Greetings weekenders. It’s time to stop working. But just before you go out do check out all the latest top tech stories you may have missed this week, right here. New handsets, new apps, new operating systems and the latest gaming news – it’s all here.

It’s been a busy week at Electricpig towers. As well as new Windows Phone 7 launches, and the myriad of handsets that came with it we’ve rounded up all the best stories to land on the site this week.

But before you hit up the links below, don’t forget to take part in the Electricpig Reader survey 2010. It’s your best way to tell us how we can be better. You could even win a shiny Electricpig-branded mug.

HTC Windows Phone 7 launch: 5 headed to the UK
A whole heap of Windows Phone 7 phones were launched during the week, including 5 from HTC. Hit the link above to learn more, or hit this link to grab the latest Windows Phone 7 news.

Yahoo Messenger iPhone to desktop calls: Better than FaceTime?
A new Yahoo Messenger app offers 3G or Wi-Fi video calls between a Mac or PC and your iPhone for free from the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 3GS. Hit the link for the full story.

Palm Pre 2 specs outed
The Palm Pre 2 will be much faster than its predecessor, packing in a 1GHz processor and 512MB RAM, compared the original’s 600MHz and 256MB. Phew!

Would you buy this iPad 2 concept?
It’s not the most original looking concept, but even then, it could be a glimpse of iPad 2 (or whatever it will be called). And yes, it has a camera, and it’s white.

Gran Turismo 5 delayed yet again
You know the drill here. That’s because you’ve read this story over, and over, and over again. C’mon Sony, Polyphony Digital! What’s going on. We’ve given up trying to predict a firm release for what will remain a highly awaited racing title. Sony says this “holiday season”. Hmm…

iPhone 4 breaks more than iPhone 3GS?
We’re not making wild accusations. That just happens to be the claim of SquareTrade. According to their data almost twice as many iPhone 4 users have reported accidental damage in their first four months of owning an iPhone 4 than iPhone 3GS owners in the same period.

Lovefilm PS3 streaming out this year, details here
PS3 owners will be able to steam movies already available for free for subscribers. There won’t be HD streaming, but we’re promised that you’ll be surprised at the picture quality.

Why is Apple’s new OS named after a Lion?
Apple looks set to reveal OS X 10.7 Lion next week, but what’s in its name. Editor, James Holland attempts to answer this very question.

Samsung Wave 2 shows up
Samsung has announced the Samsung Wave II running Bada 1.2 and sporting a 3.7-inch WVGA LCD careen, 2GB of internal storage and a microSD slot with a potential storage increase of up to 32GB.

The very controversial Medal of Honor gets reviewed
Sidestepping the controversy over the inclusion of the Taliban as a playable side (renamed Opposing Force), Medal of Honor actually scored well in our review, notching four stars.

Sony’s Google TV packing set
This Sony Internet TV looks absolutely gorgeous, ranging from a 26-46-inch version. Shame about that remote though. It looks like the control deck of an international space station.
