1) Sony’s Music Unlimited Service is Coming Soon to Your iOS Device

2) Hands-on with the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Processor

Today, Qualcomm has announced a new Snapdragon S4 processor.  Consumers don’t often get excited about chips, but this new chip is reportedly able to deliver Kinect-like abilities to your mobile device.

TechnoBuffalo’s own Jon Rettinger had a chance to film a demo of the new chip here at CES 2012, and while there were a few hiccups in the demo, it’s worth keeping in mind that this isn’t a final production chip, so a few missteps are to be expected.
