VIEWPOINT: As a follow-up to our ViewPoint with Microsoft’s CEO Steve Ballmer, we’ve also compiled a two-part demo on Microsoft Office 2010.

Our video team managed to meet up with Mr. Rashish Pandey, Product Manager, from the Business & Marketing Organization division of Microsoft Singapore, who was kind enough to give us a demo. Here’s Part 1.

VIEWPOINT: The July 2010 issue of HWM should be out in your respective countries (Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines & Thailand) this week.

Some of the editions would be carrying our latest feature stories on Microsoft Office 2010, which was recently launched across different countries.

The July 2010 covers for HWM Singapore and HWM Philippines are attached here as well.

Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer, was in Singapore recently as part of the build-up to the launch.

As a bonus to the feature story which you’ll probably find in your country editions, here’s a ViewPoint video with Ballmer done by the team for your enjoyment.

Project Natal by Microsoft uses the entire body as the controller.

Expect a battle to emerge among the PS3, Xbox360 and Wii this Christmas -- this time centered around games supporting motion sensing systems.

T&A: Initially announced and slated for release by Sony by Spring of this year, the motion controller of which a prototype was shown at E3 last year, will now makes its debut in Autumn this year, based on news from Reuters and BBC.

This puts its right-smack up against the planned launch of Microsoft’s Project Natal for the Xbox360, which according to Robbie Bach, Microsoft’s President for Entertainment & Devices Division at CES 2010, will launch by end-2010.

Project Natal is a radical controller-less motion sensing system where users use their entire body to navigate their avatars in-game. We’ve covered this as a news post awhile back.

The Sony PS3 motion controller is somewhat similar to the Wii motion sensing controller, except that in the PS3’s case, the PlayStation Eye camera atop the HDTV will detect the movements of a special light-emitting sphere on the controller instead of using infra-red sensors like the Wii.

Expect the console gaming season in Christmas 2010 to be one of the hottest ever as different console manufacturers, and game publishers for the Nintendo Wii, Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3, release games that tap on these new motion sensing systems.

Meanwhile, here’s a video of Sony’s PS3 prototyped motion sensing controllers in action at last year’s E3 2009 event in Los Angeles, USA.

SHOWCASE: The Consumer Electronics Show, currently being held in Las Vegas, USA, from 7-10 January 2010, has been the focus of the tech community over the past several days, especially with hypes, pre-announcements and previews.

Here’s a collection of keynote and demo videos by the different tech companies like Microsoft, Sony and Intel which we think would make for a good start of what’s happening over there.

Microsoft’s CES 2010 keynote presented by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, including a segment by Microsoft’s President for Entertainment & Devices Division, Robbie Bach. The video is prefaced with an introduction by CEO and President of Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), Gary Shapiro:
