Sony PS3 Slim Shipping Today
Sony PS3 Slim officially will be shipping today one week earlier from it’s initially slated September 1st release. Amazon updated PS3 Slim listing to be shipping as early as tomorrow which accordingly reflected to GameStop listing.
Seemingly this is a major surprise for those willingly gamers who pre-ordered the console, but such intriguing Sony’s decision is shipping the console earlier than announced. Most likely what comes on my mind is Microsoft’s Xbox 360 price-cut which is expected to slash price of Xbox 360 Elite to $299.99. This could be Sony’s precaution to lure buyers before Xbox comes into price competition.
So far, the new Sony PS3 Slim clearly has an edge with Xbox, with cheaper price, features and slim design, plus the hype that its ‘new’. Now I don’t hear about Wii?

New Iphone App Lets You Buy Shoes
By Lisa Palladino on shopping
There's likely no end in sight to the number of iPhone apps to come. So I'm going to tell you about one more, OK? You'll thank me. Actually, thank The New York Times: Designer fashion hub Net-a-Porter.com released its iPhone application, the Net-App, in mid-July. Shoppers can browse handbags, clothes and shoes; read the site's weekly fashion stories; and make purchases. The Times noted that even though some people use their cell phones to buy virtual goods to use in mobile games or e-books to read on their phones, the masses have not shown much willingness to buy physical goods - especially expensive ones - from their cell phones. (Kind of like how early online purchases, of anything, were made by the few and the brave; now, it's second nature.)
But Net-a-Porter.com, which went live in 2000 and states it has 1.8 million visitors a month, succeeded in getting people to buy $4,000 gowns and $1,000 stilettos on the Web, so iPhone app success may be in sight. The potential for shopping on phones "is massive," said Alison Loehnis, v.p. of sales and marketing at Net-a-Porter.com, in the Times. "We feel very strongly that third-generation technology is the new shop window. No one wants to be bound to their computer anymore."
Net-a-Porter.com is not the first to offer an iPhone shopping app: there's Lucky at Your Service from Lucky magazine and ShopStyle Mobile from ShopStyle. Net-a-Porter, however, developed a tool it calls ClosetFlow, which shows users small images of new products to thumb through. Shoppers can zoom in, flip the phone to look at items from different directions, and read more detailed information about them. The shopper can add the items to a wish list to access later from a computer or buy from within the application, without opening a separate browser window.
Loehnis noted in the article: "Our customers love to shop from their homes or offices, but we want our customers to be able to shop from a cab or while waiting in line and really maximize what little free time they have."

Nimbuzz Application For Android Launches!
If you’re not satisfied with the default chat and instant messaging options in Android or 3rd party solutions on the market, you might be happy to know that Nimbuzz is now available on the Android Market. The application serves as an all-in-one Skype, MSN, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ, AIM, studiVZ, GoogleTalk, Facebook, MySpace, Jabber client and many more.
The folks at Nimbuzz told us that the Android version has some sophisticated features which they further explain in their press release / blog announcement:
The smart buddy list layout displays information in an intelligent way, combining avatar and presence information in one, with community icon and resource information (if your buddy is online on the mobile or PC) in the same line.
The time sensitive UI is a favorite. It detects how long you press on a buddy’s name. A light touch opens their profile and a stronger touch instantly starts a new chat!
Home-screen notifications alert you on the home screen of activities such as incoming chats while Nimbuzz continues to run in the background.
Clickable URLs make for a multimedia rich chat experience so you can share YouTube videos and Wikipedia information during your chat. A browser window will open from which you can seamlessly switch back and forth to Nimbuzz.
Auto reconnect is also very useful! For example, I often leave Nimbuzz running in the background while connected to a Wi-Fi network and before I know it I’m out of range and offline to all my friends. To prevent this, Nimbuzz detects whenever you are out of range, and if there isn’t a known Wi-Fi network available it connects you via 3G, and vice versa.
Unique to Android users is the fact that only Nimbuzz integrates Skype IM and local social networks such as Hyves in the Netherlands, StudiVZ from Germany, Gadu-Gadu from Poland, and Giovani from Italy - we didn’t forget you guys!
In addition to downloading Nimbuzz via Android Market, you can also download directly from the Nimbuzz website. Give it a whirl and let us know what you think. Will it become your default chat app? Do you find an alternative much better?By the way, the company has also said via their twitter account that they do NOT offer VoIP with this version and that it is “an Android issue” but that they will solve the problem soon!
