Microsoft has pulled the covers of the first Windows Phone 7 ad and boy are those lads and ladies over in Richmond classy. Remember the frighteningly stalky Microsoft Kin advert where a cute girl met her odd Facebook stalker? No, we don’t blame you. You can watch it here.

EA’s latest instalment in the long-running Medal of Honor series is notable for two things: firstly, it’s a dramatic reboot of the franchise, moving the action from 1940s Europe to modern-day Afghanistan, and secondly, it’s caused more controversy than a Lady Gaga outfit.

Medal of Honor is the video game equivalent of kicking a rather large hornet’s nest with a size 12 Doc Martens boot. The game has been making headlines well before it was even due on the shelves, with political and military leaders voicing concerns over EA’s hunger to be as authentic as possible. But is all this fuss and hysteria really justified?

Stephen Fry is like everyone’s favourite uncle. A national treasure ™. The uber-gadget fan. But there’s one thing he’s not: a tech prophet. As he bounded onstage yesterday at London’s Windows Phone 7 event, I couldn’t help thinking: oh not again. I know he just can’t resist the lure of the shiny new kit, it’s an understandable feeling – everyone here at Electricpig HQ has experienced it. But Stephen Fry is turning into a PR tool in every sense of the word, rolled out by firms to deploy quips and that’s just a crying shame…
The HTC Desire Z gives the uber-geeky design of the T-Mobile G1 a magnificent makeover. It keeps the pull out landscape QWERTY keyboard for pounding out emails, but upgrades to a glorious WVGA, 3.7-inch LCD touchscreen, Android 2.2. Froyo with Flash support, a five megapixel camera and a seriously nippy 800MHz processor. Continuously updated.
