not only are they working on one, but the new gaming handheld could be ready some time next year. Chalk this up in the rumor column, but Eurogamer has apparently procured some “publisher sources” saying that a second PlayStation Portable (PSP2) is well into development, because these game publishers are already developing titles for the currently nonexistent handheld. If the dev teams are already working on games for the new portable system, this would mean that the Sony PSP2, whatever it may be called, can only be a short while away. In this way, we could very well be looking at the unexpected launch of the PSP2 by the end of next year, if not shortly thereafter. Remember that the original PSP hit store shelves in 2004, so it’s due for an...

The new portable game console will be equipped with a new feature from Sony which analyzes an individual’s music library and delivers tastes which meet a user’s depicted mood.
