Sonys Xperia Tablet Z And Two Other Stories You Need to Know

Welcome to this morning's edition of "First To Know," a series in which we keep you in the loop on what's happening in the digital world.

Today, we're looking at three particularly interesting stories. Sony has launched the Xperia Tablet Z, possibly the world's thinnest and lightest 10.1-inch tablet. Eric Schmidt's daughter Sophie Schmidt has given a very interesting account of their widely criticized trip to North Korea, and a Dutch architect wants to create a 3D-printed home by 2014.

Check out the video above for more on these stories.
