| Tech Week: Gran Turismo 5 review and iOS 4.2 launched Posted: 27 Nov 2010 10:00 AM PST Yet another busy week in tech has past us by, here are our highlight from the past seven days, enjoy.
News of the Week
Apple iOS 4.2 was finally launched this week after much speculation as to when it would arrive. Monday was rumoured to be the day of arrival and this came to pass as iPads were given multitasking capabilities and folder organisation. Despite this recent release, speculation is already running rife about Apple iOS 4.3 landing this December. Likely? Perhaps not but fingers crossed.
Away from Gran Turismo 5 gaming has taken the headline repeatedly this week. Whilst a PSP Phone arrival date has leaked, December 9th in case you wondered. Elsewhere PlayStation touting Call of Duty: Black Ops gamers have hit out at Activision petitioning for a full refund for what they consider an 'inferior' title to that offered to the Xbox contingent. Further irking PS3 owners is the news that Microsoft is to offer free Xbox LIVE Gold access this weekend. What are you waiting for Xbox owners get online now.
Finally, calling all wannabe iPad owners, this week has been riddled with offers for the Apple tablet. Whilst Apple has announced its own UK bound black Friday offers, Orange and T-Mobile declared they will subsidise iPads. This news was shortly followed by a similar deal with Three Mobile and the revelation that Apple has a Twitter page that intends to give 100 iPads away. Lovely.

Reviews of the Week The Apple iPad is already a market leading, envy inducing, salvation producing gadget that is no doubt atop many a Christmas wish list this year but according to the T3 team it has just got even better thanks to a new operating system update. Check out the T3 Apple iPad with iOS 4.2 full review to find out why this 9.7-inch beaut is now more joyous to use.
In an attempt to curb the market share held by rivals Flip, Sony has updated its micro-pocket camcorder to sport a tasty 3-inch touchscreen. Our review of the cleverly named Sony Bloggie Touch looks at the device's new touchscreen controls and high-end image quality with a rather impressive four-star result.
Acer revealed a range of new tablet devices this week at a conference in New York, the strangest looking among the bunch, the Acer Iconia made a trip via T3 Towers for a hands-on with the 10.1-inch dual-screen tablet device. Running Windows 7 Home Premium, the Iconia allows users to transform either screen into a full QWERTY touchscreen keyboard.

| Apple bans Android magazine from App Store Posted: 27 Nov 2010 02:18 AM PST Jobs and co. tighten their grip further on the Apple App Store. We reported back in February the news that Apple was chucking apps from its App Store with the word 'Android' in the title, but now it appears Apple have taken that policy one step further, banning Android-centric magazine app Android Magasinet from its App Store altogether. The offense? Dedicating the app exclusively to Google's Android OS and handsets, apparently. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
