With Mobile World Congress less than a week away, questions are already flying around about what’s being announced. The most notable of which, what will Samsung announce if its not the Galaxy S III, are the Huawei Diamond rumours true, and will HTC have ended its lawsuit with Vivid Entertainment?
It’s no easy task covering events, producing countless videos and photos away from a quiet and controlled environment, but we don’t want you feeling left out. During the week of the event, our UK-based team will be upping-shop and moving their production efforts to Barcelona. James Bricknell (left) will be presenting the event, with Olly and Sam (left, right) co-producing.
While we’re obviously disgustingly good at looking sexy, viewing the world through hair, and drinking tea, we’ll try and put those skills aside to bring you the best coverage possible. What are you hoping to see from MWC this year?

For those who enjoy video games, Playstation making moves in the Android world has been very exciting. Sure, they put their support out for only a very select few phones, but it was a start and something to build on. It was only a matter of time before things got better for the mobile gaming demographic.
Well, the news is only getting better as XDA Senior Member bcarter2000 has dropped a tip off in the forums that HTC could be getting Playstation Certified as early as Mobile World Congress. As if we didn’t have enough to look forward to!
The story, which has appeared on Yahoo! News via Pocket-lint, says:
The official announcement might come as soon as the end of February at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, sources claim. If true, the certification will let users play PlayStation One games on HTC devices.
Joy! For many gamers, the only way to get their Playstation fix thus far has been emulators. However, ROMs for those can be buggy, laggy, and saved data seems to be more easily corrupted. Nevertheless, aficionados of gaming have something to look forward to.
