Tech Weekly: Review of 2010

posted: 2 years ago

Tech Weekly: Review of 2010This week's programme is an established tradition for this time of year – the Tech Weekly review. Not only that, but this is our third anniversary programme, so happy birthday to us.

Joining Jemima Kiss in the studio is the Guardian's games correspondent Keith Stuart, and PaidContent's UK Editor Robert Andrews.

There's a lot to talk about. We hear how Google and Apple have both had mixed years – the former with the Android OS and it's problems with Street View, and the latter with the launch of the iPad and the storm over the iPhone "antennagate" death grip.

We also get into highlights from the games industry – in a year that's seen a number of big titles including Call of Duty and Halo sequels, plus a clutch of new motion control hardware.

There were a number of significant political developments in the tech world in 2010 – Google's dance with China over it's search operation there, the passing of the Digital Economy Bill into an act, support from the coalition for a "Tech City" in London, and the failure to land tax breaks for the video game industry.

We also look at Microsoft's success with Windows Phone 7, and what happened to Bebo.

Next week we'll be back with our predictions for 2011.

Five of the Best

Things we love, things we want, things we want to do, and things we think are just cool, interesting, or at least noteworthy.

  1. If you wish you lived in a luxurious, hip barns like we do, then you'll want to click here to find out about renting one for a self-catering holiday.
  2. We haven't exactly fact-checked this Abercrombie & Fitch slam, but we're certainly open to it (and think you should be, too).
  3. Yes, you fine young thing, this pop up supper club at the Sanderson is exactly where you need to be dining on the weekends in May and June.
  4. Hold on tight, folks: 24 is returning as a 12-part mini-series next summer.
  5. We might tire of this chandelier after one night, but no doubt, it would be an interesting night.
