Tech Weekly podcast: The launch of Wii U at E3, Apple's new iCloud for iOS 5

On Tech Weekly this week, Aleks Krotoski, Charles Arthur and Jemima Kiss are reunited after Jemima's self-imposed break from technology. And what a week to come back: the announcements are coming in thick and fast from the US west coast, where the Electronic Entertainment Expo and Apple's World Wide Developers Conference are under way.

Guardian video game correspondents Keith Stuart, Steve Boxer and Nick Cowen are on the floor at E3 in Los Angeles, delivering the dirt on the next generation equipment from Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony. Nintendo's next-generation Wii has been unveilled as the Wii U, and Keith has the analysis from Danny Bilson, head of THQ, and the Oliver twins – Andrew and Philip – of Blitz Games Studios. He's also got the latest on the Kinect interface. Sony's back from the brink, brushing away its year of controversy with new titles and a new handheld, the PlayStation Vita. And is EA's free 'Battlelog' the start of a social networking war in games?

Charles and Jemima break down the Apple announcements: is the new iCloud service as customer-centred as it's been made out to be? If it was in a fight with Google and Amazon, would it win? And what about the new iOS service: what does its reverse engineering of some of the most popular independently developed service apps (Dropbox, Instapaper, Remember The Milk) mean for the business models of the app developer community? Finally, what else is new about OS X Lion other than its iPod good looks?

Find out all this and more on this week's Tech Weekly.
