We swung by Sony's booth and got a look at two encased concepts that offer a glimpse of what's in store for the future of mobile computing. Needless to say, they're freakin' awesome.

Last night I took one for the DVICE team. I put on Sony's dorky headgear — the Personal 3D Viewer — and gripped the ten and two positions on a Logitech racing wheel and played Gran Turismo 5 through a virtual 150-inch TV. How did it go? Oh ho ho.

Sony has been going through a rough time recently, so news that they have decided to get out of the OLED TV business for the consumer market, isn't going help boost anyone's confidence.

The PS Vita is in a pickle right now — in Japan. For the second straight week since the new handheld launched, sales for the handheld have continued to fall. Is the PS Vita pulling a Nintendo 3DS, where slow sales, after an initial launch bonanza caused Nintendo to slash $80 off after about six months on the market?

Just a few months ago we showed you an amazing video demonstrating quantum levitation. Now a video on YouTube wants you to believe we are one step closer to flying toy cars, but you might want to look a bit closer.

We've already given you a visual tour of the PS Vita stacked up against a bunch of other gadgets, but what does the inside of Sony's newly launched handheld (in Japan) look like? As you'd expect, like a lot of green circuit boards.

There's no shortage of 3D displays and TVs available for purchase these days. To many, the extra couple hundred — or sometimes thousand — bucks isn't worth the extra "D," but prices are slowly coming down from a year ago.
Sony isn't giving up the 3D dream, though. The company is gambling hard on 3D tech, this year releasing the 3D TVs you'd expect, as well as some crazier options in the Personal 3D Viewer or 3D binocular camcorder or 3D cameras.

Sony's underdog Tablet S is the odd ball outta the thin and flat ocean of tablets.
