The Panasonic DMC-GF2 is the Japanese gadget giant’s next play against Olympus in the battle for the best dinky Micro Four Thirds camera.

Yesterday we did a quick straw poll to ask how many of you, our readers, were planning to leave T-Mobile at the end of your contract, or if any of you had jumped ship already in the data debacle. To our surprise, 57 per cent of you said you were going to leave T-Mobile, and a whopping 31 per cent said that you had already jumped ship. While intentions might ultimately lead to users staying, given the incentives mobile networks offer, it’s a strong indicator of the opinion of T-Mobile users after the blunder. Only 8 per cent of readers who voted said that you were happy on T-Mobile, and used less than 500MB a month, and only 4 per cent said that you were happy to pay extra for data.

At CES 2011 we saw some of the first dual core smartphones announced. Headed to our shores is the Motorola Atrix, which has enough muscle to power a laptop dock, and the LG Optimus 2X. If we’re lucky we might also get a look in with a UK friendly version of the Samsung Infuse 4G. But do you want a super powered smartphone? Click and tell…
This week, fair usage policies have come under the spotlight. T-Mobile made a major blunder, and capped its fair usage policy for new, upgrading and existing users. This angered T-Mobile customers, in particular, the ones who were getting their data allowance rolled back mid-contract, some of them by a fair chunk. After a swift backlash, and the realisation it was breaking the law, T-Mobile did a U-turn within two days of the original announcement.
We’re nearing the end of the week, but the must read news doesn’t stop for “weekends” and the like. Luckily we’re on hand plucking out the juiciest stories from the stream this lunchtime, so read on to see what they are. Let’s do this.
