Recently you may have seen the Phonebloks idea, which basically involved a lego-style phone that you connected together and replaced depending on what you wanted or what had broken. Repairing phones, even though they cost as much as your TV, usually means a direct swap of your handset …
Today the team responsible for Google+ are preparing to announce their big update. Vic Gundotra, Senior VP of Social Business for Google, has been keeping us updated on preparations and there’s a Twitter hashtag of #momentsthatmatter. Not only that, but it looks like the Play Store itself is …
Let’s face it, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is the new flagship for Samsung. No longer does the Galaxy S range sit at the top of the pile. With the original Note it was very similar to the S2, with only the screen size and the design being …

Since Google killed off their own RSS service third party apps and services for keeping up on your RSS feeds have been regularly cropping up. The latest being Flyne, it’s by the developer who made the hugely popular Falcon Pro Twitter app. Flyne acts as an aggregator for …
So, you don’t want to go for an ultra-cheap-bargain-basement tablet but, at the same time, you don’t want to get utterly fleeced buying a top-end tablet. What about the Google Nexus 7 we reviewed? Fancy that? How about bagging one for less than £180? How’s that sound to …
Phablets, or just ‘big phones’ if you prefer, aren’t normally associated with great cameras, but the flagship models from both Samsung and LG both have fairly capably 13mp shooters. Therefore, it would be fairly rude not to compare them. Some stand out specifications are as follows Note3 13mp …
I was never a stickler for official cases. I never understood why I would pay over the odds for something I could buy somewhere else that would probably be just as good and a lot cheaper. When I got the chance to try out the official S4 mini …
During our Ascend P2 review I wanted to show off the stabilization technology that is build into the camera. It’s a feature that may be build into your phone but I wanted to show just how much it helps to smooth your footage. So, I had a think …

Popular twitter account @evleaks has just posted a press photo of a white Nexus 5 with the words ‘in white 11/1’. Now, if you look at that date in UK format it’ll mean 1st November … With so many leaks of this device, we were hoping to have …
As you know, I’m a professional and well regarded blogger / reporter. The people from The Telegraph come to me when they want advice on how to cover the news y’know. However, I do also love things that are a bit bonkers and “out there”. This then, is …
Nearly all the Angry Birds apps (apart from Angry Birds Space and Angry Birds Seasons) are now showing as free on the Windows Phone store. You can now get Angry Birds Star Wars and Angry Birds Star Wars II (although both are confusingly listed as just “Angry Birds …

It’s daft really. When you think of the infrastructure that Google have at their disposal, to say that servers are down seems a bit bonkers. In reality there was some sort of issue with a section of the Google system, probably due to the Skynet being enabled. Don’t …
The LG Fireweb has been unveiled online but woahaaa, slow down there cowboy, because this isn’t an Android handset, it’s powered by Firefox OS 1.1. Mozilla have only just released the new version of their OS (which we saw in version 1.0 back in February) and, according to …
40 Million. That’s a big number. It’s pretty much the population of Argentina. Imagine, if you will, 40 million people. Got that? Now imagine them holding something. Something plastic. It’s a Galaxy S4. Samsung have, according to inews24, offloaded this many in just 6 months. We’ve just done …
Everyone loves shooting zombies right? Someone surely made this a rule a few years ago, personally I think it’s all Danny Boyle’s fault. But if your a big zombie shoot-em-up fan then you’re going to be busy today. The original was a big hit, with millions and millions …
Chrome Browser for Android is part of my life, it’s part of many people’s lives no doubt. Google Keep adding new features and pushing the browser ever onwards. Today’s update adds a quick way to switch between open tabs. To move between tabs you just swipe across the …
The LG G2 is one of the best phones this year, and on checking T-Mobile, Orange and the EE websites, there is still mention of this phone online. At present only Three and O2 were confirmed to stock it (and already have it on sale)……. well …. that’s …
The Huawei Ascend P2 was a device we first spotted back in Barcelona some months ago and, finally, it’s here. Inside there’s some pretty decent specs. Decent? No, that’s not the right word. Very good. Firstly you have that 4.7″ 720×1280 pixel screen. Resolution is great – the …
Not so much a leak this one. Perhaps more of a complete and utter waterfall of bendy LG action. Either way, the curvy creature has somehow found its way onto Argentinian TV with yet more photos appearing along with this professional TV appearance.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1SNEEYtP2k&feature=youtube_gdata_player The screen, apparently, is …
Online dating doesn’t have the stigma it maybe once had, and many dating websites are trying new things to differentiate themselves. Carrot Dating has Android and iPhone apps and their idea is definitely “different”. It’s begins with the usual steps. You sign up and tell the app your …

When Samsung announced the Galaxy Note 3, the Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 edition) and the Galaxy Gear they basically said that if you wanted to use their fancy new Smartwatch you’d have to buy one of their fancy new devices, understandably Galaxy S4 and Note II owners were …

Every now and again a game comes along that raises curiosity levels to maximum and today’s emails have revealed one such game. Perhaps unsurprisingly you get to play the role of stuntman Eddie in order to perform jumps and stunts and gain as many points as possible whilst …
Nokia World is happening over in Abu Dhabi this morning, Nokia have announced a variety of new devices and one of them is the brightly coloured Lumia 2520 tablet. It’s an odd device that I struggle to understand as to its existence. What with the dire performance of …
Nokia World in Abu Dhabi happened this morning, Nokia have announced a variety of new devices and one of them is the rather large Lumia 1520. It seems to be like a larger higher spec version of the Lumia 925. Complete with Snapdragon 800 quad core processor and …

Remember when we all watched those big TV’s? They were big, heavy and you had to get two people just to carry the thing. Remember teletext? Oh how we laughed…. In those old days we used something called “BBM” which people, who owned BlackBerry handsets, used to communicate …
All the surprises are being taken away from Nokia fans ahead of tomorrows big device announcement event, it seems, because leaky old Twitterer @evleaks has gone and dropped a couple of images of the new 1320 phablet (previously known as ‘Batman’). Whilst we really don’t know exactly where …
The last few weeks have been interesting, I’ve been using the GOCLEVER FONE 570Q phablet as one of my main devices and it’s about time for the main review. My initial impressions are here if you’re interested. The GOCLEVER is one of those devices that look identical to …
The Nokia Guru is apparently an MP3 player made by Nokia and no doubt deeply tied into the Nokia Music and Xbox Music services. Regular source of leaks @evleaks has posted an image of the Guru, which I guess will be announced at Nokia World in Abu Dhabi …
