    Figures by analyst Localytics have suggested that some 26 per cent of mobile apps are used only once following their download.

    The survey, covering iPhone, Android, Blackberry and Windows Phone 7, found that the number of one-use apps had fluctuated between 22 and 28 per cent over the last year.

    While this does mean a good 70 per cent of apps are used repeatedly, if accurate Localytics' figures present a new context for another recent survey which found that the average iOS device owner had downloaded some 60 apps.

    Drivers who regularly play videogames are nearly twice as likely to be stopped by police while on the road, according to a new study.

    The survey, carried out by Continental Tires and reported by Jalopnik, polled 2000 motorists between the ages of 17 and 39, half of whom were regular gamers, about their driving habits.

    The results showed, among other things, that 22 per cent of gamers have been stopped by police, compared to 13 per cent of non gamers.

    31 per cent of gamers claimed to have run a red light, compared to 14 per cent of non gamers, while 30 per cent had claimed on insurance for an accident, as opposed to 15 per cent of the non-gaming population.

    That said, it seems gamers are more likely to pass their driving test first time out and suffer fewer prangs.

    Here's the full run-down of results, with gamers' figures in bold:

    % stopped by police: 22/13
    % who use mobile when driving: 19/12
    % ever made a claim for an accident: 30/15
    % ran a red light in last 12 months: 31/14
    % driven wrong way down one-way street: 13/10
    % hit stationary object when parking: 22/13
    % accidentally clipped a car but kept quiet: 19/11
    % take risks (accelerate too quickly, overtake): 44/21
    % suffer road rage: 45/22
    % who speed: 25/13
    % scare others with their driving: 26/11
    Attempts before passing test: 2/3
    No. of prangs to their vehicle in last 12 months: 1/2
    So, where are all those Gran Turismo 5 fans going wrong?

    "It seems that while gamers develop useful skills and are more confident, they need to apply some balance with a sensible assessment of risk," said Continental's Tim Bailey.

    Peter Rodger from the Institute of Advanced Motorists chimed in too, offering the gaming populace a firm finger-waggling.

    "I am not surprised that regular gamers find themselves making the same decisions and judgements when driving for real as they do when in the virtual world," he said.

    "The issue is that when actually driving, our actions lead to 'real' results, and mistakes have very real consequences."

    Sony intends to spread the PlayStation Suite much further than Android phones - even iOS and Windows are part of the plan, and they're made by the enemy.

    The exciting potential is for PlayStation Suite games to be offered far and wide, rather than be restricted like produce for App Store and Windows Phone 7.

    "There are a variety of operating systems, but we're focusing first on Android," said Sony Computer Entertainment chief Kaz Hirai, in a conference translated by Andriasang.

    "There's also Windows, iOS and so forth, but we don't have the resources to make it compatible with everything from the start.

    "We're not ruling out PSS even on products like Sony Internet TV Powered by Google (Google TV) if adoption rate increases, or if it will help push adoption greatly."

    "We have a completely open stance with carriers and handset makers," he added.

    To begin with, PlayStation Suite will deliver classic PSone games to Android phone users. But in the future, Sony wants the Suite to evolve into a hardware-neutral development environment where brand new games and content are made.

    Through a PlayStation Certified seal of approval, Sony will pin-point which devices work properly with PlayStation Suite. And with a QA system, Sony hopes to avoid the Suite becoming a swamp of questionable quality.

    Final Fantasy VII on Android would tempt.

    The announcement of PlayStation Suite came at Sony's PlayStation Meeting last week. The big news there was the unveiling of Next Generation Portable (aka PSP2). Eurogamer's blanket coverage of the event has been cobbled together in one handy place.

    Griffin Smartshare Headphone Splitter
    Manufacturer: Griffin Technology
    Site: Buy from Griffin Technology
    Price: $7.49-$14.99

    Overview : The SmartShare is a headphone splitter with individual volume controls.

    It is ideal for watching movies on a PSP or listening to your music on a iPod, as it allows you to share the experience with a friend – perfect for car trips, plane flights, and waiting rooms. Now you can share your audio, not your volume preferences.

    Great design and minimal size make SmartShare a must-have addition to any accessory bag.

    Quality/Usability : The SmartShare splits sound between two headphones which allows two people to listen to your PSP or iPod at the same time without having to share headphones.

