A Bright Future For PlayStation 4?
For those of you who may not know Sony recently announced the PlayStation 4, the official successor to Sony’s previous popular video game console the PlayStation 3. The PlayStation 4 is due for release in Q4 of this year and the future definitely seems brighter for Sony and the PlayStation.
So lets go over the bulk of the information that Sony gave in their February event.
First of all the PlayStation 4 will be the first console released by Sony that will embrace the x86-x64 system architecture, which as many geeks may know is widely used in today’s modern PCs. The previous architecture that Sony was using was the Cell architecture. The reasoning behind this change was to make it easier for developers to develop applications and games for the upcoming console. Seeing as modern PCs are based on x86-x64 architecture, games and applications could be tested natively on the very same development system rather than in some sort of emulated environment.
iPhone 5 Impressions
So I’ve now had my iPhone 5 since the 26th of February and overall it’s been a fairly decent upgrade from my aging iPhone 4. So in this post I’ll be going over my impressions.
The story of my slightly surprising purchase.
Why the iPhone 5?
Well I already had an iPhone 4 and I still enjoyed what the platform had to offer. Seeing as I also have an iPad running the same OS and a Mac computer which all talk to each other seamlessly, it made sense to go for the latest device on the iOS platform.
My impressions: Unboxing and initial Setup
BlackBerry Z10 Initial Impressions
Last week my work colleague went out and purchased BlackBerry’s new Z10 smartphone to replace his aging BlackBerry Bold 9780. So fortunately I managed to get my hands on the device and get a thorough sense of what was new in the BlackBerry ecosystem. I’ve never been much of a fan of BlackBerry’s devices for anything other than business but the Z10 certainly breaks the mould that BlackBerry have been using for years.
So let’s get started with our overview of this new device.

Mixed Emotions About The New TARDIS
So I think this is my first post on something non-tech related on this website and I aim to make a regular habit of it. Afterall the content I produce is generically geeky. So it can’t all be about one thing! Even though there’s lots to talk about with tech. So here’s my first Sci-fi / Doctor Who / Television / Media post! We couldn’t have asked for a better topic than the most popular dimensionally transcendental time vessel in the universe. The TARDIS.
iPad 4th Generation Impressions
So this may be somewhat of a delayed post but I finally purchased an iPad!
So I’ve now had my iPad since the 26th of November last year and overall I’m loving it. So in this post I’ll be going over my impressions.
The story of my slightly surprising purchase.
Will Microsoft Surface Succeed?
If you didn’t know already Microsoft are releasing a new tablet this month. It’s called Surface. And don’t get confused (like I did initially) the product is not the same as Surface that we saw a few years ago which is now named Microsoft PixelSense. What makes this product really unique is the fact that Microsoft has created both the software for the tablet (Windows 8) and the hardware itself. It remains to be seen whether or not the experience will be flawless, but it likely will due to the hardware and the software both being made for each other. So with this somewhat Apple-ish approach, it really might just work!
When Will OLED Displays Become More Mainstream and Affordable?
So if you’re familiar with display technology, you would have heard about LCD, LED and OLED displays. I made a video a while ago detailing the key differences between each display technology and talking about which is the best in terms of image quality and which is the best value.
The Future of The Xbox
So if you’re familiar with the hugely successful gaming console known as the Xbox, you may also know that a new version is due within the next couple of years. The Xbox is made by Microsoft, the very same company who creates the Windows Operating System. The Xbox has only had two major releases, first with the original Xbox which was shadowed by the Sony PlayStation 2 which is still the most sold console in history with an amazing 154 million units shipped worldwide. The second generation Xbox known as the Xbox 360 was a major hit as it was released in 2005 the technology behind the Xbox 360 was far more advanced than the PlayStation 2. The only other semi-major release of the Xbox was the Xbox 360 slim. Which was essentially the same but with more “polish”. The third major iteration of the Xbox has been named by many as the Xbox 720.
What Can We Expect From GTA V?
So we all know that GTA V was announced last year, but it seems some of us know more than others. A post was written on GTAForums.com in November from who was apparently a UK PlayStation Magazine employee, who’s colleagues had exclusive access to a demo of GTA V a couple of days before writing the post. It is not clear if the information within the post was a load of nonsense or actual things we can expect to see within the game. However let’s hope these things are true because it all sounds rather amazing to say the least.
So the post is below, enjoy.
