[IFA 2012] Sony's Xperia V – Waterproof, LTE-Ready, Playstation Certified

Posted by Liam Spradlin in News, Sony, Xperia V

Sony, as part of a trio of new phones, today announced the Xperia V at IFA. The Xperia V carries specs similar to the newly-announced Xperia T, but has a unique twist: the device is water and dust resistant, with the ability to withstand full submersion as deep as a meter for an estimated thirty minutes.

Those who enjoy promotional videos may also be interested in seeing Sony's "Xperia – Designing out Smartphones" video, which takes a look at just how this new lineup of devices came to be.

Besides water resistance, the Xperia V carries some impressive-sounding specs, from a 13MP camera to a 4.3" HD Reality Display powered by Sony's Mobile BRAVIA Engine.

Going Indie: The Story Of Independent Android Game Development From Concept To Completion

Posted by Liam Spradlin in Android OS, Applications, Development, Games, Interviews

Last Updated: July 31st, 2012

One of the great things about Android's ecosystem is the number of indie developers who are able to enter the market successfully, providing a great product and inspiring would-be developers to join in. For many though, Android development in general is a mysterious topic. How an app or game goes from an idea to an entry in the Play Store is unknown, but (thankfully) not unknowable.

Of course, considering how major development studios bring apps to life doesn't require too much thought – major companies like EA, Disney, or Rockstar have no problem hiring designers and developers to crank out and maintain polished apps.

In a blog post this morning on the Tegra Zone, NVIDIA game us insight into a couple of new games coming to Tegra-powered devices later this year. Both games happen to be from the game studio and, unlike past THD games, are actually being ported over from the Playstation Vita.

Posted by Brian O'Toole in News, Xperia Ion (Aoba)

Back at CES in January we got a first glance at Sony's latest flagship phone, the Xperia Ion. In our time with it, the device made an impression with its 720P display and 12 megapixel camera.

The Xperia Ion is also PlayStation certified, so the SEN's selection of games will be available to you in addition to music and video.
