Wrapping up the morning in tech news is the US Update. We’re coming hard this morning with the latest on the PS3 import ban affecting the UK and Europe, revealing our iPad 2 predictions, blowing the lid off Motorola’s webtop announcement and more.
LG is looking to sink its teeth into Sony’s PS3 sales this month as a civil court in Hague ruled in favor of the Korean outfit. Starting today all PS3 consoles imported to Europe and the UK will be sized by customs for at least 10 days. The iPad 2 will be announced in San Francisco in a few hours and we’ve wrapped up all the predictions. A dual-core A9 processor, new GPU and double the memory are the odds on favorites.
Nvidia has launched Tegra Zone, an app curator specializing in games which harness the power of the Tegra chipset. The app is free and the perfect addition to your Tegra 2 smartphone, this means Xoom, Atrix and Optimus 2X owners for now. Speaking of the Xoom, the folks at xda-developers have managed to overclock the world’s first Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet to 1.5 GHz. We’ve got your step-by-step instructions to take your tablet to the next level.
Last up this morning is news from Motorola on its webtop application. This is the app that turns the Motorola Atrix from a smartphone into a laptop with a Linux environment. All high-end Motorola smartphones will offer the feature in the second half of 2011 so watch out!
That wraps up the goods for this fine morning. As always I’m Nick Marshall and I’ll see you again tomorrow.
