o Sony to Begin Selling New Smaller PlayStation 2 Design on Nov. 1

Tokyo -- Confirming earlier reports, Sony Computer Entertainment announced on Tuesday that it will release a redesigned version of its PlayStation 2 console that is one-fourth the size and weighs half as much as its 72 million unit-selling predecessor. The new device, which will also feature a network adapter for online gaming as a standard feature, will launch in the U.S. on Nov. 1 with a $149 price tag. The new PlayStation 2 also goes on sale in Europe on Nov. 1 and in Japan on Nov. 3. "The introduction of the new PlayStation 2 is part of our long-term vision for the platform," said Jack Tretton, executive vice president, Sony Computer Entertainment America. "We are pleased to bring the sleek, redesigned product to market in time for the holiday season, and expect consumer enthusiasm for the new model to translate into robust sales."

o Nintendo to Release $149 DS Handheld in U.S. on Nov. 21

Redmond, Wash. -- Japanese video game maker Nintendo announced on Tuesday that it will release its new dual-screened handheld video game console, the Nintendo DS, in the U.S. on Nov. 21 with a $149 price tag. The device will also be released in Japan on Dec. 2. The new handheld from Nintendo will feature wireless multiplayer gaming and a voice recognition system, and one of the screens will allow for touch input using a stylus. Nintendo said that it is developing 20 titles in-house for the device, and that more than 100 companies have signed on to develop for the DS; the device can also play the 550 titles available for Nintendo's Game Boy Advance SP handheld. The DS will ship with "PictoChat," an application that allows DS owners to write messages or draw pictures with an on-screen keyboard or the stylus and send them wirelessly to other DS users nearby.

o Electronics Makers Propose Single Remote for All Networked Home Devices

Washington -- The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), a trade group made up of many of the world's electronic device makers, has published a new standard that aims to allow any networked entertainment device in the home to be controlled through a TV screen with a single remote control. The CEA-2027 standard would support devices like home stereos, digital video recorders and PCs, and would allow for full control of each device's special functions from the main TV screen interface. "This standard will help ensure that TVs in the future continue to add value to consumers' viewing experience beyond simply displaying a picture and that TVs remain the intelligent point of control for home entertainment," said CEA chief executive Gary Shapiro.

o Report: Digital TV Transition Has Long Way to Go

Washington -- A report from the Digital Transition Coalition (DTC), a coalition of consumer and taxpayer groups and technology firms, said on Tuesday that the country's transition to digital TV broadcasting is not progressing as quickly as claimed by the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB). Citing FCC and Primus Geographics data, the DTC said the transition excludes millions of Americans, especially in rural areas, and notes that 36% of households currently cannot receive digital service from at least one network (i.e. ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC). Additionally, over 5 million households (5.1%) can't get any network digital service at all. "The proportion of unserved households is even more alarming in the most sparsely populated states -- typically states with a disproportionate number of rural households," the DTC wrote in a letter to the FCC. "In the 10 states with the fewest households, a full 74.2% of these households are unserved by at least one of their local network stations. These maps and data thus illustrate graphically the distance that still needs to be traversed to achieve the goals of the DTV transition."

o Chipmaker Broadcom to Acquire U.K. Wireless Video Firm Alphamosaic

Cambridge, England -- Broadcom Corp., a communications chip vendor based in Irvine, California, announced on Tuesday that it has agreed to pay $127 million in cash and shares for privately held Alphamosaic Ltd., a U.K.-based multimedia chip developer for cell phone makers. Broadcom said it made the acquisition in order to strengthen its mobile product portfolio and allow it to provide complete reference designs for multimedia mobile phone platforms. "Broadcom's impressive wireless product portfolio is a perfect complement to our VideoCore products, strengthening the presence of both companies in worldwide cellular markets," said Alphamosaic CEO Jalal Bagherli. Alphamosaic, which was spun out of Cambridge Consultants Ltd. in 2001, offers video optimized for wireless communications by changing picture quality according to bandwidth.

"I hope there will be a series of creative, interesting and different ways that this material will be utilized by all kinds of different folks," Greenwald told Wired News. "And I look forward to seeing what comes out of it. And toward that end, the possibilities are very exciting as to what people will do, because there are no limits other than creativity."
