As the NGP reveal video demonstrated, the new Live Area is much more iPod-like, giving the user a slew of app buttons and the ability to slide up and down to other screens....

Now we have an official timeline for one of the PS4’s most-highly anticipated selling points, one that wasn’t anywhere near ready for the November 15 launch, Gaikai streaming support....
The PlayStation Home trademark was renewed with the European Union Intellectual Property Office.

The trademark shows no evidence of having lapsed between 2009 and now, meaning Sony has maintained it through PlayStation Home’s lifespan on PS3 and through the PS4 era even after PlayStation Home was shut down in 2015....

But credit to Sony – it has made a beautiful piece of phone hardware at a reasonable flagship price and improved in key areas....
Last’s years Z3 range included one tablet which was Sony’s first smaller size, the 8in Z3 Tablet Compact.
