PlayStation 3 won’t hit shelves until November
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The signs were all there. And now it’s official.
Sony’s PlayStation 3, the game console which has countless folks frothing, has been officially delayed from a Spring release until November.
Quite the bummer for those hoping to score one of these consoles in time for summer.
Part of the reason? Apparently, the final copy protection specs for the Blu-ray drive incorporated into the PS3 needed to be finalized.
There is some shred of good news: the PS3 will incorporate a n upgradable 60 GB hard drive. But the delay definitely offers a terrific window for Microsoft to start ramping up production of Xbox 360s and HD-DVD add-on drives.
Is this a coup for HD-DVD? Does this affect your purchasing decision on the next-gen gaming consoles? Post away.
What is ‘Origami?’
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
For the past two weeks, excitement has been brewing about a new device/application from Microsoft dubbed Origami and speculation has been rampant online.
A teaser site — www.origamiproject.com — offered little info but the cat is apparently out of the bag.
Origami appears to be software that will run on a new series of super-small PCs that appear to be a cross between a PDA and a tablet PC. Wireless connectivity, Bluetooth, etc. are apparently part of the package.
Official details will be unveiled tomorrow at the Cebit electronics show in Germany but photos of a Samsung device are already circulating online.
The big question: to whom is this product geared? Apparently, the price will be set at around $500, which makes it a terrific entry-level way to connect to the Internet and perform other rudimentary tasks. Still, with only a modicum of info, it’s difficult to speculate just what Origami and its corresponding hardware can achieve.
So who’s interested in Origami? What qualities will it need to succeed? And when and why would you use it?
Post away. More details to come.
