Demon aims to delight British gamers with ‘very low latency,’ traffic-prioritizing broadband service
That you must well be a pro at getting virtual headshots, but without a respectable internet connection, your shooting is solely pretty much as good as a baby weeing aimlessly at the ceiling. As such, Demon -- which could or might not be a hint concerning the operator -- reckons some obsessed gamers wouldn't mind ...

British retailer outs HTC Desire Z, confirms Desire HD again

British network ITV responds to Apple iTV rumor, says it has ‘vigorously defended’ its IP before
This probably shouldn't come as an immense surprise, but British television network ITV has responded to the rumor that Apple plans to rename the Apple TV as... iTV. Now, Apple's no stranger to using names which might be already trademarked -- when you'll recall, Fujitsu used to own iPad and Cisco owned iPhone before ...

Taranis: The $214 million unmanned stealth fighter that proves it’s better if it’s British
No, this aircraft most certainly isn’t as green as the Solar Impulse, but that doesn’t mean it’s not pretty amazing. It’s called, quite modestly, Taranis. It costs around $214 million, and it’s pretty much the pinnacle of stealth flight. Taranis is the handiwork of BAE Systems, a British defense company, proving the old adage once and ...

Standard Charted Allows Users To Switch From BlackBerry To iPhone
In what is certainly disappointing news for RIM, British Bank Standard Charted has allowed its workers to switch over from the BlackBerry to the iPhone, as the bank is in the midst of converting its global email system and is even offering to cover the iPhone service costs of staff that need a smartphone for work. This is one of the largest corporate expansions to support Apple’s iPhone, and will certainly delight the folks over at Apple. While the iPhone supports push email like the BlackBerry, many companies are often concerned over its security, which still trails the BlackBerry, not to mention having to manage apps through iTunes servers. Of course, the recent number of email outages by RIM can’t have helped this case either, not to mention the increasing popularity of the iPhone. Is your company forcing you to use a BlackBerry or iPhone? How do you feel about it?

Pip-pip, OnLive reaches agreement with BT, launching in Europe eventually
digg_url = ‘http://digg.com/gaming_news/OnLive_reaches_agreement_with_BT_launching_in_Europe’; We’re still about a month away from OnLive dropping the green flag for American gamers who want to stream their games over the internets, but already the company is looking to colonize. It has reached an agreement with BT that sees the artist formerly known as British Telecom acquiring a 2.6 percent stake in exchange for exclusive rights to bundle the OnLive service with broadband packages. However, this startup doesn’t like to be tied down, so will still be offering its unique abilities on the side to anyone with a fat enough pipe — that’s download speeds, dig? OnLive isn’t saying exactly when its service will launch in the UK (or anywhere else in Europe, for that matter), just that the company is “completely focused” on the US release first. As well it should be; it has some mighty skeptical gamers to win over.

Samsung P580 business laptop hands-on
Boy, Samsung’s been keeping us busy today — in addition to the Q330 and Q530, the company was also showing the P580 business laptop at the British Museum today. The particular unit we played with had a vibrant 15.6-inch 1,366 x 768 matte screen, although a higher resolution and greater viewing angle would’ve made it a prettier package. To our further disappointment, the keyboard was nowhere as good as the Q-series’ chiclet offering — we kept pressing neighboring keys by accident, and the spacebar’s right-hand side often failed to pick up our input. An isolated issue? Only time will tell — you guys might have better luck when this bad boy eventually arrives in the stores.

Samsung U200 all-in-one desktop hands-on
Here’s another exhibit that we could (literally) touch at the British Museum today — Samsung’s new all-in-one touchscreen PC, the U200. We won’t go into another pixel density rant about the 20-inch, but the colors and optical touch sensitivity were good. As for the keyboard, it seemed to have similar issues we dealt with on the P580 laptop, but at least you can just throw it out and get a better one with the U200. Anyhow, help yourself to the rest of our hands-on photos.

Google brings free turn-by-turn Navigation to UK Androids (updated)
digg_url = ‘http://digg.com/gadgets/Google_Maps_Navigation_4_1_1_Beta_now_working_on_UK_Androids’; Talk about random gifts from the ether. British Android device owners are waking up this morning to discover their robot-themed operating system has gone and upgraded itself overnight. We’ve confirmed for ourselves that Google Maps Navigation — yes, the free turn-by-turn stuff with voice directions — has made its fully functional way across the Atlantic. This is the 4.1.1 Beta released on April 6 to US customers, but as we say, it’s now working over in Blighty as well. We’ve tested it out on a Desire and Nexus One from HTC, with the latter offering the extra-cool option to orally instruct your Google search bar to “navigate to” your destination. Check out the gallery below for some visual edification.
[Thanks, Tes]
Update: We’re now also sure the full Navigation service works on at least some Android 1.6 devices, such as the Dell Mini 5 and a reported Sony Ericsson X10 success over on the xda-developers thread.
Update 2: Numerous users have reported successfully using turn-by-turn Navigation on the 4.1.0 version, leading us to believe that the capability was in the Google Maps app all along and it’s only now that the company has chosen to activate it. If you aren’t yet on board, direct your Android 1.6 or above device to the Android Market and get navigating.

Rumor: Google Music Hasn’t Signed Any Labels Yet [Google]There's an exceedingly attractive job going at Google, with the company looking for someone to move up its Music launch later this year. Meanwhile, Android dude Andy Rubin is working with the team closely, and even meeting with record labels. Why Rubin? Well, we was the brains behind Android (with Google buying Android from him and hiring him in 2005), and it's believed their Music
