Highlights from this morning’s other huge tech headlines….

• The 3-D TV movement is rapidly gaining momentum and the excitement over the new technology is beginning to translate into real and tangible results. Panasonic has announced that it took only a single week for the company to sell its entire U.S. stock of 3-D TVs, and that it is already being forced to take pre-orders. [From: Bloomberg]
• Apparently Microsoft wasn’t paying attention (or perhaps it just didn’t care) when Apple endured extensive criticism over the iPhone’s lack of copy and paste abilities. According to Engadget, Microsoft has revealed that the Windows Phone 7 Series will not provide clipboard features, either. [From: Engadget]
• Google announced in January that it would be entering the Android smartphone race, and now Google’s Nexus One officially made the company’s Android lineup. The 3G-equipped AT&T model is available now at the Google phone store, where it costs an eye-popping $529. [From: Engadget]
• The mystery and ambiguity surrounding the future of Google China is beginning to take a toll on the site’s advertisers.

• Last fall, the Beatles actually surpassed Jesus in terms of Google popularity, but the religious icon still reigns supreme in the Apple Store. According to Gizmodo, the store lists thousands of various Bible apps, dwarfing the numbers of the Good Book’s nearest competitors. [From: Gizmodo]
• Even though enormously popular abroad, the music streaming service Spotify has remained unavailable on the Web in the U.S. Daniel Ek, the company’s CEO, announced at SXSW yesterday that the site will indeed be launching in the Says this year, though, and that the free subscription service will be similar to the highly successful European version.
