There's no question that gaming on the Android platform has heretofore been relatively underwhelming, but that looks like it's all about to change. It seems that Sony Ericsson -- a company that has yet to even introduce an Android 2.0 device -- is at work on a project to redefine gaming on Google's mobile platform. We now know (via a trusted source) that the company is actively and heavily developing a brand new gaming platform, ecosystem, and device (possibly alongside Google) which are already in the late stages of planning. And we've got the goods on it.

(Owner of Blog)Exclusive : Sony Ericsson Playstation Android 3.0 Phone
Exclusive: Sony Ericsson to introduce
Playstation Android 3.0 Smartphone
As for the hardware, Engadget notes that the first device created by Sony Ericsson for this new endeavor will have a mixture between XPERIA and PlayStation branding. The possible specifications are jaw-dropping, which Engadget has listed as a “cross between the Samsung Captivate and PSP Go” and they describe in further details.
The phone should be running the latest version of Google’s Android OS- 3.0 Gingerbread. It has the following specifications:
- 1 GHz Qualcomm Processor
- 512 MB RAM, 1 GB ROM
- Screen is at least 3.7″ ( We expect a big screen as it’s ideal for gaming)
- micro-SD Card Slot
- Multi Touch Touchpad
- Camera with LED Flash (We’re guessing around 5MP)
- TFT touchscreen, 16M colors
On the software side, it looks like the device will be running Gingerbread (Android 3.0) with a phone-specific skin, and there will be a new area of the Android Market specifically for the games. That content will be initially accessible only by the halo device, but from the sounds of things, these titles might be made available to other Android phones if their specs and button layouts meet requirements. Games will be graphically in the range of PSX or PSP games, meaning true 3D gaming is headed to Android. Titles currently being shown off seem to be focused around some older PSX as well as new PSP offerings, with God of War, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and LittleBigPlanet possibly on tap, and future plans for titles which incorporate augmented reality features.
It also looks like no UI skinning has been done such as the Timescape UI. It maybe because of the fact that its buggy or because the pictures show a prototype device.
The release date is rumoured to be either 4th quarter of 2010 or 1st quarter of 2011. No details about pricing are known.

What is a proxy server

What is a proxy server ???
The word Proxy is derived from a Latin word proximus which means “close”.A proxy is actually a server which helps us maintaining our privacy on the Internet. It is just like a wall between you and the Internet. When you use a proxy, the webpage on the other side won’t be able to see you, webpage interacts with the proxy and proxy in return shows us the webpage. In this way a proxy server works. A client connects to the proxy server, requesting some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other resource, available from a different server. The proxy server evaluates the request according to its filtering rules.
For example, it may filter traffic by IP address or protocol. If the request is validated by the filter, the proxy provides the resource by connecting to the relevant server and requesting the service on behalf of the client. A proxy server may optionally alter the client’s request or the server’s response, and sometimes it may serve the request without contacting the specified server.
A proxy server can be used for various purposes such as :
- Hiding machine or other servers from public. It provides security.
- To speed up access to resources (using caching). Web proxies are commonly used to cache web pages from a web server.
- To open blocked sites in college schools and some times in offices.
- To bypass security/ parental controls.
- To protect your real identity on internet.
A proxy server that passes requests and replies unmodified is usually called a gateway or sometimes tunneling proxy.A proxy server can be placed in the user’s local computer or at various points between the user and the destination servers on the Internet.
A reverse proxy is (usually) an Internet-facing proxy used as a front-end to control and protect access to a server on a private network, commonly also performing tasks such as load-balancing, authentication, decryption or caching.
It was all general about proxies. In my next article i will discuss how to use online proxies and using proxy along with your browser. I will discuss how to configure proxy with either Internet Explorer or Mozilla firefox. If you want me to discuss how to configure proxy in browser you use, you can leave browser name in comments. I will discuss proxy configuration in that browser which will receive maximum votes.
