O2 launching nation-wide WiFi hotspot

Not so much a 'hotspot', as a blanket of general heat, O2 is intending to provide a technology and service to "enable a seamless customer experience", which will "at least double the number of premium hotspots currently offered by BT Openzone and The Cloud combined by 2013".


Bold claims, and to make such a service "free to customers" too, just why are they doing it?


Well, they worded it well, the service may be free "to customers", but you can rest assured they will be getting their pay cheques from the ad companies. The other benefit will be ease on existing 3G, and future 4G networks.

Sony's "Xperia Play" PlayStation Phone - impending launch!

The guys over at Engadget just nabbed themselves an exclusive preview of Sony's much talked about PlayStation Phone.

It's a very nice looking device - with a fantastic rear - and you should definitely check out their full impression.

Bringing a whole new meaning to PSP, (as it is far more likely to be called that than "Xperia Play" by enthusiasts) the PSPhone is packing an upto 1GHz Qualcomm CPU, with an Adreno 205 GPU. 

It runs Android 2.3 and supports emulators for your old PlayStation and GameBoy games. That's pretty sweet backwards compatibility.

More info, including pricing should appear at MWC.
