Playstation Suite

Anyone following the Sony liveblog from Engadget? I really recommend you guys check it out, as there are some things being announced which are going to impact Android in amazing ways.
http://www.engadget.com/liveblog/live-from-sonys-tokyo-event/
Update: Basically, Sony just dropped a bombshell that brought an amazing amount of games to Android, obviously to compete against both Windows Phone 7 having Xbox integration and against Apple's formidable App Store. How, UNLIKE Sony to be thinking ahead.

What I am really wondering is if any current generation devices are going to get this. On one hand they say its hardware nuetral, but they also said that they are going to:
perform content quality testing on devices to ensure the quality of playback.

What if this was the new Sprint device being announced on the 7th? I'm crossing my fingers!

Well, IIRC our phone is more powerful than the Xperia Play, so we should have nothing to fear, right?

We need GB! But other than that... I don't see why we wouldn't get it, pending an upgrade to 2.3.

I'm sure we will get it, 2 years from now when the 2.3 update comes out... :/

This has the potential to be enormous for Android, and for handheld gaming in general. The only concerns I have are:
1) The number of handsets that will have access, and if Cyanogenmod will count among them.
2) Piracy. As rampant as it was on the PSP and NDS (and yes, it was rampant), there is no doubt pressure within SCEA to take more advanced measures in combatting it. Android isn't the most securable platform at the moment (see: Netflix), and though I too am weak to 'unlimited' trial periods on games (hah), for this to really drive Android, it NEEDS to be profitable.
Hopefully the cost of games will be more in line with existing digital downloads than with past off-the-shelf prices.

I think it's great the Sony is supporting Android to such a degree. But, the PSX emulator is already out in the market. It's been out for quite some time now. Some of the roms don't work though. Hopefully, with official Sony support, all of the roms will work.

I would buy an official psx emu straigh from sony than anyone made by a third party (I don't mean offense, I have the emulator and enjoy), even though I paid for one already. I'd even buy the games straight from the sony store if they're priced good enough

PSx emulator is not hardware accelerated. You can be sure than an official emulator will be.

Very cool. Hopefully sony also has a controller peripheral in the works as well. Maybe some PS3 integration as too.

+1 to that ..... I'm sure there'll be an unofficial GB 2.3 soon, so we should be able to have if we really want it

WM7 on Atrix?

I've searched, but haven't yet found a solution. Is there any way of getting Windows Mobile 7 Mango on the Atrix?

Yes. Pull out the guts of your atrix and put the guts of a focus in there. FINISH HIM!!!
I voided my warranty and your mum.

Well that certainly made me laugh

Can I ask seriously why would you want to go from open source to so locked down you can't even wipe your butt without bill gates' permission??? My son has a wm7 phone and there is absolutely crap apps, no true personalization options (ringtones, themes). Android is the future, that's why apple and Microsoft are trying to stop google in court.

AFAIK the only non-WP7 phone to run WP7 is the HTC HD2, and I belive thats because of similarities with the HD7. It wont run on the Atrix. Ever.

Not one person on this forum would Ever put WP7 on this phone. So asking is slightly funny to say the least. No one who owns an Android would go through the hassle of putting dated crap software on their fast running Android Phone. It would be like Apple coming out and saying Hey by the way we are going to load all of our computers with Windows Vista from now on lmao.

Huh? Since when was MS trying to stop Android?

Think at this point, Android is to Microsoft as Halo/Gears is to Microsoft..... one massive cash cow.

My Dell Venue Pro runs nearly just as smooth and fast as my OC Atrix. I know WP7 will never run on this (and I don't want it to), but it's not that bad really and yes you can load ringtones and notifications thru Zune but it's a pain. Given all the money Microsoft is throwing at it and the fact that almost 40% of HTC devices sold are running it...it's not going anywhere and will only get better. It'll never be Android but that's kinda the point...we already have Android.
Microsoft isn't trying to stop Android...they're gonna make $480 million a year from it as is lol.

I stand corrected then. The last story I had read about was both were taking google to court. Thank you for bringing me up to date.

