Want to know what's been hot in the world of technology and gadgets today?

All news today in the roundup (no reviews) and it's a bit of a mixed bag. Topping the news roundup chart is the story that Sky Player will be delayed on Xbox, with a launch now being planned for Wednesday.

Home cinema fans will be interested to hear that Denon has launched a new Blu-ray player, the DBP-4010UD, whilst rumours for an Apple tablet are strengthened by the Sydney Morning Herald reporting that specifications have apparently being sent to Australian media companies.

Phone news comes in the form of the HTC Touch Diamond2 getting an upgrade from Windows Mobile 6.1 to 6.5 and a developer scheme from Samsung and Handmark for games on next-gen phones.

However, the main headline is that Verizon has officially announced the Motorola Droid which packs in lot, though whether it can deliver the user experience of an iPhone remains to be seen, but as ever Pocket-lint will keep you posted.
