A nice piece of fail....

I thought I'd throw this video that was on the youtube most popular.

At least it was snow and just his pride that got broken!

Sony 'S1' PlayStation tablet

Think for a second, what major consumer electronics company doesn't have a tablet to show? Right, Sony. In fact, the rumor womb has been conspicuously barren of salacious Sony tablet tattle ever since Apple's iPad was announced back in 2010. Oh sure, Sony's owned-up to the development of prototypes that fill a "very important position" somewhere in between its own Vaio PC lineup and the Xperia Play byproduct of its Ericsson commingling. But beyond that: zilch, nada... until today. 

We have a couple of tablets we'd like to tell you about, starting with a 9.4-inch honeypot of an Android 3.0 tablet. Details of which have been confirmed by two highly trusted and independent sources. Known by its "S1" codename internally, Sony is busy customizing Matias Duarte's Honeycomb interface to its own specification. Although, we're skeptical of Sony's software capabilities, we've been assured that Sony's work is cutting edge stuff created by a talented engineering team spanning Sony's VAIO, Reader, PlayStation, and Sony Ericsson product groups. The team is lead by the VAIO organization but will probably launch as a Sony product without VAIO branding, according to one source. Sony's custom-built transitions and UI elements have created a user experience that rivals and at times improves upon the iPad's renowned experience. The tablet itself, we're told, is 100 percent focused on Qriocity, Sony's music, games, ebooks, and videos on demand service that's just been launched in Europe. It comes preloaded with Sony PS One games, a Bravia Media Remote, and yes, PlayStation integration -- though it's unclear if that'll be limited to Remote Play or if the Android tablet will be PlayStation Suite certified. One source speculates that it could very well get the PlayStation gaming seal of approval by the time it ships -- but that's just an educated guess.

Yet more T-Mobile Themes

rori~ over at XDA has created some great themes for the T-Mobile Theme engine.

Find them here: XDA

It would seem now that a lot of love is being given to the theme engine after a slow start (not many on the Market yet).

I have to thank themers like rori~ and haxzamatic for the love we get on our devices - none of which would be possible without T-Mobile and the Cyanogenmod team.

I'm still to look making my own theme (only ever made one that was a Ghostbusters theme but then never had the time to complete it properly!). Hopefully one day I will find the time to make one and I'll post it on here.

Until then I'll enjoy all the hard work that has gone into these themes.

Thanks guys!

CM 7 RC 1 coming to a phone near you....

Cyanogen's tweets today confirm that CM7 RC 1 are being dropped!!

With still no sign of the Nexus One OTA I guess this is the only thing that's missing from this jigsaw but at least we now have a test built other than nightlies!!

Check out Cyanogenmod for more!

God I love this rom!
