Alienware Futuristic Android Phone
We all know the mighty and powerful computers from Alienware, featuring galactic designs and housing muscular hardware. The same shape was inspiring Dell and Alienware to create this alien phone concept, running Android OS under an impressive module with blue glowing grill and sliding mechanism. In the light of recent impacts, the Alienware handset concept has a sensitive touch keypad and joystick, for easy navigation. I wonder if this phone will be able to connect carriers in other galaxies.

Wal-Mart Votes For Blue-Ray Exclusively
Wal-Mart has decided to join Best Buy. The company officially confirmed it will promote the Blue-Ray format, exclusively. The biggest retailer, has started phasing out HD-DVD products and expects to finish the rearrangements by June. This move is probably the straw that broke the camel’s back and we’re expecting Toshiba to announce the death of the HD-DVD format in the upcoming weeks. Wal-Mart’s decision is second to Netflix and Best Buy, that already announced the preferment of Blue-Ray products, believing they are the real winners. I guess we shall see more retailers joining this act, making it unanimously.
Update: Sooner than we’ve expected, Toshiba is officially shutting down its HD-DVD production and closing the Aomori Prefecture perimeter in Japan. A statement is expected to be given soon.

Sony PS3 Might Get Messaging Capabilities
This mysterious teaser snappily appeared on PS3 official site for a very short time, alluding messaging capabilities support for the game console. If this info is real, and we assume it is, PS3 users finally get voice and video chat services, allowing them to connect with their friends whenever they pop up online or during a game. The sneaky image reads “Talk to others during game play, say hello anytime you’re online, or have a video chat with an Eye camera; USB Camera or headset.” Hopefully, Sony is going to embed the messaging services in the next firmware update, so here’s a very good reason to anticipate the next version.
