- Sony SmartWatch and accessories pop up at Verizon Wireless
By and large Sony’s wrist-born Android info center, the SmartWatch, has given enough utility to end up on a few of our wrists. Connecting to any Android 2.1 or higher smartphone via Bluetooth, the device has a capacitive screen for input and acts as a notifier for calls, messages or social networks. With a new SDK under its belt, it also supports 60 apps so far including an open-source music player and eight new games. Now you can grab one for $149.97 at Verizon Wireless’ online or brick and mortar stores, along with accessories for it like extra straps and chargers. So if you’ve been looking for a way to stay on top of your social life at a glance, find your phone when it gets lost — or even just check the time, believe it or not — hit the source link below for more info.

- PSA: Some Meebo services shutting down starting next week
News barely just hit the airwaves about Google snapping up social platform Meebo, and already it’s being dismantled. As from Monday (June 11th,) Meebo Messenger, Sharing on Meebo, MeeboMe and all the mobile apps will be shutting down. In the meantime you’ll still be able to download chat logs, sharing history and so on, but you’ll need to hop on quick, before the final curtain. Meebo does confirm, however, that its Bar product will continue to be available, and receive support, for the at least the coming months.

- ComScore: Nearly a quarter of US smartphone owners have tablets, love their video
If you’ve got a smartphone, it’s increasingly likely that you’re also carrying a tablet as a sidearm. ComScore understands that 23.6 percent of American smartphone owners also have an iPad, Kindle Fire or some other large touchscreen slab as of April. That’s only 16.5 percent of all cellphone owners in the land, but that’s a huge jump from 9.7 percent of smartphone owners (4.7 percent of cellphone owners) just one year earlier. And if you do own a slate, odds are that you’re watching your fair share of movies and cat videos. More than half of tablet users, 53 percent, fire up the likes of Netflix or YouTube at least once a month, with almost a tenth (9.5 percent) tuning in daily. Tablet lovers are unsurprisingly three times more likely to watch than their smartphone counterparts, suggesting that it’s just a short hop from buying a tablet to catching up on Daily Show episodes.
