Is that really you iPod AV?

Err this could be fake .... What's really interesting is that the guy looks like he is rewinding using the touch screen, unless he has the hold button down why does the video keep going forward?

Seen at Gizmodo.

Microsoft Origami Gadget.

OrigamiPortal has scored an image of what may or may not be the Microsoft Origami Gadget.

The pic we have received shows a device that looks thinner than the ones shown in the Digital Kitchen video. And the UI is definitely some new handheld OS writes OrigamiPortal

In the corner of the window there is the words Alexandria. The UI components seem to emulate what has been shown so far with Windows Vista beta releases.

The one weird component is the word "podcast" on the right side tree. If this is real, would Microsoft include this by default in their menus?

PlayStation 3 delayed

Buried in a Variety piece on Sony is a small bit of the PlayStation 3 being delayed until december 2006/.

Sony's new PlayStation 3 was widely expected to be introduced this spring, but will be delayed as the company fine-tunes the chips that are crucial to the success of the console's Blu-ray function.

The PlayStation 3 --- which is being called "the poor man's Blue-ray" --- is vital to Sony's plans because it plays Blu-ray discs as well as videogames.

Sony will roll out the PS3 by year end, in time for the holidays. If PS3 "delivers what everyone thinks it will, the game is up," Stringer boasts.

Blu-ray is the system developed by Sony to view next-generation high-definition DVDs. Rival format HD DVD is championed by Toshiba. Microsoft recently joined the HD DVD camp, a move that came as its Xbox 360 videogame console is trying to grab market share from PlayStation, the industry leader.
