UPDATE: An Orange spokesperson declined to comment on the Samsung Galaxy Apollo, beyond informing us that “more details on this announcement will be provided in due course.” Looks like this ad ran a wee bit early!

The Samsung Galaxy Apollo is a brand new Android phone for the UK that appears to have been slipped in stealthily while the turbo charged Galaxy S has been grabbing all the headlines. It’s an Orange exclusive, but sadly, it’s not the high flying M100S phone other sites have been reporting it as.

Microsoft Kinect has been unveiled as the final name for the motion-sensing controller we’ve come to know and sort-of-love as Natal. At a circus-themed E3 event, Microsoft Kinect was introduced to the world with a first glimpse of its full potential but some rather important details omitted.

Our Sony NEX-5 review went live on Friday, complete with HD video samples to check out, and it was every bit as good as we hoped. Thought it’s not quite the same system as Micro Four Thirds used in our beloved Olympus PEN line (E-P1, E-P2 and E-PL1), it’s crashing the exact same market for slimline snappers with interchangeable lenses. But which are you backing? Sony’s tiny body and DSLR sensor, or the retro aesthetics and wide lens range for the Olympus PEN line? Tell us!

With the iPhone 4 now set to go on sale with all five major networks later this month, we thought we’d ask you who you’re most likely to plump for – especially since prices could be very similar across the board, if the roll out of the iPhone 3GS on Orange and Vodafone is anything to go by. Original iPhone exclusive network O2 came in first in yesterday’s poll, but perhaps more surprising was the runner up, Three.
