Motorola CEO Outlines Future Smartphone + Android Plans
Motorola may not be my favourite phone manufacturer right now - leave that up to Samsung - but it looks like they could have an exciting future as they make a slow push towards Android. Sanjay Jha also mentioned that they will be launching "many more Android phones in Q1 2010" which is a great thing. Most of them probably won't be fit for me though because I'm only interested in the high-end phones out there; Motorola, on the other hand, is looking to create low-end Android-based smartphones in the future.

Yeah, you've heard the rumours about the Microsoft Zune Phone, but they've been denied again. This time they were denied by Microsoft's Entertainment and Devices Chief, Robbie Back, and Chief Executive, Steve Ballmer, himself. They mentioned that Microsoft "would do better" focusing on "software rather than any hardware." At this point, the Zune Phone is unlikely.

Sony Cuts PS3 Production Costs By 70%
According to Sony's CEO, Nobuyuki Oneda, the PlayStation 3 costs them 70% less than when they launched it back in 2006. This is great news for future adapters of the PS3 - myself included. Since it costs less for Sony to make the PS3, this could mean that a price cut is in the works. And, of course, there's still rumours buzzing around about the PS3 Slim - like it hitting Amazon. We'll have to see what Sony does to lure some more users in the future.
