Most popular with V3.co.uk readers this week has been the unveiling of the second Android-based handset from T-Mobile. Following on from the G1, the myTouch 3G sports a 3.5in touch-screen and will feature a new preference tool called Sherpa, which automatically suggests locations, sites and applications based on user interests.
The other big news of the week was Microsoft announcing retail prices for Windows 7, due to ship on 22 October. For those willing to pre-order, the Home Premium and Professional versions will be available for a "substantial discount " at £49.99 and £99.99 respectively.
HP also announced it is planning to offer free Windows 7 upgrades for business and consumer models purchased between 25 June and 22 October.
