We’re halfway through the day, the week, and the news. There’s been plenty happening this morning, if you’ve missed out on anything you can catch it all here in our lunchtime rundown of all the big stories. Don’t grab a sarnie without it.
Apple TV’s Bluetooth abilities are about to be switched on, according to people rummaging around in the depths of the device’s code. That means control via your iPhone, dual screen gaming like the Wii U, and much much more. Apple’s “hobby”, as Tim Cook referred to it, is about to get serious.
RIM may be having a tough time of it recently, but BlackBerry is still in second place in UK market share, according to research. Android is out in front, and iPhone third. It’s those teens with their BBM that are doing it, apparently.
Speaking of Android, its Market app store has a new look, and it’s decidedly Windows Phone 7 in appearance. You’ll need a handset running Froyo 2.2 or later to see it.
Speaking of Windows Phone 7, meanwhile, you won’t be seeing a tablet running the Microsoft OS, according to spokespeople at the company. Tablets are PCs, according to them, so instead Windows 8 tablets are where it’s at, they say.
Speaking of Windows 8 (sorry, we’ll stop now), a new rumour suggests it’ll run Xbox 360 games. Wha? Read the full story to see what that one’s all about.
