Mobile gaming has always had the handicap of having to try and live up to the graphical power of their bigger console brothers. Some games have tried and failed to get these good graphics, others have changed the rules to more stylized looks so all the processing power doesn't have to go to the graphics. 

But coming down the road, NVIDIA hopes to change all that with their "Kal-El" processors. The company has aspirations to produce the world's first quad-core mobile processor to give mobile games a leg up in the mobile department. Hit the break for more details and some very impressive video demos.

Sony is trying to crack this ever expanding mobile market that is quickly meshing into a gaming platform of it's own. They are bringing the Xperia Play to bare in this new market and with the phone launching on the 26 the details have been finalized and the hardware is ready. Let's walk through the details of this phone to see if it's worth buying. 

Let's start with the insides since that's where all the magic happens. The phone is sporting a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU and an Adreno 205 GPU. Neither of these chips by themselves is terrible but if you look at the summer line up that the Play has to stack against (Droid Bionic, LG Optimus 2X, Samsung Galaxy S II and HTC's EVO 3D) it seems this phone might have waited a bit too long, all of the aforementioned phones are sporting dual core processors of varying speeds. The phone has a 1500mAh battery packed in and is stuffed full of 512 MB of ram for your apps and games to access. Hit the break to read the rest of the run down.

You guys want to see one of the slickest applications for android that have been released yet? AND it has to do with Playstation? Everyone wins.

This official Playstation application has been released in the UK but not in the US, unfortunately for Playstation, the android following don't really do exclusive releases for long. Here sits the application that allows you to keep up on all things Playstation, including your friends on your PS3. 

The first tab labled, "My PSN" allows you to see your friends list on your PS3 and check their profiles. You can even compare your trophies with theirs in a nice little user interface that tells you how much more awesome you are then they. 

There is a "News & Blog" section that keeps you up to date on Playstation information and news that is updated almost daily. The next two tabs allow you to search almost any game or piece of media that Playstation has on their servers and allows you to play trailers, get information and just read about the game in general. It's impressive.

The amount of polish that went into this app is surprising, a lot of high profile apps don't run as smoothly as this one does and I'm glad that Playstation got their game together and decided to put out a good product. Are we just gonna pretend this isn't a pretense to the Playstation Phone?

Mr. Blurry Cam is a bit of a celebrity on the internet. If theres a rumored cell phone or new prototype of a technology out there, he usually sneaks over to Youtube to ruin all the fun. One man's ruin is another man's excitement though correct? Mr. Blurry Cam seems to have captured a video of someone with the rumored and not-yet-to-be-announced Playstation phone.

Rumored to be under the Sony Ericsson name, the "Z1" or Zeus as it has been reported as is shown here in all it's Android goodness, with what looks to be at least a 4 inch screen. But upon closer inspection there is a little more reason to may-or-may-not be excited. The notification bar looks a little bit darker than the stock Android one, which is an indicator that it is running the new Android 2.3, or Gingerbread for those who haven't eaten recently. 

This may seem to be drawing a lot from a very blurry video, it's exciting nonetheless. We unfortunately do not get to see the anonymous person turn the phone sideways and show us the sexy control pad but all the front-facing buttons and the overall look of the device fit all the pictures that have been released for the device so far. Let's hope that this will be so good that it washes the terrible taste of the PSPgo from our mouths.
