First Samsung Android phone out next week

Bum

I was waiting for this handset to appear on T-mobile so that I could take advantage of one of their cheap "unlimited" data tarriffs with it.

Panasonic demands 1080p 3D TV 'standard'

Freesat launches in UK

hopefully even if nothing else good comes of this it will encourage Sky to drop the £10/month HD tax (after you've already shelled out on their HD box)

BBC iPlayer finally hits the streets

Argh no not kontiki!

Break Up Sky Now

Sky should be broken into two separate companies one to create content and one to distribute it.

The content provider should have to sell its channels transparently to any platform (cable/satellite/freeview/mobile) that wishes to take it.

Sky is abusing its power here and should be stopped by ofcom or the monopolies commission.
