Sony’s new handheld gaming product, the
PlayStation Vita, goes on sale today in Europe and the U.S. Following its initial launch in Japan in December, the device was plagued by some
reported bugs, including crashes and gameplay lags, but Sony quickly issued a software update to address the issues. As The Wall Street Journal’s Katie Boehret notes in her
review of the Vita, the 3G and Wi-Fi capable Vita costs $299; the Wi-Fi-only version costs $249.

Personally, I preferred “The Walt” over “The Kara.”
But the attendees of the ninth
D: All Things Digital conference seemed to like the grilled cheese sandwich made of “sharp” cheddar over more “experienced” gruyere, courtesy of a new start-up demo called Melt.

Take the same walk that all the speakers take, from the green room, backstage and into the famous red chairs where Walt and Kara grill our guests. Only KatieCam can take you there.

We’re kicking off with a special KatieCam, Katie Boehret’s signature behind-the-scenes guide to the D9 conference, by unpacking the famous D schwag bag.

Earlier today, BoomTown hoofed it to downtown San Francisco to join a pair of
All Things Digital A-Team members–Walt Mossberg and Katie Boehret–at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference, where CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the newest version of the iconic mobile device, iPhone 4.
As usual, I had to snark it up with a video of the proceedings at the Moscone Center West, where over 5,000 of the Apple faithful gathered to kibitz and ogle.
Cue the excessive oohing and aahing.

This week the valley was abuzz (and certainly not atwitter) with preparations for the Google I/O event that would showcase what the search giant had been up to inside the skunk works. Would it be TV? Video? A tablet? Free phones?
Read on for all the news from a big week in the Valley, where it was about way more than Google.

It has been a rough week for more than a few tech companies, and all the hubbub seems to be centered around private data in public places. Facebook has taken more than a few on the chin this week, and it wasn’t the only company that committed privacy missteps. Weekend Update is seriously considering sealing all our personal data in a lead-lined jar and burying it in the yard behind
AllThingsD HQ. Maybe Kara and the crew can talk a little sense into us.

The major story that unfolded in Silicon Valley this third week in April was fit for the silver screen. The divine screenwriter collected a cast featuring Baron VonJobs, Denton and his Gizmodo goons, and one well meaning–if tragically unlucky–software developer. Laws may have been violated, bribes were paid, and all over the seemingly golden prize that, let’s face it, we all would have seen in eight weeks anyway.
