With all of the attention that has been placed on the upcoming “Playstation Phone,” which is actually known as the XPERIA Play, you would think that the PSP had faded into oblivion and would now be replaced by mobile devices that focused on gaming technology.

It looks as though those assumptions are not true. A number of sources have confirmed that unlocked Sony Ericsson will be announcing the latest installment of their PSP series on January 27th in Tokyo, Japan.

These sources have claimed that publisher first got wind of the upcoming announcement in late 2010, allowing them to prepare to put some titles together for the brand new system. The new PSP, the PSP 2, will probably receive a significant hardware boost over the first device, although no solid information has been released as to what those specs might entail. With the XPERIA Play performing poorly in its first frame rate tests, it too has been surrounded by rumors that it was going to be receiving a hardware upgrade. Some of Sony’s biggest third party game development companies are already reportedly hard at work on the upcoming device, so it will be interesting to see what kind of games it launches with.

There is also no new information regarding backwards compatibility with old PSP games, although you would assume that they would do everything in their power to allow users to seamlessly upgrade from one device to another. Sony is clearly putting a lot of focus on the mobile gaming industry with the PSP 2 and the XPERIA Play, but at this time neither has received an official announcement. It will be interesting to see how both devices are regarded by users and fans of the first PSP. The XPERIA Play will probably run on the Android operating system, although a version has not been specified.

Shaw, a company that is based in Calgary will reportedly is launching their first wireless network for unlocked cell phones sometime in September 2011. The move has long been rumored to be in the works but no concrete evidence about the move was announced by the company itself. In a statement by Jim Shaw, the CEO of the company, he said that the company was looking to expand their technology and would also be planning a wireless launch for later in the year, officially confirming rumors that had been in the wind in recent weeks.

The date that he gave was pretty non-specific. Shaw simply said that they were looking at a “late 2011” launch of the new technology, likely because he didn’t want to horse-strong the company into a solid date that they had to try to meet. However, closer inspection on the company website shows that they are aiming for a September launch. It is kind of strange that Jim Shaw wouldn’t include that in his statement if it was going to be placed on the website.

Keep in mind that other companies that have aimed for a similar launch were also delayed a few months before the technology became available to the public. It will be interesting to see how quickly the company is able to roll the technology out once they start the process of launching. Other companies, including both Bell and TELUS have had issues with launching their network in a quick and timely fashion. There are many nuances that come with launching your own wireless network and although Shaw appears to be in the perfect position to make the move, it wouldn’t be surprising to see that they were unable to make their specified launch date that was also missed by larger companies. Many are eagerly awaiting the launch of Shaw’s wireless network.

The brand new Unlocked Blackberry Curve 9300 3G, which is capable of running the OS 6, have already been marketed by Rogers and Bell. Now it is time for Telus, a national telecommunication company in Canada, to launch the Blackberry 9300. Telus is famous of providing a vast range of communication products which includes voice, Internet protocol, entertainment, data, video etc. The features of this phone are not, at least, extraordinary. It includes display of QVGA along with 3G, Wi-Fi, a photo snapper of 2 megapixels, and a memory slot of 256 MB. These were also the features of the last Blackberry product, Curve 8530. But there lays a difference from the Curve 8530, which is it can run the OS 6. Pearl 9100, Bold 9650, and Unlocked Bold 9700 – these three models also are capable of running the OS 6.

Torch 9800 from Blackberry introduced the OS 6 in the market and no doubt, it is technologically much more advanced than the new  Unlocked Curve 3G 9300. It takes us by surprise that Telus decided the market value of this model to be 199USD on a contract of three years. In comparison with the Blackberry 6, it is too high a market price for the Curve 3G. The HPSA roaming, introduced by Blackberry 6, received a good response from the audience. It is difficult to understand why Telus sets 199USD for Curve 3G while the Blackberry 3G costs 175USD. Moreover Bold 9700 which is much more admirable than the Curve 3G costs $100 only. Moving on to the prices set by Rogers and Bell, Bell sets the market price of 49.95USD and Roger is offering it for 79.99USD.

If you are already convinced to have a Curve 3G 9300, you will have to go to the online store of Telus.
