Sony Playstation Phone, More and More
Soon We’ll Tell You if Facebook is Making an Android Phone
Or at least, we'll tell you whatever they're about to tell us, and it appears more than likely that it'll have something to do with phones, contact lists, and a mysterious connection to Firefox, iPhone, Google Chrome OS, and two of the most rock and roll developers in the world: Joe Hewitt and Matthew Papakipos. We'll be at a special Mobile Event at Facebook HQ on November 3rd and we'll be able to tell you all about it. Until then, speculation below!

Samsung Galaxy Tab Review
Samsung’s Galaxy Tab proved to be the product of IFA 2010, and has seldom left the headlines since its Berlin debut. Seven inches of Android slate, it promises to be the open alternative to Apple’s iPad and the poster-child for Google’s OS done right on a bigger display. It’s also prompted some significant criticism, with even Steve Jobs weighing in on how suitable the Tab’s screen and OS are to tablet use. Plenty to live up to, then, not least the price tag; check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
SlashGear Week in Review: Week 43 2010
Welcome to this week's edition of the SlashGear Week in Review and Happy Halloween! Monday a Verizon Android smartphone for the coming LTE network was spotted.

Why I Won’t be Getting a Kinect at Launch
If you’ve been following my column on SlashGear, you know that I’m a pretty serious gamer. In fact, I’d say that I’m about as hardcore as they come. Aside from the fact that I’ve been playing games for longer than I choose to remember, I have real and abiding love for everything from role-playing games to sports games. There hasn’t been a single genre that I haven’t at one time or another loved.

Sprint CEO Says WiMAX is their 4G Strategy, Period
Dan Hesse, CEO of Sprint, said recently of the company, "Our 4G strategy is WiMAX, full stop." Of course I had no idea what "full stop" meant when I read it, so I had to look it up, and of course it's just another way of saying "period," as in the mark at the end of this sentence. That means that the ONLY plan Sprint plans on enacting for their 4G strategy is WiMAX. The WiMAX interface was the only interface available at the time when Sprint first had the opportunity to make the move to 4G, and according to Hesse, "it was perfect with the spectrum we owned [2.5GHz.]"

Microsoft Purchasing Chip Company Canesta
Microsoft just goes to the bakery and orders one chip company, right? I go there for cookies. Microsoft may very well be on the verge of buying Canesta, a chip company that specializes in gesture recognition technology - the kind that lets people control devices by moving their bodies rather than touching or clicking. This technology, when combined with cameras, allows devices to perceive the world in three dimensions. Prepare for robot apocalypse.

Parrot Zikmu speakers review
If you want to stand out in the overcrowded iPhone/iPod speaker market you can promise high quality, tempt with distinctive design, throw in features or simply slash the price right down. Parrot’s Zikmu iPod speakers certainly don’t fall into that last category, at $1,600 a pair, but the French company claims the eye-catching Phillipe Starck designed totems slot neatly into the others. Are these “Lime Sorbet” monsters really the best speakers to pair with your PMP? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
Mount Everest: Now with WiFi
If you happen to be one of those sorts of people who like to scale things, things like, say, a giant mountain called Mount Everest, and you'd like to share your business with the world while you're up there, you're now in luck. Right up near the top there is a brand new 3G station (plus 6 more around the area) set up by Ncell, a subsidiary of Swedish telecom company TeliaSonera. Go up there and stream a football game or something. That'd be neato.
