Acer's Jim Wong has confirmed (at Computex) that Acer will launch their first Android-based netbook in Q3 of this year. I'm hoping that it's slightly cheaper than netbooks nowadays because he also hinted that Windows XP adds around $25 USD to the base price. The Android netbooks will basically have the same internal specs that all the netbooks nowadays have, but the focus here is on the OS itself. So, like I said, expect one in Q3 and I'll make sure to have more information about it when it is announced.

Due to the Nintendo Wii's success with their motion-sensing controller, Microsoft announced their full-body motion sensing unit yesterday. Now Sony is also stepping into the same battlefield with their announcement of their own motion-sensing controller. "The prototype looks like a wand with a color-changing ball on top. It's designed to work in conjunction with the PlayStation Eye, with the wand overlaid on-screen with a weapon or tool." Sony also announced that this controller is targeted for a Spring 2010 launch, but they revealed no pricing on the controller.

This is a dislike for me. Huge, huge dislike. Motion-sensing controllers are just not my thing, too kiddish.
