Yes for those of you who are wondering if i made a typo or not, 1.1.5 is out. Right now, it is unclear on what 1.1.5 brings to the iPod Tocuh/iPhone, but this firmware is for you if you haven't gotten 2.0. But becareful what you do, this firmware might not be jailbreakable and if it is some Jailbroken apps might not work. Download at your own risk.

Here are a few pictures of the newly announced Xbox 360 Dashboard, set to debut on a console near you this Fall:

One word-wow

After spending 2 days with the much anticipated 2.0, I can’t even begin to think of why I even hesitated. 2.0 ads much anticipated features such as the App Store as well as the "Bulk Delete and Move" feature in the Mail section. What else? – Push Email, Calendar, and Contacts. So many big features were added that the little add-ons get over looked. Two of my favorite is the search while you type and now it displays the last digit you type in passwords (no more screw ups!). Yes, those are minor and seem unimportant, but they are nifty in getting things done on the go.

App Store: If apple has EVER done anything right then it is this. The app store works flawlessly and is a much needed improvement compared to the "Installer" app on Jailbroken iPods. No more soft reboots after every app you install is always a good thing. Yes, Apple does charge you for some apps, but a ton are great and even free.

Top 3 Free Apps I have and enjoy:

• Remote: Apple did another thing great? Yes sir! Controlling your iTunes throughout your house is simply amazing. Be sure to be on the same router though; It won’t work without that.

• AIM: It’s great. It’s fast. Its fun to use. It works just like you would imagine- IM people and get a response instantly. No delay, works just like if you were on the computer!

• Myspace Mobile App: Myspace is great. Everybody (mostly) has one. Going to the web page takes forever and a half though on the Touch/iPhone. Now you can message people, comment people, and even add photos! his app provides an easy and effective way to get your myspace accessible anywhere!

Push Mail, Calendar, and Contacts: The Pricing of Mobile Me is a joke! $99…i think not. This proves Steve Jobs wants gold Toilet Seat. Instead, for email, I used Yahoo! Yahoo! has been doing push email since day one and it works (for some users…still reported bugs for other)!

Saving Pictures from the Web: One feature I missed most was not being able to save pictures off the internet. You would have to download it from your desktop and then sync it to your ipod. It actually took to long for my liking so that was something that was not done often in my house. Now Apple made things easier!

Bottom Line: Would I upgrade again and lose the Installer and the glory of Jailbroken?-Yes. I feel like I just bought a new ipod and I used it more in the past 2 days since the day I brought it home from the hospital…I mean circuit city. Also, knowing the 2.0 Jailbreaker is just around the corner, I can have the best of both worlds.

Sony has released PSP Firmware 4.05 to the public.  Not much is known about this firmware, besides the obvious added visualizers.  Check it out:

Here are the changes:

*Added new visualization effect under [Music]. 

Slim-only features: 

* Up to 8 programs may now be scheduled for record using the One-segment TV Tuner (Japanese version only)

It looks like there is even more evidence in support of a Halo game being announced at Microsofts forthcoming E3 press conference.  With only a few hours to go, we'll just have to wait and see:

So it's finally here, the 2008 E3 Media & Business Summit. Today is the day. It will last until the 16th. But what can you expect for the next few days? Well, for starters, you won't here anything today about Sony. Microsoft and Electronic Arts will be dishing it out at 10:30 am PT / 1:30 pm ET and 3:00 pm PT / 6:00 pm ET respectfully. But tomorrow on the 15th, we'll see what Sony brings to the table.

For the PS3, you may hear new information about games like God of War III or possibly Heavenly Sword 2, but don't hold your breath on the second one. You may also hear about future firmware expectations as well as coverage on the new 2.41 firmware. If I had to put my money where my mouth is, I'd say Sony will also discuss the "Greatest Hits" collection. Japan already has it, and Europe is getting it soon, so it seems like a worthy mention.

For the PSP developments, things are very up-in-air. I think we will definitely be hearing about a Patapon 2 and/or Loco Roco 2 in the works since Sony wants to show it cares about UMD sales.I think we'll also hear big developments from Ubisoft. They are planning to release a whopping 12 PSP titles this fiscal year, and so far these have remained secret. Rayman is expected, but what else? I think we're going to find out! I also expect that Sony will talk more about downloadable content. Sony seems like they are aiming to make the PS Store accessible directly from the PSP itself instead of only on computer. It would be interesting if Sony revealed a "PSP Trophy" system similar to PS3 Trophies and Xbox Achievements, but that's not likely. Lastly, I'm wondering how Sony plans to market the PSP through the holiday season. New colors, bundles, accessories? I guess we'll have to wait until the 14th! Gamespot will have live coverage here, so enjoy!

The new hotly anticipated "trophy-type" accomplishments system and in-game XMB were added to the 2.40 firmware. However, as most of you know, 2.40 was pulled rather quickly and replaced with 2.41 due to reports of system failures and similar crashes. I've been trying to search for video of these failures or photographs but I haven't seen anything reliable. It seems that, at least for the most part, these reports of system failure and crashing have been blown widely out of proportion. It seems that these issues, whether real or not, are completely resolved in the 2.41 firmware release, so don't believe the rumors! And if you DO have video or picture evidence of these crashes, let us know with a comment. Until then, start "leveling up" – PS3 style, and don't spend too much time worrying about crashes.
