Some of our readers will remember the fun Star Wars Lightsaber iPhone app, that turns your iPhone into a Lightsaber. It looks like THQ Wireless will be releasing a new version next month called the Star Wars Lightsaber Duel iPhone App.
As the name suggests, the app will turn your iPhone into a lightsaber and then you with be able to duel with your friends via Bluetooth.
Earlier in the month we told you about Google TV, which Google [GOOG] are currently developing. Initially it looked like it was going to be a search based service which was based on Google’s Android platform.
Google has teamed up with Sony and Intel, and the three companies will be releasing Google TV, which will basically be a TV with a built in computer that uses Intel chips and runs Google’s Android OS.
