...first thing you notice is how much of the PSP's six and a half inch width is taken up by the surprisingly wide (4.3 inches), cinema-style screen.

The controls mimic those of the PlayStation home systems, with four input buttons on the right, a directional pad on the left, and two "shoulder" buttons on the top. It also has a neat little analog "stick," like the kind in laptops, which...

Unbelievable stuff to dance to. My band, Blanks, just recorded a bunch of demos over break, so I’ve been playing those a lot, trying to flesh them out in my head...
...takes the idea of conventional cathode-ray-tube televisions and miniaturizes it: instead of one big electron gun exciting all the phosphors on a screen in sequence, millions of little electrical nodes do the same thing simultaneously. The result is picture contrast and response time that outstrip plasma and LCD with a much lower power drain. Toshiba says that production costs over time could make SED TVs relatively affordable, but the first, a big-screen set scheduled for launch this year, will cost a wheelbarrow of cash filled to an as-yet-undisclosed height...
