Sony's PS3 Motion Controller is Called "Move"

So much for "Wand" or "Arc."

So all the guessing about Sony's motion controller for the PlayStation 3 is out the window. Surely we should have figured out the name would have something to do with movement, but no. We came up with "Wand" or "Arc" or some other silly name we can't mention here.

Surprisingly, Sony didn't wait until E3 2010 to show how clever the PlayStation Move title would be for its upcoming device. Instead, it broke out the controller during GDC 2010 today and said that it will arrive in stores this Fall.

Gizmodo reports that Sony will provide three packages at launch: the PlayStation Move controller by itself, a bundle with the Move, the Eye, and a game, and a complete package with Move, the console, and more. Sony said that the Eye + Move combo package will cost less than $100.

The site was also able to get a little hands-on with the device, and said that Sony adapted a SOCOM game to use the PlayStation Move. "SOCOM, compared to point-and-shoot shooters on the Wii, was much smoother, much less jittery and more accurate," the site said. "The combination of Move and PlayStation Eye seems to work well in this aspect, but it's not exactly better to use this when you compare it to a standard controller or a Mouse + Keyboard."

"I can see this as better for novices to shooters, being able to aim where you want to shoot," the site adds.

Samsung Shows How Super AMOLED is Better

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQkLMG3SBQ4Forget just regular OLED, Samsung has SUPER AMOLED to show you.

When Samsung showed off its Super AMOLED-phone last month, we were intrigued at what made it a special phone for the South Korean company. The specs were impressive, but the unique feature of a "super" AMOLED is what made it stand out.

Samsung had just released a promotional video that expressed why Super AMOLED is better than the TFT technology that's used in the iPhone or the regular AMOLED in the Google/HTC Nexus One.

Verizon: iPad is a Big Opportunity for Us

Verizon says that the iPad is a big opportunity for the company.

Even though Verizon Wireless didn't get first dibbs on Apple's upcoming iPad tablet, that's not stopping the Big Red from milking the iPad launch and scoring a few data contacts next month.

Engadget has supplied a screenshot of what looks to be a corporate PDF stored on the Verizon Wireless website. The memo suggests that Apple's iPad is an "opportunity" for the company, and in some ways, is suggesting that Verizon employees promote the Wi-Fi only model.

Why? So that Verizon Wireless can sell it's MiFi device.

For $60 per month, this $100 pocket-sized 3G router can connect up to five devices to the Internet. The catch is that subscribers only get 5GB of downloadable data per month. The device comes with a two-year contract, but offers a $50 online discount for new accounts.

Although iPad consumers will initially save money by purchasing the Wi-Fi version over the pricier 3G model, in the long run, it will cost double to use Verizon rather than AT&T's non-contracted, dedicated, unlimited iPad plan.

"Why pay more for the 3G version and get 3G service on an overloaded network with limited coverage," Verizon asks in the memo.

Sorry Big Red, but it sounds like the iPad Wi-Fi + 3G model and AT&T's service will be the cheaper, sure bet.

Report: Windows 7 SP1 Release Pushed to Q4'10

Waiting for SP1 before jumping to Windows 7? It could still happen this year

Now that Windows 7 has settled in inside consumer homes after the considerable marketing push from retail, attention is turning to Microsoft's next step in development – the first Service Pack.

Just to be extra safe, many IT professionals prefer to wait until at least the first Service Pack for a Windows version before implementing a new version of the OS into their departments. The reason is that the first massive wave of users will already have hit the OS to clear out any possible bugs and compatibility issues.

According to source of TechARP, Microsoft initially planned a 22-month development period for Windows 7 SP1 but is now looking to bump that up to a release sometime within 2010.

We've heard from various other sources that the updated target for SP1 is sometime this summer or fall, the TechARP's sources point to the last (presumably calendar) quarter of 2010. Such a release would put Windows 7's first service pack on a similar RTM-to-SP1 schedule that Windows XP and Windows Vista had.

While Microsoft hasn't detailed exactly what SP1 will bring, many expect it just to be a massive collection of the incremental patches and updates that are already presently available from Windows Update.
