Tesco inadvertantly supplied GAME stores with stocks of the Nintendo 3DS over launch weekend as GAME staff took cash from the register to buy consoles from the supermarket chain. Staff were encouraged to get buying so that they could then sell them on as Pre-Owned for even more than they'd paid at Tesco, how cheeky.

While more and more new handsets are including the chip, MasterCard has created an NFC-embedded SIM card. The SIM card could effectively turn any GSM phone into a wallet-replacement even if your handset is stuck in the dark ages. Now all we need is for somewhere to spend our virtual cash.
Jawbone has released another of its visually appealing Bluetooth headsets. The Jawbone ERA manages to cram in multiple processors, motion controls, HD audio and an "app platform" to help you to be the working man that can. Blackberry, the previous best friend of the businessman has announced today that the Playbook tablet will not have native calendar, contacts or email applications at launch.
