Sony dropped a couple of big bombs today on the portable gaming world. First, the long-awaited PSP2 (apparently, dubbed the NGP) was announced with a whopping 5-inch OLED touchscreen, dual analog sticks, front and rear cameras, and a touch panel on the back of the unit.
The NGP’s display sports a 960×544 resolution, which roasts the aging PSP’s 480×272 4.3-inch display. Additionally, the NGP features 3G, WiFi and GPS connectivity, along with accelerometer and gyroscrop motion sensing akin to the PlayStation Move. It’s also not going to use the PSP’s UMD media format, but Sony isn’t entirely clear just yet on what format you’ll be using to plug in games. The NGP won’t be available until the end of 2011, just in time for holiday shoppers.
The second big bomb is that the PlayStation Suite is coming to Android phones (Android 2.3 minimum req’d) this year, which will include support for emulated PSOne games in addition to newly developed titles designed specifically for the platform.
More details in the press releases below. [click to continue…]

One of the best toys that I had as a child was a radio controlled car. While I had a number of toy R/C cars like you find on the shelf at Wal-Mart, when I was 11 or 12, I received my first 1/10 scale kit R/C truck for Christmas (Joe was actually the one to get me hooked on them).
It was a Traxxas Hawk (that was so long ago that it doesn’t even show up as a “legacy model” on the Traxxas website). As R/C car kits went back then, it was pretty much a piece of crap. Later, I would get an Associated RC10 (buggy) and an RC10T (truck). I put all of my money and all of my Christmas and birthday lists went into R/C cars and trucks for a number of years. As a bonus, I learned quite a bit about algebra, geometry and physics without even realizing it. Ah, those were the days.
These were the memories stirred up when I saw the above RACER demo that Malte Jahmlich over at sputnic.tv put dreamed up. Jahmlich and his pals put together an R/C car system that’s controlled by a video game racing console, and a track that mimics Wipeout. The greatest thing about the concept is that you control the car from a first person perspective thanks to a wireless video camera mounted on the car. It beats the heck out of the dirt tracks Joe and I tried to build for our R/C cars way back when.
Bravo, gentlemen. Bravo.

The big hit of press preview show at CES 2010 was the Parrot AR.Drone. You could hardly get through the door of the Preview show floor because of the crowd oohing and aahing over this wicked little toy.
This plastic and styrofoam aircraft looks like one of those toy copters or spaceships you see at the mall. Not so fast though.
Look closer and you’ll find out quickly that the AR.Drone is a much smarter toy. In fact, it’s a video game.
The AR.Drone takes video games to an entirely different level.
The controller?
Your iPhone.
That’s right. This quadricopter is controlled by an iPhone or iPod Touch thanks to the on-board Wi-Fi system.
Video, more pics and details after the jump.
