Rise and shine, it’s time to kick off your morning with the US Update. Headlining this morning’s news is an update on PS3 jailbreaker Geohotz who reportedly left the US for a South American vacation. We follow up with rumors of Motorola Mobility’s web-based OS then drop details on the BlackBerry PlayBook battery life. This and more on today’s US Update.
Maybe it’s the food, maybe it’s the women, heck maybe it was just Sony’s legal team. Anyway you shake it, George ‘Geohotz’ Hotz now resides in South America. The PS3 jailbreaker is now enjoying the tropical lifestyle. A report was released yesterday suggesting Motorola Mobility is hedging its bet on Android, hoping to release its own mobile OS. The purported web-based OS seems to be a likely move according to industry analysts.
Orange UK has listed the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play, Neo and Arc as coming soon on their website. We’ve got the scoop. After yesterday’s DVR announcement, we’re back again with huge news for Samsung fans. The Korean manufacturer has released its first Freesat DVR this morning and it comes with an impressive set of features for a newcomer.
Last up this morning is confirmation the BlackBerry PlayBook’s battery will last up to “10 hours with continual use”. We knew the PlayBook would match the iPad 2 pricing, but now it matches the battery life? Could we be looking at the tablet dark horse? That wraps up the latest and greatest in the world of tech news this morning. As always I’m Nick Marshall and I’ll see you again tomorrow.
