The week kicked off with news that LG's new Black Label handset will launch in June, and it'll be the world's slimmest 5-megapixel blower. But it's still so secret they won't tell us its name. With the heritage of Chocolate and Shine phones, we're guessing it'll be something equally catchy. Maybe the Fudge?
95% of 18-24 year-olds copy music apparently. Not so surprising considering they consider burning CDs to MP3 copying. In other news, the Pope is Catholic and bears defecate in wooded areas.
Bloody hell - the Internet is full! Well, very nearly. With YouTube taking up as much bandwidth as the entire web in the year 2000, we could soon have information spilling out from our monitors, it's so rammed. Careful what you look at, now.
3D TV will be in the UK in the next three months, according to our mole in South Korea. When Samsung's invade-o-sets go on sale, they'll turn every lounge into a veritable futuristic theme park. Again, careful what you watch.
Nokia's Tube handset has also been revealed, looking rather like a certain phone made by a certain well-known computer manufacturer. That's right, the Toshiba Portege G500! No, just kidding. It's a dead ringer for the iPhone. But it'll run Nozza's S60 Symbian OS, apparently. Should chuck some mud on Apple's Sunday Best.
The Xbox 360 may very well be getting a Wii-style remote. Because it shouldn't only be Nintendo players who can smash windows with flung controllers. And speaking of the Wii, you can now get BBC's iPlayer catchup TV service through your Wii, so you can watch it on your plasma rather than your laptop screen. Ace.
Staying with tellies (in a broad sense), TV streaming could be coming to the iPhone soon, meaning Quincy repeats easing you into an afternoon in the office. And combining almost all the news stories of the past week, you'll soon be able to control your Blu-Ray player from your iPhone. Phew.
Bizarre story of the week: Sanyo's Japanese satnav that flags up high car crime areas by colouring them red. So you need never park near that dodgy pub again...
