PlayStation Vita only stores 100 apps
The PlayStation Vita is Sony's latest portable gaming console, but while it may come with awesome graphics and a huge screen, there's one caveat that's more than mildly annoying.

Sony CEO: High-end phones are our salvation
Sony CEO Kaz Hirai predicts the company's ailing smartphone division will be turned around by a greater focus on high-end devices, such as the flagship Xperia Z announced last week, as it abandons the feature-phone business. "We are more in toward the high end of the market as opposed to trying to get into the commoditized portion" Hirai said in Japan today, Bloomberg reports, buoyantly confident where Sony's phone unit operating loss remains huge.

If you're a fan of Sony Android-powered tablets, you may have been interested when specifications for the Xperia Tablet Z leaked earlier this week.

White PS3 Slim destined for Canada according to Best Buy listing
We're getting some good news for our pals in Canada this evening, as Best Buy seems to think that Sony's white PS3 super slim will be launching in the country later this month. A new listing for the colored console has popped up on Best Buy's website, giving us details about its release date and price to boot. Since Best Buy probably wouldn't begin advertising a new console without advance notice from Sony, we feel okay saying that this is probably legitimate, but keep in mind that there hasn't been any official confirmation from Sony at this hour.

Sony PS4 teased for pre-E3 May reveal
Sony will make a PlayStation 4 announcement at E3 2013 in June, “or even earlier in May,” according to the company’s vice president of Home Entertainment, potential beating Microsoft to the punch in detailing its next-gen console. The Japanese firm has so-far been coy on its future gaming plans, but Hiroshi Sakamoto confirmed to Emol that the “big secret” news was building to a focus at the annual gaming event, or potentially jumping the gun with details the month before.
Next Xbox, PlayStation will cost $400 according to analyst
2013 definitely feels like the year of the next-gen console, with Microsoft and Sony both said to be prepping their next consoles for reveal (and possible release) this year. After spending some time at CES talking to game developers and distributors, analyst Colin Sebastian of Baird Equity Research is ready to predict a price point for these incoming consoles, saying in a note to investors today that both should launch with a price tag of $350-$400 here in the US. That includes the next PlayStation, remember, which is a far cry from the $499 and $599 price points its predecessor launched at.

Why Motion Gaming Should Be Left Out of the PlayStation 4
At the end of February, Sony will be holding a special PlayStation event that, industry experts believe, will be used to show off its next console. Likely dubbed the PlayStation 4, the console is expected to come with an improved online experience, better graphics, and Blu-ray. And since the PlayStation 3 comes with the Move motion-gaming accessory, it’s believed that the console will also integrate a similar function in some way.
But I’m here to tell Sony something. I can appreciate that the company wants to jump on the motion bandwagon made popular by the Wii and arguably better by the Kinect, but bundling such a feature into the PlayStation 4 makes absolutely no sense.
Sony VAIO T15 Touch and T14 Touch hands-on
It's all-fingers-on-screen for Sony's latest VAIO ultrabooks, the T15 Touch and T14 Touch, which each slap a 10-digit multitouch layer on top of the regular display for some swiping Windows 8 action. Fresh at CES this week, the new Intel-powered duo is more of the same from Sony's ultrabook line-up, with brushed aluminum chassis and backlit keyboards.
