I'm a long term fan of Apple and have owned an iPhone in each of its various guises. With new research released today, it seems the UK has started to favour Google's Android platform (with 28% of the marketshare) over Apple's iPhone (26%).

If you're an iPhone fan you'll no doubt be wondering what Apple have got in store for the impending (well, at some point this year) release of the iPhone 5. French designers Nowhere Else came up with a neat little infographic about the iPhone 5 rumor mill which you can see on Mashable here.

5. A Music Monday recommendation on Tuesday.
One of the finest pop vocalists to come out of London released her debut album yesterday. Yes, we're of course talking about Rinse FM's Katy B. Her sensational debut single 'Katy on a Mission' caused a storm when it was released last August, as did the follow up 'Lights On' featuring Ms. Dynamite.
Read Pitchfork's review of 'On a Mission' and if you want to grab a copy of the album you can purchase it here from iTunes, Amazon or HMV.
