If you’re in the UK and haven’t caught on the 3D TV bandwagon then you can treat yourself to a 3D TV from Argos. With brand new models from Samsung, Sony and Panasonic, among many others, they have everything you need to upgrade your home entertainment center. Not only they look nice in your living room, they really change the entire experience of watching a movie in your own space.
In case you hadn’t heard, Apple released the latest version of OS X recently. As expected, the newfangled Mountain Lion operating system touts a number of added features — some of which bring it even closer in sync with iOS. In this week’s issue of our e-magazine, the beast steps out into the spotlight and we offer a word or two (a few thousand, to be exact) in our full-length review of the software. If the work of the folks in Cupertino isn’t exactly your cup of tea, we also give the new Outlook.com and T-Mo’s version of the Galaxy Note a close examination with the Engadget fine-toothed comb. HTC’s Eric Lin takes a shot at the Q&A, “This is the Modem World” discusses gadget smells, “Reaction Time” chats about blockbuster releases and “IRL” exposes more of the devices that we use on the regular. Trust us, you’ll want to get comfortable this time around. Kick your shoes off and head to your download link of choice to get started.

You asked, you pined and here it is — welcome to our first (but certainly not last) UK competition. To kick off proceedings, we have three of Sony’s latest flagship, the Xperia S, to offer up to our readers on the eastern side of the Atlantic. As it’s our first competition for Britons, we advise that you read up on the rules after the break, then just leave a comment below to enter.
Unfortunately, the adorable robot isn’t up for grabs in our giveaway (we asked), but if you manage to track down a similar automaton around the UK, Sony’s running a separate contest where you can net a free Xperia U in exchange — visit the more coverage links for hints. Good luck!

Here at Engadget HQ, we’re looking to take a bit of a breather after a long week of analyzing last quarter’s numbers. With that said, a road trip or weekend respite of some sort is definitely in order and this week’s edition of our e-magazine offers some insight into getting just a bit more out of that next excursion. Front and center, the globe trotting Darren Murph offers some tips for geotagging your shots from that next Blue Ridge Parkway trek and also takes Nokia Drive’s offline navigation for a spin on a Lumia 900. The super thin $1,400 Acer Aspire S5 and the sub-$100 Motorola Atrix HD each get in-depth reviews while “Hands-On” is overrun by some new shooters — including the much anticipated Canon EOS M. Fable: The Journey designer Ted Timmins takes his turn with Q&A, “Switched On” takes a look an Ouya, “Reaction Time” chats about pre-release secrecy and “IRL” has our personal gadget arsenals. That said, we’re taking some Friday solace in one of the download links below, where you can grab a brand spankin’ new issue of your very own.
