There is as always plenty of speculation surrounding the release of the next generation PlayStation from Sony. The gaming industry is agog with rumours that Sony has started work on the Sony PlayStation 4 and we can expect that same by late 2012 or at least latest by early 2013.

When the predecessor Sony PlayStation 3 got launched in 2006 Sony stated that this gaming console was future proof for about 10 years. And it is true also that the PSP3 came fitted with what was the ultimate hardware in its integrated blu ray player and sufficient television capabilities, the Sony PlayStation3 indeed proved to be a run away hit and has sold a whopping 20 million units worldwide.

However, Sony has also to consider the competition and not allow them any head start when it comes to the next generation gaming consoles.

Sony, it is reliably learnt has given its developers the kit for the proposed Sony PlayStation 4 console and it is currently in the beta stage.

A good majority of mobile phone users in the UK market feel that the mobile phones and smartphones that were built earlier were stronger and sturdier and today lot of handsets need to be sturdier. They say this because there has been an increase in the damage to the mobile device of late.

This feedback has come to light in a new study carried out by the Good Mobile Phones, a mobile phone comparison web site. Its study reveals that a good three quarter of the users here were of the view that their present handsets were less sturdy than what they got to use say five years ago. And they wanted the new lot of devices to be made of more durable material.

Further, a whopping 89 per cent opined that their mobile phone devices need to be stronger to withstand longer usage.

It is interesting to note that technical experts are in the process of developing what is termed as the “self repairing” plastic that may be used in the near future in mobile phone handsets.

Surprisingly enough, many mobile phone customers thought that the Apple iPhone 4S was the weakest when it comes to sturdiness. Probably aesthetics and sturdiness do not go together that much.

Google released its latest version of Android, 4.0 that is endearingly christened Ice Cream Sandwich in October, 20111. And the percentage of devices that have it stands at only 2.9 per cent. This figure was released in the Android developer’s web site keep updating it as and when a new device embraces the Ice Cream Sandwich version of the operating system.

A major reason for this is that currently a healthy 44 per cent of the Android devices have the Gingerbread version running it and the new handsets that are landing today have been pre-planned to run on Gingerbread only.

However, most of these new lot of smartphones, especially those that got launched in 2012 would soon get upgraded to the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich version.

It was in 2009 that Qualcomm announced that it will bring out a path breaking ARM-based laptop that it calls ‘Smartbook’ and claimed that this new device will change the basic complexion and profile of mobile devices.

Now, in a more recent development, in all likelihood you will get to see a Qualcomm produce S4 quad core processor in a Windows 8 version operating system run laptop. This information has been reported in the technology journal The Verge.

It is reliably learnt that Qualcomm would be producing a special version of its Snapdragon S3 processor that has been enhanced to quad core level that is exclusively meant for Windows 8 laptops.

The latest version of Microsoft Windows Phone operating system version 8 surprised users all over as it appeared sans the all too familiar (and considered as mandatory by many across the globe) Start button. And according to the senior authorities in Microsoft it will stay that way only.

Instead of the Start button, Microsoft is providing tutorials instead to facilitate users and make them feel comfortable using the Windows Phone 8.0 version. This provision of the tutorials, it is believed, will be particularly useful to those users who are not that tech savvy and would do with some help and guidance.
