Let’s face it, there are far more worldwide events than international journalist to cover them. Realizing this deficiency, CNN has teamed up with Nokia to deliver rich mapping for its mobile news. Armed with location data and highly-detailed maps, the new CNN app allows users to submit submitted stories, turning Nokia smartphones into real-time reporting tools. Simply snap a photo or capture video and submit an iReport to begin.

What a fitting product to remember the day by! While previous royal weddings have seen tie-in tea trays and biscuit tins, it is only natural that a royal wedding in the “age of the information super highway” be marked by this: a high-tech personal telephone. Should one part with ones’ hard earned gentry government hand out for one? Let us investigate.
Roll up roll up, we’ve got a lock-up full of Kate and Wills gadget tat that would have even the most ardent royalist turning up one’s nose at it. And who are the main culprits, so you can shun everything they ever make as penance for subjecting us to this trash? Read on and find out.
The Royal Wedding is approaching like a posh Godzilla wearing a veil and like any good monster it aims to crush everything in its wake. The nuptials of William “with-the-huge-forehead” Wales and Kate “call me Catherine” Middleton will be the first royal wedding to be offered up as an iTunes download.
Frighteningly, the recording will be made available as soon as the ceremony ends. That’ll be the cue for the old folk who buy commemorative plates and thousands of royalty mad Americans to click buy like their lives depend on it. And they must be stopped!

Yesterday we reported on the possibility that the royal wedding, date now set for April 29, will be shown on 3D TV, after rumours of talks between the BBC and Sky. We asked whether you, the subjects of this fair kingdom, want to see the royal wedding on 3D TV.

After the slightly troubling/exciting news (depending on which way you look at it) that there are plans afoot at Sky and the BBC to broadcast the royal wedding in 3D, we want to know whether you, the people, actually want to see the wedding on 3D TV. Do we really want to see Wills and Kate dressed up to the nines, dripping in jewels, and popping out of the screen at us? Click and tell…
A royal wedding 3D TV broadcast could be coming our way if plans within Sky and BBC come to fruition. Sources within both the public service broadcaster and Sky suggest the organisations are weighing up whether to roll out 3D royal wedding shows next year. But what will those whispers turn into in reality? Here’s what we know so far…
