Mobil delivered this rendering of Kiki, a Sony Ericsson phone with a projected display and um, presumably, somewhere, a keypad. I like green. People need to make more green handsets. [Mobil via Engadget]

Mobil's dug up these photos of the XPERIA Racheal, supposedly their first Android phone. Exciting, since I love Sony Ericsson hardware.

These things are kind of all starting to look the same, but it's running the Snapdragon platform, meaning it could be 1GHz, and is rumored to have an 8MP imaging sensor. Let's hope they've got the image processing sorted out, though.

Activision's CEO has already gone public with his complaints about the price of the PS3, and it looks he's not alone among industry bigwigs with a bone to pick with Sony, with the CEO of the newly formed Tecmo Koei now coming out and echoing his concerns. Speaking with CVG, Tecmo Koei's Kenji Matsubara says that whenever he speaks about the issue with Sony reps, he asks them to "please cut the price" of the PS3, adding that "from a publisher's point of view we would welcome a price cut for PS3 and we are waiting, definitely." He doesn't quite go so far as pull an Activision and threaten to ditch support for the console if Sony doesn't drop the price, however, although it seems safe to assume that these complains will only grow louder -- at least until Sony actually does cut the price of the PS3, that is.

Simply put, the flash purse sets off its own flash when it detects flash coming from other cameras. Perhaps the best anti-Paparazzi device that’s a also a gadget, the purse ruins the shot by using its apparently bright light to blind both camera and photographer, leading to useless washed-out celebrity shots.

No word on when this device will ever see the market, or if there will be a version for the guys, but it seems like a very sound concept. The Paparazzi have no choice but to use their flash at night and under low-light conditions, to prevent the blurring ruinous to a potential money-making shot.

On the other hand, with their living at stake, will the paparazzi come out with a counter-measure? Even worse, will they resort to drastic measures to get the visual scoop?

Thanks Cool News!
