Today Opera release Opera Mini 5 beta for Android and its available in the Android Market right now. It features the same addition such as tabbed browsing, dialer bookmark home screen and of course faster page loading that Windows Mobile, Blackberry and iPhone versions currently have now.  Check out the screenshots an first impressions inside.

Users of Windows Mobile and Blackberry are familiar with Opera Mini already and how great a mobile browser it can be. As so far the experience has been good for most of the sites I went to.

However, BWOne.com full site doesn’t render fully in Opera Mini but it does work the mobile page just fine. 

Currently there is no multi-touch capabilities and there is no word if those will come when more devices have Android 2.1 on theme. The dialer for your favorite pages looks great and the way you switch tabs has a nice fluid animation on it. 

Look for a video review soon.

At GDC 2010 Sony officially announces their long developed motion controller technology now call the PlayStation Move. The new platform will off developers similar motion controller technology that the Nintendo Wii offers with the PS3. 

The system will use the PlayStastion Eye to track  your movement with the wand and you will be able to use the subcontroller for your analog and d-pad movements.  Sony says that this will all be included in the starter kit with a game for “under $100.”  There is no official word on exact release date or price just yet. 

This new platform gives Sony a new set of developers to access but some feel such at Thunder E from BooredAtWork that this may be too little too late for Sony. I do somewhat agree with him because I feel Sony will have an uphill battle to clime with the the PlayStation Move and will need to make a big splash if the expect to put a dent in the market.

Klipsch has taken the modern idea of a home audio system and simplified it with a revolutionary idea of taking the wires out and the traditional speaker box and putting them in one unit that fits in a standard light bulb socket which brings the idea of surround sound to a new level.  Klipsch President Paul Jacobs says “if you can screw a light bulb in, you are 75% there in setting up our system.”

The system can fit into a standard lamp or a 5-6 inch can light spot and uses LED for lighting which lasts forever. You can hook up to 8 of these in your house as simple as that and the audio quality is fantastic. Its a ture wireless system and set not to interfere with any other wireless frequencies in your house. Check out the full video below and the full stats.

Windows 7 Phone 7 offers a new way of integrating several features and services into just a few central areas to access and better manage.  Theses areas are called Hubs. The Hubs are broken down into 5 groups,  People, Pictures, Office, Music+Video and Games. These groupings allow much better management on your phone. For example the People Hub will have your recent contacts, your info and a tab for all your social networking streams. The picture tab will have all of your photos and a social network stream as well with phone and will have direct Facebook upload capabilities. Check the pictures inside.
