News@8

Welcome to your nightly round-up of the day's news and goings on courtesy of T3.com.

No prizes for guessing today's top story: at Apple stores across the States today, folks have been lining up in their thousands to get their mitts on Apple's latest wunder-gadget, the iPad 2, despite reports that Apple's share of the tablet market has dropped to 73% in the wake of the Android onslaught. The first iPad 2s went on sale at 5pm UK time, so keep your browser pointed toward T3.com over the weekend for all the breaking news. Meanwhile, you can check out our exclusive hands-on video below.

Apple fans were further spoiled today by the leaking of several blueprints reportedly showing off the case of the iPhone 5. Real or bogus, those rumours about the next-gen iPhone and its enlarged screen are beginning to pick up some traction...

The Sony Next Generation Platform (or PSP2, as it was previously known) took another shaky step along the road to release with a rumoured November launch date. If the whispering of the internet is to be believed, the NGP will be released simultaneously in all markets in time for Christmas this year.

Also in Sony gaming, the shipment of PS3s that have been sitting under legal lock and key in Holland after LG's claims that Sony pilfered its Blu-Ray technology have been released. LG are said to by paying Sony 130,000 Euros by way of compensation as well as facing hefty fines for any reticence in payments.

And finally, don't let yourself be distracted by the release of the iPad 2 and leaked iPhone 5 design images. No, the real Apple question on everyone's lips is: "when can I snag myself a white iPhone 4?" OK, not really, but just for those three people still itching for the white version of a near-year-old mobile, the alabaster iPhone 4 apparently on its way next month.
