The big story with V3.co.uk readers this week concerned the growing number of apps developers turning their back on Apple because of its somewhat erratic approvals process.

The scandal of the week, meanwhile, was the news that workers at T-Mobile had been earning a bit of extra cash by selling customer data, much to the annoyance of the Information Commissioner, who has already started making arrests.

The latest gossip about Google also proved popular, this time about a much-rumoured smartphone apparently due next year.
