Likely in an effort to streamline their internal operations and cut where the feature usage does not warrant the costs, Sony has announced that it’s killing its Music Unlimited program. Previously dubbed as Qriocity when it launched in 2010, the streaming service looked to tackle iTunes and other similar services like Pandora and Spotify by allowing users to stream music for a monthly fee.

Earlier today, news began to circulate that Sony’s Backup and Restore app on Google Play for the company’s line of Xperia devices was hacked. Appearing on Google Play and available to download for free, the app in question mimicked everything about Sony’s official app from wording to design with one obvious difference, the top part of the app was replaced with HeArT HaCkEr Group.

Simply put, typing on PS4 got a whole lot easier and the consoles experience extended beyond the need to be using it in person. You could now chat with friends, shop for games on PSN, and have all be ready by the time you got on your PS4 again. Still, there is no denying that the app itself is extremely basic in design and functionality. Seeing how fluid apps can be today, the PlayStation App mostly reminds me of how PSN was on PS3 when it first launched. Functional, but dated in its design language.

The PlayStation App 1.70.13 has just been released by Sony for iOS devices (iPhone, iPad) and with it comes a host of changes. Till now, while the PlayStation App ran on iPad, it was never created natively for the larger display, resulting in an upscaled version of the iPhone app. With the most recent app update, Sony has brought native support for iPad 2 and iPad mini. This of course is still behind where Apple is with their iPad line and still doesn’t include Retina display support, which was introduced in the iPad 3 (early 2012) and the new iPad mini, but it’s a start.
