| Apple TV sales to top 1 million mark before Christmas Posted: 21 Dec 2010 07:00 AM PST Apple's pet project finally finds its feet Apple has announced that it expects the recently released second generation Apple TV to top the 1 million global sales mark later this week.
Having dropped to a quarter of the size and a fraction of the price of its predecessor during the annual iPod update event in September, the new Apple TV has seen greatly improved consumer interest across the globe following launch.
Running iOS, Apple TV allows users to stream video and music content from the iTunes Store, Macs and PCs and via video on-demand services such as Netflix, YouTube and Flickr direct to TVs. Unlike the original model, the latest Apple TV unit does not feature any in-built media storage.
Have you already splashed out on Apple TV or plan to do so ahead of the Christmas period? Share your thoughts on Apple’s ‘pet project’ via the T3 Twitter and Facebook feeds. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| PSP Phone launch scheduled for April after MWC unveiling Posted: 21 Dec 2010 06:25 AM PST Sony PSP Phone about to enter the realms of reality? Having failed to materialise at an expected launch event earlier this month the heavily rumoured Sony PSP Phone, known as the Sony Ericsson Z1, is to hit stores in April following a Mobile World Congress unveiling, reported inside sources have revealed.
Pocket-lint claims that “sources close to the matter” have confirmed that the Android powered PSP Phone is to be officially unveiled at the Barcelona based phone show in February yet “won’t be out until April in the UK.”
A mooted Sony PSP Phone has been a key talking point in the tech world for a number of years now with speculation and expectation kicking into higher gear in recent months as a number of spy shots and reported hands-on leaks have emerged.
Having failed to out the PSP Phone at the rumoured December 9th launch in Paris recently, Sony officially launched a PlayStation app for both iOS and Android devices, allowing users to remotely track their PSN stats and seemingly quashing hopes of a PSP Phone arrival.
Will the repeatedly rumoured yet never appearing PSP Phone finally rear its head at MWC 2011? Let us know what you think and whether the PlayStation branded device would live up to the hype via the T3 Twitter and Facebook feeds.

| Sony Ericsson 16-megapixel camera phone spotted in leak Posted: 21 Dec 2010 04:38 AM PST Upcoming Sony Ericsson phone spotted leaving FCC A 16-megapixel camera touting Sony Ericsson handset has been spotted having cleared the FCC checks hinting towards an early 2011 launch.
Believed to be Japan bound initially the yet unnamed Sony Ericsson camerphone is seemingly set to once again up the megapixel wars anti with its whopping 16-meg snapper wrapped around a 1GHz Snapdragon processor and what appears to be a touchscreen interface with portrait slide-out mobile keyboard.
Other known specs of the 16-megapixel cameraphone see the device packing the usual array of inbuilt Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth connectivity as well as the now standard microSD slot. It is not currently known, when, or if, the spotted handset will make it to UK shores.
Is a 16-megapixel camera in a mobile phone handset overkill? Share your thoughts of the super snappy Sony Ericsson with us via the T3 Twitter and Facebook feeds and stay tuned to T3.com for all the latest on its potential UK arrival.

| Apple removes WikiLeaks app from App Store Posted: 21 Dec 2010 02:54 AM PST First Jobs bans porn, and now democracy-aiding app falls to Apple's Utopian vision. Apple is getting a little political with its App Store censorship lately, the other week it booted out an app protesting against gay marriage, and now, perhaps more crucially, it has risked the ire of WikiLeaks by canning its iPhone app.
The app, which for $1.99, provided access to the leaked Embassy cables that caused all the recent hoo-ha and saw internet service providers such as Amazon throw the site of their servers.
The WikiLeaks app only went up on 17th December, but now it is nowhere to be seen with no explanation from Apple as to why it chose to pull it.
It represents a pretty ballsy move from Apple. Does the company really want WikiLeaks 'hacktivists', so enraged by the site's treatment from the online gatekeepers in recent weeks, snooping around the Cupertino servers and potentially uncovering some embarrassing secrets?
The app hadn't exactly garnered top reviews, with many downloaders criticising it for a lack of depth, but that doesn't alter the fact. Apple has joined the growing number of highly influential web bods to declare war on WikiLeaks.

| Gran Turismo 5 update brings new online game modes Posted: 21 Dec 2010 02:50 AM PST GT5 on the receiving end of 608MB update Following a delay hit launch further rocked by a number of emerging issues, ultimate racing simulator Gran Turismo 5 is to be on the receiving end of a hefty update, developer Polyphony Digital has announced.
Available now, Gran Turismo 5 update 1.05 will fill users’ hard drives with 608MB of driving enhancing goodness with new online racing modes, dealerships and rewards points systems set to be introduced to the PS3 exclusive title.

A new Online Dealership will also offer users the chance to find a variety of popular and rare used vehicles which they are struggling to locate through their own offline dealerships.
Other features introduced by update 1.05 include a new rewards and experience points system for online modes, the renaming of the Red Bull branded prototype vehicle Red Bull X1 to the Red Bull X2010, and a new race information display.
With a full list of GT5 update 1.05 additions outline on the official GT5 website here, we want to know what features you think are still missing from the Polyphony produced racing release? Let us know via the T3 Twitter and Facebook feeds.

| Motorola Tablet video: Android Honeycomb primed for CES Posted: 21 Dec 2010 02:39 AM PST New tablet set for unveiling at January tech expo Motorola seems to be fairly confident in its upcoming tablet device, as its splashed out some serious cash on a teaser video that in the same breath calls the iPad “a big iPhone” and slates the Samsung Galaxy Tab for running an OS designed for a phone.
The video is a teaser, priming the audience for a grand tablet unveiling at January’s CES. That’s about all we know at the moment – Moto is keeping things literally under wraps – but we do know that the crux of the new device’s USP will be its use of the Android 3.0 operating system.
