Gran Turismo 5's release has given the PlayStation 3 a mighty nudge in sales as retailers hurtle towards Christmas according to David Wilson, Head of PR at Sony, who has said the game will help cement one of their "strongest years" in history. As if to prove Sony’s bold assertion, the newly released Gran Turismo 5 has raced ahead and knocked Call of Duty: Black Ops off its pedestal as the UK’s most popular game. However, after a series of technical glitches in its first week, the game could only boast sixth position in the all-time list of PS3 launches.

Microsoft has patented technology to allow Braille-capable touchscreens. Although details are still unclear, it is thought the technology will be aimed at larger smartphone devices, with Braille eReaders another possibility.

Pinch to zoom and a snazzy trackpad which can handle touchscreen swipes have been mooted.

Orange has unveiled its iPad contract prices. For starters, the 16GB Wi-Fi + 3G model has had a whopping £330 taken off its RRP.

Sharp’s Galapagos tablet comes in two versions, the 5.5-inch Mobile and 10.8- inch Home. There’s no word on when they will hit Blighty but pricing is said to be very competitive.