I would. I feel that WP7 is THE best OS out there now. Why did I not get it? Lack of apps and i caught the "flashing disease"

It would certainly be fun to try out mango on the atrix. Actually the OS is very fast and stable, but its rather imposible to make it work on a hardwarewise non-standard wp7 phone. Id say one might have more luck with win8/wp8, since that one apparently has tegra2 driver support etc.

Well many ROM junkies like myself would try it out if it was available. But I would definitely not switch to WM7 on permanent basis.
Having said that, there is to little demand and too much effort needed into porting it, so it won't be available on the atrix ever.
My ATRIX has wrote this without my consent!

*to MOD, if this thread is inappropiate, feel free to move/close/delete this. thanks

1ST!!!
Anyway, that still looks like a concept tablet, and most likely not going to be actually released...
Thanks for sharing though, that is surely something of the future hahaha

Stop saying 1st it's very annoying!
Also you never seem to contribute much just post for the sake of it.
If you even read the link it's something someone has done just for fun and not a "concept that will never be released"

How old are you? 5? This isn't youtube...being first doesn't make you the cool guy, it makes you look like an immature baby.
OP:Cool find! I can see that this will become standard soon with TVs running Android, it's bound to happen sooner or later.

I just received an update on Flash 11. So It might be the last

Hmm, I wonder if Google might change it's mind about flash now, they might go back with Apple and Microsoft and replace flash
Sent from my Synergized Evo with aggressive Freedom using the XDA app

Flash is old hat though....
Technology is moving forward. We have things like HTML5 replacing the need for flash.
Flash is slow, clunky, and a battery and resource hog. Good riddance!

I dunno, I personally love having flash. I like my web pages to render exactly like a desktop, cuz my phone IS my desktop.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

I have always hated Flash but it's the best we have and everyone uses it unfortunately. Losing this ability on our phones is a bad thing no matter how you slice it. If we had something better that was more universal that's a different story but we don't.

Do u think its possible Google has something up their sleeve. They have to realize how many people bought android because of flash. I would hope so at least

It does not....No one I know bought an Android for the sole reason that it plays Flash, and if anyone did, they're an idiot. I bought one because I could customize it, root it, and a boatload of other things that I can't do with an iPhone. HTML5 is way better than Flash anyway. We'll all be better off because of this.

^^^^^^^^^
Ummm, actually, Flash is one of the main things I was excited about when I moved to android on June 4th 2010 (evo launch).
I came from WinMo. The skyfire browser on WinMo supported flash, and finally provided a desktop experience on my phone.
Reading the comments on the article I linked to seemed to support the argument that HTML5 could be great, if it was developed a lot further than its current state. Which means, as OstrichSak said, what until then?
And hopefully google DOES have something up their sleeve

It's not like it's disappearing out of thin air tomorrow.....They'll still use it until HTML5 becomes the standard.

Funny choice of words because they will still be using AIR. lol
They aren't supporting mobile flash "in browser". But they are still supporting flash on mobile devices via AIR.

What the Atrix 4G first promised, it looks like the folks at Canonical may deliver.

Ubuntu's full desktop OS coming to multi-core Android devices
What the Atrix 4G first promised, it looks like the folks at Canonical may deliver. Think back to CES 2011, when Motorola showed us a future where our phone was the only computing device we would need -- only to leave us wanting when its webtop app didn't deliver the requisite functionality for such a future. Well, it turns out Ubuntu now runs on multi-core Android devices and your handset can grant a full desktop experience when docked with a display and a keyboard. It's a customized version of Ubuntu that plays nice with Android, the two OS's sharing data and services while running simultaneously. So, you can still access telephony and texts from the Ubuntu environment while enjoying all the computing capabilities it has to offer, including: Ubuntu TV, virtualization tools for running Windows applications, desktop web browsers, and Ubuntu apps built for ARM. It isn't clear exactly what hardware you'll need to run Ubuntu on a handset, but Canonical has said it works on multi-core devices with HDMI and USB connections.

I heard from my boss that only HTC and motorola are trying to get it for now, thats why i said that, because i dont even think about motorola anymore, they make everything good lool bad. Heard that from a lot of android users, is not just my opinion.
So, agree? Good! Doesnt? ignore my post, better stop a fight before starts than stop one already happening.
