Sony has recently announced the launch of a new all-in-one touchscreen desktop, the Sony VAIO J series.

The PC has a 21.5-inch Full HD VAIO Display Plus touchscreen that is using a intuitive fingertip technology and features a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The VAIO J series is powered by an Intel Core i3-350M 2.26 GHz processor, backed up by 4GB of DDR3 SDRAM and an Nvidia GeForce 310M graphics chip.

The all-in-one desktop also comes with a 500GB HDD, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, DVD burner, webcam and other. The Sony VAIO J series is now available for pre-order and it will be available to buy from the online store later this month for $900.

The latest financial results are showing that Sony’s PSP sales are very low, considering that the sales number was about 14 million in 2008  and suffered a sudden drop to 9.9 million in 2009 and this regardless of the fact that Sony released the PSP Go last year.

So it is only a matter of time before Sony comes with a new plan. Rumors are saying that Sony could be saving the biggest surprise of this year’s E3 with the launch of a new console, the PSP 2. As for the next month’s E3, we already know a few big names who will take part to the event, such as Move, Natal and Nintendo with their 3DS.

So if this proves to be true, we can witness the launch of a new PSP console, the console that will bring Sony back on the podium.

Google has recently teamed up with Sony and Intel in order to develop the Google TV, which will not be a regular TV as you probably thought, it will be a TV with a built-in computer running Google’s Android OS.

Also, Google will give developers the tools to create applications to run on Google TV as with the iPhone and mobile phone platforms that are using Google’s Android. So if this works and the Google TV enters our homes, it will be a great step for Google into TV advertising.

Some guys from Acidmod and a few from Sony were thinking about a way to bring the PSP back in our hands.

So they created this new PSP mod which features an extra joystick, 32GB internal memory instead of UMDs, extra charging port, emulator and camera.

Japanese tech giant, Sony, has announced a slick line of 3D LCD TV’s scheduled to hit retailer shelves in June, and with it, a set of really expensive series of 3D glasses.

After Sony announced the prices of its 3D peripherals, it has become clear the Japanese manufacturer plans to cash in on not just the 3D LCDs, but accessories as well. I hope you’re sitting down, cause these prices might cause faints, and even seizures.

Sony’s TDG-BR100 and TDG-BR50 active shutter glasses, will be priced at $133 each, when they hit stores, in June. And a set of four Sony 3D glasses and infrared transmitter, to drive them, will have you fork out a staggering $587.

But it’s not all bad, Sony plans to give away two sets of glasses and the transmitter to anyone who buys its LX900 TV, priced at $3,900. And you thought Sony was greedy, didn’t you?

When the PS3 was first launched on the market, 120MB of its 512MB RAM were used only for OS applications and that means that less than 400MB of RAM were available for game developers.

While the Xbox 360 was using just 32MB for its operating system, the designers of PS3 have tried until now to bring some updates and improvements to the console in order to reduce the amount of RAM used by the OS. Now, they finally managed to reduce the number of MB used by the operating system to 50, which means that there is an additional amount of 70MB of RAM available for game developers to use at will.
