Lunchtime Lowdown: Canon EOS 5D Mark II is official, LittleBigPlanet hitting the shops early, “Made for iPod” logo not entirely accurate

It’s 1pm and my stomach is growling like a junkyard dog - which means it’s once again time to skip merrily through the morning’s biggest stories. Yes, it’s the Lunchtime Lowdown!

The top story so far has got to be the official launch of the Canon EOS 5D Mark II - yep, the classic high-end DSLR just got a long awaited update, and it’s glorious. And trust us when we say that - because we’ve touched it. With our hands and everything.

The PS3 may be the most delay-prone console in history, but LittleBigPlanet is set to buck the trend by coming out early. And the UK is getting it five days before the rest of Europe!

But it’s not all good news, no sir. It seems that the famed “Made for iPod” logo used by third-party iPod accessory-makers is not the cast iron guarantee of compatibility it once was - and it’s all thanks to the new iPod nano and touch models. Read more on this sorry tale of iPod fussiness here.

If that little lot doesn’t sate your tech appetite, head over to the homepage for the rest of the day’s news. TTFN.
