PS4 Slim Rumored to Arrive by TGS 2016 According to Sony Analyst
While we know the PS4 NEO is in development and expected to arrive later this year, today according to a WSJ Report with Yuka Koshino from Takashi Mochizuki a PS4 Slim model is also in the works! 
According to a Sony analyst in the report, the PlayStation 4 Slim is due by Tokyo Game Show (TGS) 2016 (runs from September 15th to September 18th) if the rumors are true... at this point Sony has only confirmed the upcoming PS4 NEO 4K console though.
To quote from PSU.com:
"This is the first we've heard about a PS4 Slim, and Sony has yet to make any official announcement regarding a sleeker, more cost efficient version of its latest gaming platform."

Android Gets PlayStation Vue, New PS4 and PS3 Features Detailed
Last week we reported that it was coming, and today Sony's online streaming service known as PlayStation Vue officially launches on Android via mobile app with new features for both PS4 and PS3 users as well!
Here's a summary of the new PS Vue features from Dan Myers, to quote:
Video Thumbnail in Guide on PS4
Want to keep an eye on what you’re currently watching while scrolling through the Guide? You can now do so with our new video thumbnail in the upper right corner of the Guide as you move through new options of live TV and on-demand video in the Guide.
Quick Navigation on PS4 and PS3
There’s a new Quick Navigation menu that appears over your show, so you can get to a couple of places quicker. Quickly jump to “last channel” (one of the most highly requested features), My Shows, Guide, Explore, and Search instantly while you are watching a show. Press the touchpad of your DualShock 4, or hold down Triangle on your DualShock 3 and the Quick Navigation will pop up.
Additional enhancements on PS4 include a quicker way to preview rewind/fast-forward content and your favorite channels duplicated in Guide so you can see your Favorite Channels upfront along with the rest of the channel lineup in alphabetical order. Some additional UI improvements are also added for both PS4 and PS3.
We'll have enhancements coming soon for Amazon Fire TV as well, including Quick Navigation and a new update that brings 60 frames per second video output for great high definition picture quality to 2nd Generation Amazon Fire TVs.
