Although the Xbox 360 is nearing 5 years in age, it could still be a number of years before the next generation games console arrives.

The information comes from Xbox UK director Stephen McGill who said… “Well this generation is here for a long, long time,” McGill said. “I think there’s still a lot of legs left with the Xbox 360, so we’re years away from contemplating what comes next.” [Read more…]

NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang has announced that the Tegra 3 SOC is almost ready and that work has already started on the Tegra 4 SOC.

It is now expected that NVIDIA will release a new Tegra chip each year. The main concern though is that the Tegra 2 isn’t yet really in use as much as we’d like to see it.

We have seen plenty of tablets saying they want to use the Tegra 2 although they generally haven’t launched just yet. [Read more…]

The Playstation Move went on sale last Friday. iFixit followed it’s usual tradition and decided to take it apart and have a look at what’s inside and how it all works.

The Move its self has seven buttons, a compass, gyroscope, accelerometer and vibration motor. A mixture of all these sensors allows it to be accurately tracked by the Playstation and allows a different way of interacting with games.

The Playstation Move its self is easy to take apart according to iFixit and they ended up giving it a score of 8 out of 10 with 10 being the easiest on the scale. [Read more…]

Parallels recently released Parallels Desktop 6 for Mac. A new update to the Parallels Mobile for iPad and iPhone has now been released that lets users connect up to their Windows machines direct from the iPad or iPhone.

The video below shows a demonstration of how the new update works and exactly what can be done with it. Of course there’s a small bit of lag (large lag in some cases when on slow networks), but overall it looks to be quite impressive.

Unfortunately the previous versions of Parallels Mobile were more restricted and hence, only a two start rating is given for the app at the moment. Now that more control has been given to users, we expect to see the star rating rise. [Read more…]

FaceTime currently works between iOS 4 devices that have a front facing camera only. Rumours are circulating at the moment that indicate a client for the Mac and Windows could be launching that would allow a FaceTime call from an iPhone 4, for example, to a PC.

It is expected that the Mac version would be built in to the iChat software. Although it is a rumour just now, we suspect that it could be true as Apple [AAPL] is wanting to push FaceTime a lot. By integrating with the desktop it would allow video calls to be used by more people. [Read more…]

Microsoft [MSFT] is launching a beta version of Internet Explorer 9 next week. A few days ago a video demonstration of IE 9 was uploaded to YouTube to give everyone an impression of how it will run and what it will be capable of.

The browser seen in the video (assuming it is IE 9 and not fan made) looks a little cleaner than the current version although not as clean as Google Chrome for example. [Read more…]
