Is Sony Prepping PlayStation Portable 2 for E3?

One of the bigger announcements at E3 this year will be Nintendo's 3D handheld console, the 3DS. However, if unnamed industry sources are correct, Nintendo is going to have to fight for the limelight with Sony.

MCV says it has been informed of significant increases in Q4 2010 marketing spending at two key publishers. This, coupled with the fact that the PSP is quite out of date and the PSPGo was a non-starter has led to speculation that these companies are laying the groundwork for new hardware.

Nexus One Running Android 2.2 is 450% Faster

Froyo is out there and it's fast.

Google has a habit of giving future versions really tasty sounding codenames. Be it Cupcake, Éclair or Froyo, they all sound delicious. However, Froyo (that’s Android 2.2) is sounding more and more delicious by the day because when it hits my Nexus One, Android will be 450 percent faster than it is now.

The guys over at Android Police have Froyo running on a Nexus One and boy, is it a bump in speed over Android 2.1. The lads played around with it and ran some tests using Linpack, which tests the performance of Android's Dalvik VM, the brains of Android. According to their results, while a HTC Hero (Android 1.6) scored about 2 MFLOPs and their Nexus One running 2.1 clocked between 6.5 and 7 MFLOPs, Android 2.2, or Froyo, rang in at 37.5. Yowza!

EA Sports Making a FIFA Game for Facebook

EA President Peter Moore today blogged about a partnership with Playfish, a social gaming developer that EA purchased last year.
