PS3 Slim Announced and Priced

 

  The PS3 Slim was announced today and not really much of a surprise.  Sony did the same with the PS1 and PS2 and so inevitably PS3 was next.  The new console consumes 34% less power, is 36% lighter and 33% smaller.  The price will be a reasonable (finally) $299 and it will launch in September.  The current consoles will be dropped in price as well, but no reduced price was given.

2TB Time Capsule Coming Soon?

 

  For some time yesterday, ClubMac had an image of a 2TB Time Capsule Box posted within its product detail section.  The image is no longer on the site which usually is a hint of confirmation.  It is no surprise Apple would release larger iterations of the Time Capsule, which combine a wireless router with a hard drive for backup or storage.  We suspect they put this up by accident as it was showing under the 500GB Time Capsule details and most of these images are from the manufacturer and could have simply used the same file name for the image.  Other than this, there is no more information, but we can assume the release would be just around the corner.

"Net Applications’ February results show the iPhone operating system having managed over nine times the usage of its next smartphone competitor, Windows Mobile, which had just 6.91 percent of the traffic measured across tens of thousands of sites."

 

This does not say that other phones are not used for this purpose, but seeing how the iPhone is the newcomer to the smartphone category, the lead is significant.
