Breakfast briefing: Sony gets its PlayStation plans on the Move

• It's heading for a year since Sony first unveiled its motion controller at E3 , in what most people considered a fairly hurried demo to combat Microsoft's Project Natal. But now the Japanese electronic giant has lifted the lid on the finished product: at the Game Developers Conference it said the device, known as PlayStation Move , will go on sale in the autumn for the US price of around $100. Is it more than the Eye? Or just another me-too attempt to cash in on the Wii trend? • We mentioned software patents in yesterday's briefing ( courtesy of Jonathan Schwartz ), but here's a biggie: Amazon 's 1-Click patent - which has caused so much controversy over the years - has been confirmed once again after being re-examined . Looks like Amazon will be on top of that one for some time to come. Meanwhile Microsoft failed in its appeal against i4i , which accused the company of infringing its patents. That's got to sting. • Ever wonder whether Google would actually do anything to follow up its threat to lift censorship in China - or whether it was just posturing? You're not alone. Talking in Abu Dhabi, Eric Schmidt said that "something will happen soon" , though it's not clear whether that is a decision to take action - or an agreement with Beijing. Let's see how it pans out.
