This summer, drive your kids to distraction with the latest in travel entertainment technology. Portable DVD players, MP3 players, headphones and add-on LCD display screens make summer car trips more peaceful. Philips Electronics has an extensive line of portable entertainment systems designed to go wherever you go.
“Philips offers a wide variety of portable entertainment options for as little as $49.95 that are perfect for families on the go,” says Court Elliott of Philips Electronics. “With Philips technology in hand, music and movies can easily move from the house to the car, and into the cottage. Our leading edge design provides top quality sound, function and reliability.”
Not just for long car trips, Philips portable speakers and iPod docking entertainment systems deliver exquisite sound quality for those summer parties, whether they're indoors or outside. Philip GoGear audio and video players also offer weekend warriors a seamless escape, leaving listeners to enjoy tranquility or seamlessly manage their content from up north or in transit.

The solution can be found in a universal USB charger, a unique hybrid product that allows portable electronic devices to be conveniently charged by a single charger, or re-energized by a handy back-up power pack.
And to keep your gadgets going on those super long trips, you can get up to 60 hours of back-up energy from a unit barely bigger than a deck of cards. The rechargeable power pack will energize all your portable electronic devices – even your laptop – without having to plug it in. It's compatible convenience for the wise weekender

Sony NGP news: optional 3G, physical game cards, 4-5 hrs battery
Sony hasn’t revealed any info on battery life and pricing, but Ars Technica pulled together a number of articles and quotes, pointing toward battery life that is about equal to the original PSP. Another source said it would be around 4-5 hours–fairly low for a handheld game machine. Hopefully the final unit will attain those stats.
Though the system will be released in at least one territory by the end of 2011, price is another mystery. The Nintendo 3DS is Nintendo’s most expensive gaming system to date at $250. It’s estimated that the NGP will cost at least as much, but likely much more. $250 was the original price of the PSP, but at the time it was $100 more expensive than the $150 Nintendo DS. The only thing we do know: executives have confirmed that it won’t be as expensive as the $600 PS3 was when it launched

NGP/PSP 2 is gonna be increadibly expensive
1. Sony wants to undercut the 3DS's sales - so they will want to have a $299 sku available, if not at launch then soon after. [b]The PSP2 honestly shouldn't cost that much to manufacture. Apparently the iPad cost around $259 to manufacture (way back in April of last year) and it has a much more expensive screen ($97 each) and an extremely large very expensive battery as well as 16gbs of flash storage which isn't cheap either. Back in April of last year, the cpu and gpu in the iPad were pretty much cutting edge. The PSP2 will in all likelihood cost Sony less than that to manufacture.[/b]
http://www.electronista.com/articles/10/04/07/apple.still.keeps.margins.on.tablet.costs/
2. At the same time, Sony does want to recoup some of the R&D costs early, so there will be a premium $399 sku at launch, and it will almost certainly be manufactured at much larger quantities than the $299 sku until supply surpasses demand. Why should Sony sell the bulk of the PSP2's for $299 at launch when the product will be in very high demand and due to shortages, most of those sold will wind up on ebay anyways at a significant mark up?
3.Both skus will come bundled with a voucher for a free Sony movie download, a free ps1 game download, and a free psp/psn game download from sony's playstation store. Why? Because it's a cheap way to get people used to the idea of downloading ps1 and psp games, and movies onto the device. The first online purchase is always the hardest one, because people are hesistant to take that first step. By offering the first download for free, Sony can get a lot of people use to idea of purchasing digital content, and particularly their favorite ps1 and psp games and hope that people keep it up. At the same time, it will go further in justifying the $50 or $150 premium price over the 3BS.
Based on these factors, I forsee $299 sku with a wifi only PSP2 and 4gbs of flash, and a $399 premium sku with a 3g/4g PSP2 and 8gbs of flash.
The cheap $299 model will be pushed out in very very limited quantities, until supply outstrips demand. It's there initially just as a bullet point to convince people not to buy a 3DS over christmas, and instead lay down an extra $50 to get a real handheld.
Sony will want to manufacture and sell mostly $399 models over christmas when they likely won't be able to produce the consoles fast enough. So good luck finding the $299 version unless you preorder it early

Low-level Embedded Graphical Library
NexGenGRAPH is a basic graphical library specifically designed for embedded environments. It performs common graphical operations, such as plotting pixels, lines, boxes, and circles, and drawing bitmaps and images. To enable displaying customisable fonts, a font manager is provided.
To support different screen resolution modes, NexGenGRAPH relies on a video driver. It manages the graphical controller and the frame buffer, using the common functions offered by the library. Accelerated operations are supported on case-by-case basis, depending on the video controller features.
NexGenGRAPH exports all its dependencies to NexGenOS®, including the input drivers, and can thus easily be ported to a new architecture simply by writing a new video driver.
NexGenGRAPH also includes GIF and JPEG decoders that process the image decoding on the fly. This feature is particulary useful

How Sony Can Make Their Next Gen Portable A Must Buy
from - http://kotaku.com/5745921/how-sony-can-make-their-next-gen-portable-a-must-buy
Today, Sony is on the handheld gaming campaign trail, preparing for us to vote with our dollars this fall. Should you buy an NGP — the successor to the PSP — in late 2011?
It depends on whether Sony finally gets its PSP line right, if Sony's prose matches its poetry.
__ Get Rid Of Noisy Disc Drive
__ Add Touchscreen To Keep Up With Times
__ Make Sure It Is Smaller Than A Loaf of (French) Bread
__ Improve Wireless Connectivity
__ Add Cameras
__ Throw In At Least One Motion Sensor
__ Oh, And Make Sure It's More Powerful Than Whatever Weird Thing Nintendo Is Making
It's all so wonderful. They even added things we didn't know we needed, like a built-in compass and extra touch panels on the device's backside.

The Promise
This past week, we've seen the new PSP, the NGP, in action. We've seen the specs. We've even been able to imagine the invisible checklist of problems with the original PSP that Sony people must have had handy as they ticked them off and made the NGP:
__ Add Second Analog Stick__ Get Rid Of Noisy Disc Drive
__ Add Touchscreen To Keep Up With Times
__ Make Sure It Is Smaller Than A Loaf of (French) Bread
__ Improve Wireless Connectivity
__ Add Cameras
__ Throw In At Least One Motion Sensor
__ Oh, And Make Sure It's More Powerful Than Whatever Weird Thing Nintendo Is Making
It's all so wonderful. They even added things we didn't know we needed, like a built-in compass and extra touch panels on the device's backside.
Sony's unveiling of their next big machine was as impressive as… their last one. Their last one happened in 2005, when they showed the world the PlayStation 3, a machine that had a boomerang-shaped controller, output graphics onto two HDTVs at the same time and ran, as those of us who attended the Electronics Entertainment Expo Sony briefing in May of that year saw, the best-looking video games we've still ever seen
