Official image of Zune HD's marketplace released
The Zune HD is Microsoft's next big thing when it comes to mobile
media, and aims to be a direct competitor to Apple's iPod touch line.
To aid in the battle against Apple's current dominance, Microsoft will
be offering a marketplace, as you may know, and a few days ago, an
official image of it has been released.
It
comes to us from 'fitret', who's the Xbox 360 Program Manager, but
unfortunately doesn't offer much detail. We've included the image below
for you to inspect, but there's also the direct link above. As you can
see, it fits in nicely with the rest of the Zune UI; no doubt now that
this one has been released, there will be more to come for those with a
hunger for Zune details. Let us know what you think below.

PSP2 to be based on iPhone-esque PowerVR GPU, rival original Xbox in power?
If Sony's PSPgo was some halfhearted attempt to quell incessant PSP2 rumoring (and our favorite PSP2 mockup render, above), it certainly doesn't seem to have worked. The new rumor out and about is that the inevitable PSP2 will harbor a PowerVR GPU along the lines of what's present in the new iPhone 3GS. The SGX543MP cited has four cores, with a rating of 133 million polygons per second at the low-end 200MHz mode that seems likely for portable use. GamesIndustry.biz calls this a "ballpark match" for the original Xbox, with some additional Dreamcast rendering enhancements for avoiding wasting time on hidden elements in a scene. They also point out that Imagination Technologies calls the chip a GP-GPU, capable of handling computing tasks in addition to graphics, and potentially giving the PSP2 the power savings of not needing a separate CPU to operate. Sure, it's all a difficult to pin down rumor at the moment, but if anything these sort of specs show what's possible for a new generation of handheld gaming when the likes of Sony and Nintendo are ready to give it to us.

Apple 3GS Cost $179 To Build, Sells For $199
In building the iPhone 3G S, Apple managed to punch up the product line without spending much more on components, a teardown analysis showed.
Researcher iSuppli found that the cost of components and other other materials for Apple's latest smartphone was $172.46. Add the manufacturing expense of $6.50, and the total is $178.96, or a mere $4.63 more than the older generation iPhone 3G.

Teardown TV takes a look inside the guts of the new Blackberry Bold -- Research In Motion (NSDQ: RIMM)'s newest smartphone.ISuppli's cost estimate does not include other costs associated with a product, such as marketing, distribution and the accessories bundled with the device. Nevertheless, the teardown indicates that Apple was able to boost the iPhone's performance without dramatically increasing expenses.
The new, low-end iPhone offers double the memory of last year's low-end model, without costing Apple much more to make. ISuppli conducted its teardown on the entry-level 16 GB version of the iPhone 3G S, comparing it to the low-end 8 GB iPhone 3G based on pricing in July 2008. AT&T (NYSE: T), the exclusive iPhone carrier in the United States, is offering the latest iPhone for as low as $199 with a two-year data contract, the same deal as with the older product when it first launched. AT&T today is offering the older phone with a contract for $99.
Without a service contract, the iPhone 3G S costs $599, which was also the original price for the iPhone 3G. But despite the price similarities, there are differences in the technology.
Features unique to the iPhone 3G S include video capture, an autofocus 3 megapixel camera, versus a 2 megapixel camera in the older iPhone, and a built-in digital compass. Aside from these extras, the hardware is not much different, iSuppli said.
"From a component and design perspective, there's also a great deal of similarity between the 3G and the 3G S," iSuppli teardown analyst Andrew Rassweiler said in a statement released Wednesday. "By leveraging this commonality to optimize materials costs, and taking advantage of price erosion in the electronic component marketplace, Apple can provide a higher-performing product with more memory and features at only a slightly higher materials and manufacturing cost."
One of the most noteworthy hardware changes is the use of a Broadcomm single-chip Bluetooth/FM/WLAN device. This component represents the industry trend of integrating more functionality into one chip. The iPhone 3G used two chips to implement the same functions.
Making its debut in the iPhone is Dialog Semiconductor's power management integrated circuit. To implement the digital compass, Apple added AKM Semiconductor's electronic compass and STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM)' accelerometer.
Toshiba scored the biggest single design win in the iPhone 3G S with its 16 GB multi-level cell NAND flash memory device, which at $24 is the third most expensive component, after the display module and the touch-screen assembly, iSuppli said. However, Apple is likely to shop around and get the same memory part from other suppliers, most notably Samsung Electronics.
Samsung maintained its position as the supplier of the iPhone's applications processor, the fourth most expensive component. The processor plays a key role in the iPhone 3G S's faster performance over its predecessor. Where the 3G used an ARM RISC microprocessor with 400 MHz clock speed, the 3G S uses a 600 MHz version.

Sony exec admits "certain premium" associated with PSPgo
Michael Pachter retracted one of the most correct statements he's ever made: the PSP Go is a "rip off" for consumers. The PSP Go takes away the expensive-to-manufacture UMD drive and replaces it with cheap flash memory -- and yet it still costs more than the current PSP-3000. Fun fact: You can buy a standard PSP and 16GB Memory Stick Duo Pro right now for less than a PSP Go.
Sure, the new form factor looks nice, but Sony should have no manufacturing costs to pass down to the consumer. MCV asked SCEE's Andrew House if R&D or retailer markups were the reason behind PSP Go's high price. "Those aren't the factors," House admitted. "When you introduce a new piece of hardware you have the opportunity to say there is a certain premium that is associated with it, and we took that into account."
Essentially, House is admitting you can charge more for technology when it's new. It's unsurprising, but it certainly leaves a bad taste knowing Sony can easily charge less for the PSP Go. Perhaps Sony will follow the iPhone's footsteps and suddenly drop the price of the PSP weeks after early adopters pay their "premium" price.
