Yesterday, Microsoft announced that social networking sites Facebook and Twitter will be coming out this year; it'll be free to Gold Members and on a "free trial" for Silver Members. Well, Sony wasn't going to take this lying down. Sony has just hinted - or actually bluntly gone out and said - that social networking features will be implemented into the PS3. In the interview, they also went on to say that Facebook will be one of the "popular sites" involved. In related news, if it hits the PS3 it'll probably be free - unlike for the 360. By the way, Sony just reiterated what we heard back in April.

Sony is planning on implementing additional “social networking features” into the platform. Financial Times’ write-up mentions a possible “tie-up with popular sites such as Facebook,”

Like we already knew yesterday, China Unicom has announced that they will be selling the iPhone 3G in Q4 of this year - October if we're listening correctly. As a part of the agreement, China Unicom will be selling the iPhone for the next 3 years, in which Apple will get even richer. China Unicom will be offering two different models of the iPhone 3G, but neither Apple nor China Unicom will unveil the full spec sheet of the smartphone. Of course, WiFi will be absent. The price hasn't been mentioned, but you should probably wait for it if you live in China.
