PS4 release date beats Xbox One to the line
 

Sony has announced the PS4 launch date, and it's not very far away. It'll go on sale in the US on November 15, and reach the UK, Europe and Australia two weeks later on November 29.

Sony barely paused for breath to confirm the price - $399, £349 UK, €399 - before firing more rounds from its announcement cannon. Remote Play streaming, the inclusion of Twitch gameplay and an expanded list of launch titles all made the news. Microsoft had some news too. It revealed the Xbox One launch list and promised to bundle FIFA 14 with pre-orders. Hurrah for that, says Patrick Goss.

Away from games, we learned a bit more about Samsung's smartwatch, the Apple-pipping Galaxy Gear, expected to ship in late September.

Next up, Facebook announced the Internet.org project to make friends with the billions of people who don't have internet access. But columnist Gary Marshall reckons "This isn't about making the world a nicer place. It's about playing nice for Wall Street."

Facebook wants to get the world online - but what's in it for Zuck?
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced a new coalition of tech companies this week, aiming to get the rest of the world online. Dubbed internet.org, he tried to convince us that it wasn't about money but about the internet as human right. Yeah right, Zuck, writes Gary Marshall. You can't fool us. Facebook isn't a charity.

LG creates the world's first Blu-ray quality phone display
It's not quite phone-ready yet but LG is pretty pleased with its first Quad HD LCD display for smartphones. The 5.5" panel beats the S4, HTC One and LG G2 in terms of resolution - but at what cost? We won't find out if battery life - or our bank accounts - will suffer until the first phones with the display land, likely in 2014. Read more

The week's best buys
 
HTC One Mini 


Where do you go next once you've made the world's best phone? If you're HTC, you make it smaller, shave off a few added extras and a few quid.

Based on the HTC One, the One Mini comes with the same great design, a high-res screen and a lovely Android experience for a mini price-tag.

Microsoft Surface Pro 128 GB


After a lightweight Windows 8 PC that runs all your apps, has a touchscreen and a stylus? Then the Surface Pro is for you.

As well as all that, there's an excellent Touch cover-cum-keyboard that essentially transforms the tablet into a notebook PC. A great machine at a reasonable price.

Google Nexus 7


The Nexus 7 is a remarkably solid all-rounder with impressive specs. With the latest version of Android on board, it comes with great battery life to boot.

While it might not tread much new tablet ground, the Google Nexus 7 is a well thought-out tablet and astounding value for money.

What you said about
bundling FIFA 14 with the Xbox One
@daunorubicin to be honest FIFA actually puts me off buying an Xbox One.
 
 
@SameerAFC I am not going to go to bed with the devil because of some 40 quid incentive
 
 
@wak_hb Nope, didn't like the initial greed from Microsoft and personally there isn't life changing differences between the 2 consoles

Is a convertible right for your business?
 

Lenovo's range of convertibles give the benefits of a tablet without sacrificing the versatility of a laptop - and you don't need to carry two devices or pay for two software licenses. With flexible or removable keyboards, devices like the Helix, the ThinkPad Twist and the IdeaPad Yoga really can be everything you need for work.
