New video shows legit-looking PlayStation phone in action

By Molly McHugh December 3, 2010

After Engadget released a less-than convincing video of the alleged PlayStation phone earlier this week, the site is following up with a much more thorough look. The Zeus (as it’s being called) appears to be running Android Gingerbread (no surprise there), and the hardware also features a PlayStation icon that is never pressed in the demo. The video also fails to provide a look at the device playing any games either, but the icon at least makes us assume it will run PlayStation games.

You do get a good peak at the home screen along with the phone’s nice, wide display, as well as an idea of how responsive the phone is (aside from a little lagging, it looks pretty quick).

Sony’s CEO recently alluded to the device’s introduction, which could be only a few months away.

Sony has turned a new page in its smartphone history. The company has finally taken the wraps off its latest and greatest smartphone, the Xperia XZ2.

Finding new apps on the Google Play Store can be a daunting task. Even though the storefront has gone through numerous iterations over the past several years, the abundance of options can still make it tough to come across something that catches your eye. Fortunately, Google is rolling out a redesigned Editors' Choice section today, July 19, that delivers more curated recommendations to users in simple, brief packages.

There are a couple app guides already live, like the five essential road trip apps, or the best apps for learning a new language. Google Play's editors have handpicked a selection of apps for a variety of categories, and each one is accompanied by a quick blurb as well as three standout features. These pages are available on both mobile and desktop versions of the store, and are currently live in Australia, Canada, Great Britain, Japan, South Korea, and the United States, with other regions to follow soon.
