According to the Taiwanese site DigiTimes reported, Foxconn and Pegatron (a subsidiary of Asus), already assemblers PS3, PS4 would be engaged in production starting this year, with a planned launch in 2012. Digitimes also gives the volume of production: 20 million units in 2012. There are still mysterious, however, the technical characteristics of future consoles.


The PS3, who will turn 5 years this winter, is now in power at the same level of graphics card or an entry-level smartphone evolved. The only indication that Sony has for the moment (at the presentation of financial results last May) is that the cost of production of the Playstation 4 will not be higher than that of the Playstation 3 launch. This means that the Japanese company has not adopted advanced and complex solutions for the graphic industry.

Among the rumors leaked, we point out an interesting detail: the new PS4 could be based on a motion sensor, so offering the same titles today at the success of Kinect. PlayStation 4 will really be ready within 18 months?

Samsung Galaxy S2 soon with WP7

Following the success of Samsung Galaxy S2, a few days ago has passed the 3 million units sold globally, there is the remote possibility of seeing the same phone with a new look: the Windows Phone 7 Mango.

This rumor comes after a certificate issued to the Bluetooth SIG model Samsung i937 (pictured). It 'a simple intuition that the screen of the device to point to Windows Phone 7.

The hypothesis is based on the fact that the model name SGH-i937 is very similar to the American version of the model (SGH-i927). However it would not be a bad idea to see the subtle body and the big screen AMOLED Super Plus S2 with Mango.


Naturally, such a production would require that the Windows Phone to be replaced with a chipset Qualcomm Snapdragon, but this is an easy problem to remedy.

We hope that Samsung does not leave this mystery unsolved for a long time and reveal the next WP7 smartphone as soon as possible.
