| Apple overtakes RIM in global mobile sales Posted: 29 Oct 2010 05:20 AM PDT Apple leaves RIM in the dust as the race for mobile sales supremacy
This new position for the Cupertino company means that RIM has dropped down to fifth place, while Nokia still remains at the top of the chart.
The IDC numbers are taken quarterly, meaning that in the past three months alone Apple have shipped 14.1 million mobile phones around the world, giving them 4.1% of the market share.
People perhaps scoffed at Apple when the company said it would sell 10 million phones in the first year alone, but they are clearly meeting those ambitious targets now.
RIM shipments dropped this quarter to 12.4 million, giving them 3.6% of the market share. Nokia on the other hand sold an amazing 110.4 million handsets leaving them in control of the market with 32.4%,

| Microsoft executive: Sony's Move is a "great product" Posted: 29 Oct 2010 03:17 AM PDT Kinect vs. Move saga takes an unexpected twist In an unusual act of kindness, Microsoft’s Xbox exec Aaron Greenberg has doused bitter rivals Sony with praise as he described the Sony PlayStation Move motion controlled gaming peripheral a “great product”.
With the launch of Microsoft’s own motion gaming accessory, the controller-less Kinect now just days away, Greenberg’s unexpected comments came during an interview with Eurogamer in which he proceeded to admit that Sony’s ultra-responsive motion controller has attracted “favourable reviews”.
On his own company’s attempt at motion domination the Xbox bigwig suggested: “Here's what I think: Move is just a different approach to the market," he said. "We're thinking about Kinect as a key component to the platform.”
"Our approach has been different. We're not going to take Halo, a game you love playing with the controller, and offer you the option to play it with a different interface which may or may not have been designed for that game. We want to build completely unique experiences from the ground up which are designed for Kinect. It's just a different approach."
With the battle of Christmas supremacy set to kick of in the coming weeks, which motion accessory gets your vote, Sony’s PlayStation Move or Microsoft Kinect for the Xbox 360?

| Philips Econova 42-inch LED green TV launches Posted: 29 Oct 2010 03:16 AM PDT Will it be 2011's Green Gadget of the Year at the T3 Awards? The race among tech’s biggest manufacturers to become the most environmentally-friendly has become fierce over the past few years, as the world has woken up to climate change, Al Gore and melty ice caps. Philips may have just gone ahead of the curve, though, with its just-launched Econova 42-inch LED TV.

| Nexus Two spotted ahead of expected Nov 8th launch Posted: 29 Oct 2010 02:35 AM PDT Nexus Two emerges from hiding The Samsung branded Google Nexus Two has leaked ahead of its expected November 8th unveiling as gadget blog Gizmodo claims to have been given a hands-on experience with the sequel to the original Google handset.
Whilst much expectation is being heaped on the mooted Nexus Two, the Gizmodo reports are suggesting the Galaxy S look-a-like is going to be a somewhat disappointing step back from the Nexus One stating: “It’s not going to rock your face like the Nexus One did.”
Reported to be running Google’s upcoming Android 3.0 operating system, Gingerbread, albeit a far from finished “really buggy” version, the forthcoming announcement of the Nexus 2 at Samsung’s November 8th press conference should help put these claims and speculation into the realms of reality.
Stay tuned to T3.com and the T3 Twitter and Facebook feeds for all the latest on the upcoming announcement and release of the Samsung Nexus 2.

| PSP 2 to be more powerful than Xbox 360? Posted: 29 Oct 2010 02:33 AM PDT More details of the PSP2 surface The PSP2 speculation is coming thick and fast with the latest claims suggesting the rumoured device will pack a processor which will deliver twice the power of the current Xbox 360 console.
Revealed by 'multiple sources' involved in detailed meetings with Sony at the Tokyo Game Show to talk all things PSP2, the new portable gaming device will apparently feature 1GB of RAM. In comparison to the Xbox 360, which features 512MB of RAM that's some leap in the power department.
Sony's current portable gaming models, the PSP Go and the PSP 3000 both host 64MB of RAM, which is some way behind the 1GB of RAM being touted for the new PSP.
Other details to come from these meetings suggest the PSP 2 will steer clear from resurrecting UMD, with games to be downloaded via memory sticks.
A rear touch panel which looks like a mouse trackpad, dual analog sticks and a bigger display likely to be HD has also been touted.
With intense speculation that a PlayStation Phone is likely to land in the not too distant future, it could be a busy year ahead for Sony.

| One in 7 Britons replacing watches with new technology Posted: 28 Oct 2010 10:50 PM PDT The clock is ticking away... There used to be a time when watches and clocks were the only way to tell time (unless you could translate the position of the sun into a fairly accurate time of the day!). Batteries ran out? Not to worry, pop in a new one. However, a survey has come to light which says that almost 15% of British people say they have no reason to wear a watch. With the watch being more of a fashion statement than a time-keeping piece, people usually turn to their mobile phones or other electronic devices to tell the time.
