#1...Sony Unveils Successor To PlayStation Portable

Sony has revealed the first details on a long-rumored successor to their struggling PlayStation Portable platform.
The next generation portable, code-named NGP, is scheduled to hit stores later this year.
Revealed during an event in Japan early Thursday, the NGP will feature a 5-inch OLED touchscreen, front- and rear-facing cameras, gyroscope and accelerometer, Wi-Fi and 3G support, and built-in GPS.
The device includes two thumbsticks, addressing a big complaint against the PlayStation Portable.
NGP will also introduce a new software format for games. Each title will be released on a small card using flash memory, and allow users to store downloadable content and their game saves on the card.
According to the official PlayStation blog, Killzone, Uncharted and Call of Duty are among the franchises expected to appear on NGP.

#2...Facebook to launch First cellphone:

Smartphone manufacturer HTC will launch two Facebook branded cell phones next month, London financial daily City A.M. reported Wednesday.
HTC is due to unveil the tie-up with the social network giant at the Mobile World Congress event in Barcelona, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The phones are expected to run on a tweaked version of Google's Android operating system and will prominently display users' Facebook messages and profile content on the home screen, City A.M. said.
HTC produced a design draft of the phone that bears the website's blue and white color scheme and official logo.
It is unclear whether the Facebook phone will be tied to an exclusive mobile carrier. 

#3...Firefox, Google Chrome Adding "Do Not Track" Tools

The Firefox and Google Chrome browsers are getting tools to help users block advertisers from collecting information about them.
Alex Fowler, a technology and privacy officer for Firefox maker Mozilla, says the "Do Not Track" tool will be the first in a series of steps designed to guard privacy. He doesn't say when the tool will be available.
Google Chrome users can now download a browser plug-in that blocks advertisers — but only from ad networks that already let people decline, or opt out of, personalized, targeted ads.
The next version of Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer browser, which is still being developed, will include a similar feature, though people will have to create or find their own lists of sites they want to block.
