The Sony Video Connector Android app has just hit the Market this week. It’s another curious addition to Sony’s Android app portfolio it’s been quietly growing in the last few months, and it’s aimed at delivering iMovie style video editing on your Google phone.

Sony’s PS Vita is set to land on the 17th of December in ints native Japan, which is why the first TV ad has already hit screens. Sony’s always had an interesting take on marketing when it comes to Playstation products, but this one kind of defies explanation. Read more
Jak & Daxter, the classic Naughty Dog platform game duo from the Playstation 2 era, are set to return in 2012. The first three games have been given a few strokes from the HD brush and are ready to land on the Playstation 3. That’s according to the trailer released today. Read more
Google, what the hell? Android Ice Cream Sandwich is an amazing, beautiful, sensible update, and the Galaxy Nexus has the most incredible screen I’ve ever seen on a phone. So why is the lock screen still so utterly idiotic?
Navfree, the gratis GPS mapping service for iPhone, has now arrived on Android. The app brings turn-by-turn guidance for Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand, India, South Africa and Latin America. We know what you’re thinking: Android already has turn-by-turn sat nav guidance in the form of Google Maps Navigation. Luckily, Navfree has an extra trick up its sleeve. Read more
Does that new Xbox 360 Dashboard look nice to you? Me too. Microsoft’s been very uncharacteristic, of late.

And so it begins. The iPad 3 rumour mill is whirring itself into action, with talk of a Retina Display dominating headlines across the tech press. With mention of a device rocking a super hi-res screen in iOS 5 code, as well as analysts claiming Apple has already started work on a 2048×1536 pixel panel for its next gen slate, it seems Cupertino is dead set on making the iPad even sharper.
That’s all well and good. But let’s face it. Slapping on a Retina Display isn’t, and shouldn’t, be priority number one. Users have had the option to jump ship to Android tablets with better panels for almost a year, and sales figures suggest they’re happy to stick with the current iPad’s 1024×768 effort.
The iPad 3’s Retina Display has been the subject of much rumour mongering in recent weeks. But now some concrete evidence of the slate has been dug up in some iOS 5 code, suggesting Apple is at least looking into the viability of a super hi-res version of its best-selling slate.
