NVIDIA unveiled 3D Vision 2 recently. We just announced NVIDIA 3DVision 2 at GeForce LAN 6, but the new displays and wireless glasses aren’t quite yet available for public consumption. To hold you over, here’s a quick preview of what you can expect from the next generation of hardware optimized for NVIDIA’s 3DVision technology. Coverage on Anandtech, TomsHardware, LegitReviews, HotHardware and PC Perspective.

Simon pointed out that Google are experimenting with using WebGL for Google Maps.

Meanwhile Samsung are trying to block sales of the new iPhone in Australia. Samsung has filed for immediate injunctions on the sale of the iPhone 4S in Australia and Japan, expanding its global counter-attack against Apple. The Korean electronics giant previously requested injunctions be placed on sales of Apple's fifth-generation smartphone in France and Italy, with claims filed a day after the product was announced.
