Another big brand adopting Android is Sony Ericsson. The clamour for a PSP Phone has been relentless ever since the handheld was first conceived. And now, a gadget craved by so many could finally be seeing the light of day, thanks to a tie-in with Google Android.

A 'trusted source' has spilt the beans to Engadget, telling the US site that the new phone will rock a similar design to the somewhat unloved PSPgo. That means a landscape slider, eschewing a standard QWERTY keyboard for gaming keys, a touchpad for analogue controls and even the same shoulder buttons as a PSP.

There's even the suggestion that this Android PSP phone could be out in the wild by October, tying in with the possible release of Gingerbread. It would certainly be THE phone to own this Christmas.

E3 2010 show was very interesting this year with all 3 of the major players showing what to we have to look forward to

Microsoft: Next instalments of the long established titles like Gears of War, Fable and of course, Halo, are to be expected. More excitingly Xbox 360's Kinect, which brings controller-free gaming to the platform, as well as adding voice and gesture controls made its' debut. Kinect is a major leap forward in the gaming experience that will appeal to both mainstream and casual gamers, and with a new streamlined Xbox 360, Kinect is more akin to a console launch than a peripheral.

Sony: Sony's biggest PS3 push centred around 3D, which meant gamers would need to update their TV to make it all work. Sony's also getting big into motion control with the PlayStation Move. Starting at $100 for the main controller with the Eye camera and Sports Champions, the secondary controller will be at $30.

A wildcard here that seems to be under the radar is Apple's recent move into gaming with their iOS platform, which has taken mobile game marketshare from both Sony and Nintendo.

On a smaller note, Apple's CEO Steve Jobs officially announced the iPhone 4 at the company's annual developer conference in San Francisco. Even though many of the new phone's features had leaked to the masses beforehand, anticipation among users, analysts and critics ran high. Among the most important features of the phone are multitasking and a new video-chat tool. But the new iPhone is just one of several announcements Apple hopes will further distinguish the world's most valuable technology company from rivals such as Google. In a bid to also capture some of the blackberry's enterprise users, Apple has also publicised its' launch into Enterprise level integration.

With a very strong presence in the consumer market, Apple is going after businesses. Even though BlackBerrys are ubiquitous in the enterprise market, Mr. Jobs took time to highlight the new iPhone's improvements in data protection and exchange server integration. It'll take a lot more than Monday's announcements to knock RIM out of first place in the business world, but iPhone pickup is growing in corporations so never say never.

Being an adult is busy work, you find yourself having less time to watch TV than when you were just a student. That's why TV should be working around us not the other way around. The BBC showed off the latest iteration of its iPlayer service this week, dubbed iPlayer 3, promising better streaming capabilities, social integration and a general simplification of the service. Whilst still in beta, the new user interface is cleaner and is brought into the present with a TV listings page that tells you what's on now. There is now a one-click window between channels, which means that you can essentially channel hop the iPlayer's live TV content - pass me that remote!!

The social web has been integrated into the iPlayer, with partnerships with Twitter and Facebook announced. This allows for some audience interaction when watching programmes, all within what the BBC is calling "a clean and intuitive user experience". If you fancy taking a look at what your friends have been watching you can now do this through the Friends Recommendations section of iPlayer. This is another social enhancement to the site, which obviously wants you to view as much content as possible. The last big announcement from the BBC is Windows Live Messenger integration. Essentially using the new release of Windows Live Messenger, you will be able to synchronise watching shows with your friends wherever they are (through an on-screen minutes and seconds counter so you can see how far through the programme you both are) and live chat about the programme or spoil the plot for your buddies!

The BBC has decided that it is to become a hub for VoD content from other broadcasters. Essentially on its BBC online homepage it will offer links to ITV Player, 4OD, Click, Demand Five and SeeSaw. If you want to try it out for yourself, go to http://beta.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/.

A fun little titbit, atmospheric scientists at Geneva University's have recently published an experiment with a laser technology that is capable of 'squeezing' water from air, both indoors and outdoors, creating rainmaking clouds on any preferred location. Although a clever breakthrough, John Latham from the National Centre for Atmospheric Research suggest laser technology to create rain on demand is not perfect as there are conditions required to achieve this phenomenon.

Another big change in the interweb is to allow for the first time full web addresses that contain no Latin characters. Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are the first countries to have so-called "country codes" written in Arabic scripts. More than 20 countries have requested approval for international domains from the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (Icann). When Icann first announced its plans for non-Latin web names it said it was the "biggest change" to the net "since it was invented 40 years ago". Statistically over half the internet users around the world don't use a Latin-based script as their native language but IDNs (internationalised domain names) are about making the internet more global and accessible for everyone. I guess the World Wide Web truly lives up to its name now.

So how does this all work? Using special shutter glasses, the lenses rapidly block one eye at a time so that each eye sees only the frame of image meant for it. Essentially re-creating artificial depth perception when images from our left and right eyes merge into one; which is why buying additional glasses could cost you more in the long run if you were to invite a giant movie party. Samsung has launched its' 3DTV range out to the UK this week.