    This is great on those long roadtrips or flights to keep you and your friend occupied. Each splitter has its own volume control. If you're the type to blast the volume, your friend wont have to suffer as they can control their own volume to their likings.

    The sound quality is pretty clear and does a great job of splitting the sound. I personally like the volume blasted while my friends prefer to have a lower volume.

    Conclusion : Overall, the Griffin SmartShare is a nice product to share sounds with a friend without having to give up your headphones or one of your earbuds. The volume control on each splitter is a nice addition as each person can adjust it to their own likings. This is not only for the PSP but can also be used for iPod, MP3/CD player or any electronic device that has a headphone jack.

    The highly delayed and much coveted white version of the iPhone 4 should arrive in the not too distant future, according to Pocket Gamer.

    Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has also given the first explanation for the delay – apparently the white paint was allowing too much light to leak into the camera, resulting in washed out pictures. Wozniak even admitted to buying OEM Chinese case parts online and trying the white case himself to test the results.

    Retail listings suggest the white SKU could arrive at the end of the month.

    The last we heard Apple had stated that the white version of the iPhone 4 would be launched some time in 2011. Prior to that the device had expected to ship alongside the debut of the black machine last June, and then at some point later in 2010. ...

    Universal Windshield Holder (360° degree Rotatable)
    Maker: Unknown
    Site : Buy from Brando
    Price: $12.00

    Overview : This item holds your Cellphone, PDA, PSP, MP3 player and any other electronic devices it can hold. You can stick this onto the windshield of you car and view movies or listen to music from your PSP with ease. There are other windshield holders out there but none really rotate at 360°.

    * viewing of PSP while driving is not condoned by DCEmu and is not held liable for any accidents. Use at your own risk.

    Features :
    • New design, good outlook
    • No tools required - easy to install
    • Convenient, reliable and easy to use
    • Flexible pedestal shaft adjusts quickly
    • Suitable for cellular phones and PDAs


    Specification :
    • 360° Rotatable
    • Adjustable stroboscope mount width: 52-80mm
    • Flexible arm (165mm)
    • Suction pad with lock knob


    Package Contents :
    • One stroboscope mount
    • One flexible arm
    • Two vent pothook


    Quality/Usability : When I first got the item, the packaging was in a regular cardboard box, not the usual blister plastic packs. Upon opening the item, the two vent packs are in a small ziplock type bag, the flexible arm was wrapped in bubblewrap and the mount was just in the box. But the overall quality of the item is sturdy and solid. The neck itself is about 9 inches long and the mount itself is about 4 inches tall and 3 inches wide with the side 'arms' closed. With the side 'arms' spread open, its about 4 1/2 inches side. The side 'arms' of the mount spreads open with a click of a button on the side. The bottom 'legs' of the mount open up also for those bigger devices but require manual opening. The top 'head' moves up to accomodate those longer devices for more support. With the side 'arms' open completely, there is more than enough room to slide the PSP into. The 360 degree rotating idea is great for those who have a PSP, PDA, MP3 player, etc. and can rotate the holder to accomdate to whatever device they are using without having to have different holders in the car.

    Installation : Once everything was taken out, installation was pretty easy.

    Windshield:
    • Set main unit in foot-rest (clip with neck)
    • Remove protection paper from the bottom of suction cup
    • Place suction cup of foot-rest direct towards windshield and press then lock device on
    • Place the holder onto top of dashboard for addiction support


    Vent:
    • Set the pothook in main unit an dput them on the correct position
    • Set the device in vent


    Considering this is made from Asia, the english of the instructions were a little weird, so I reworded it. Its easy as putting legos together without even having to read the instructions.

    Conclusion : I have another windshield mount that I purchased on eBay that I use. Unfortunately, that one required some modificiation (cutting down on rubber and plastic). With this, there is more than enough room to fit the PSP without any modifications done to it. Just spread the side 'arms' open, slip your PSP into position and squeeze the side 'arms' closed to secure the PSP in place. I dont like the idea of the item being on the vent considering the weight of the PSP can damage your vents and it blocks off the vent when it is in use, especially a hot and humid summer.

    What I like about this is the amount of room to fit your device, the sturdiness of the product and the ability to rotate it 360°. The price of the item is affordable and reasonable. I paid more for the one I ordered on eBay .

    But use this at your own risk and safety. Watching PSP movies while driving can cause accidents. Also, viewing of items on your windshield blocks your view and distracts you so this is illegal in some states.
