Hasta La Gadget!

This week the event known as Destination PlayStation (2013) has been confirmed in an invitation to the press (and retail executives, of course) with promise of more 2013 action than the game-loving public can handle. This event is set to show off games, primarily, but attendees will also be “treated to food, drink, play, and a first look at all the amazing new releases coming from Sony Computer Entertainment America Entertainment in 2013.” An announcement of the next-generation PlayStation gaming console would fit with the scheduling of a release to the public in 2014 given past release trends from Sony.

This event will be taking place starting on the 25th of February and will last until February the 28th, and you can make a bet that all the most important points will be covered by SlashGear in full. While it’s only a guess at this point that Sony will bring the real fire, we’ve had more than a few tips and rumors surrounding at least an acknowledgement that they’re working on the console of the future.

The PlayStation 4 will take on the Xbox 360 or whatever has replaced it by the time it’s out, the name “Xbox 720″ being tossed about over the past few months as the most likely title. Next-generation connections will be with Sony’s ever-growing network of devices and software including Android smartphones and Smart TV. As it stands now, the PlayStation 2 has only just stopped being produced in Japan, so you can either take this as a tip that the next version is coming or that Sony has finally concentrated its full efforts on the PlayStation 3.

Have a peek at the timeline below to see all recent mentions of the PlayStation’s evolution toward the future – and let us know what you think the next-generation console will be all about. And remember to join us near the end of February to see if Sony is ready to take on the future or if they’re doubling-down on the present with games galore for the 3.

On the 13th of this month there will indeed be an event held by HTC and Verizon at once, bringing on a new device that’s quite likely looking like what we’ve been teased with over the past few weeks – the HTC DROID DNA. This device is the only un-revealed machine we’ve seen that’s heading for Verizon from HTC that’s been visible in leaks over the past few weeks, and with the way the market looks today, such a phablet is quite likely to pop up soon. You’ll want to stick right here to SlashGear for the big event on the 13th as it’ll be bright with high definition and massive display size, one way or another.

The name DROID DNA comes from internal documents that’ve popped up over the past few weeks coming from Verizon, HTC, and everywhere in-between. The folks at HTC have revealed a device in Japan that takes on a form not unlike what we’re expecting here, calling it the HTC J Butterfy. This device has a massive 1080p display, that’s undeniably sharp, sharper than the whole rest of the market at the moment at 440 pixels per inch.

This device’s definition – if we’re just talking pixel density – is nearly 100 PPI denser than the next best device on the market. Nearby is a BlackBerry testing device getting pumped for BlackBerry 10, but nothing else is up nearby for the market – the Butterfly already exists. Coming down Verizon’s way, we’re expecting that the code-name DROID DNA very well may be sticking.

The images we’ve seen of this device thus far have been solid, with a lovely red ring around a mostly black device, red accents reflecting the rest of the DROID lineup that’s kept Verizon strong over the past few years. With the HTC DROID DNA we’ll have a new version of HTC Sense that works with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean (not 4.2 quite yet we must assume) and we’ll have Qualcomm under the hood. What’s not yet as solid is the size of the processor, be it the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 dual-core or the S4 Pro quad-core as found in the LG Optimus G.

UPDATE: @evleaks has posted another image that essentially confirms that this event will be for the DROID DNA – have a peek at the invite and the wallpaper for this device, and you shall see! Also have a peek at the timeline below to see more details on this fabled device and we’ll see how real it all is on the 13th of this month!
