- Ford SYNC goes global, 2012 Focus will accept commands in 19 languages
For a long time Ford kept its best cars in Europe and Australia, leaving Americans to make do with the Tempo or teasing us with a Focus that wasn’t nearly as good as those elsewhere in the world. That’s all changed now, and we’re dutifully returning the favor. SYNC, which has been present on many an American Blue Oval since 2007, is now going international, Ford and Nuance managing to add an additional 16 languages to the voice recognition processing, bringing the total to 19. Emergency assistance has also been expanded to cover other languages as well, so you can now hollar for help, schreien for hilfe, or even schreeuwen for helpen.

- CTIA exec promises ‘significant’ new tablet launch at trade show next month
A trade show executive attempting to generate interest in his own trade show may not exactly be news, but CTIA vice president Rob Mesirow has made things a bit more interesting than usual by promising today that a “significant” new tablet will be launched at the mobile-focused show, which runs from March 22nd to the 24th. What could that tablet be? Well, we already have a pretty strong indication that Samsung will announce an 8.9-inch Galaxy Tab at the show — but is it “significant” enough to match the hype? As for any other announcements we might see, Mesirow was fairly tight-lipped, with him saying only that “Android, Android, Android” will be the big platform at the show, and that while we will see more out of Windows Phone 7, it will be “moving into the fall show in a much bigger way.” Whatever is in store, you can count on us being there to see it first hand.

- Sony’s PSP Go officially drops to $150
It may not be the first time you’ve been able to snag a PSP Go for $150, but you can now rest assured that you’ll never pay anything more than that, as Sony has officially knocked another $50 off the handheld’s list price. That follows a similar $50 price drop back in October (not to mention a $40 price cut to the regular PSP just last week), although that doesn’t seem to have done a whole lot to boost sales of the download-only device. Will this new low, low price make a bigger difference? And, if not, how much lower can it go before a certain quad-core monster really makes its presence felt?
