The Chrome beta has been out for a few months now. In the past it was hard to see what the beta version actually offered over the normal version, but with last night’s update they’ve gone and added fullscreen browsing. Plus some other stuff of course. – Fullscreen …
The ZTE Geek has to be one of the strangest named devices I’ve seen. Yes most of us are all geeks and the name will appeal to some, surely they could have come up with something a little better, maybe “Grand S Memo IN” or something. ZTE have …
Do you have a massive head? When I say massive, I’m talking equine. If a Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 is too tiny for you, and the Huawei Ascend Mate won’t quite do it either, then the Asus Fonepad could be just the phablet you’re looking for. Yes, it’s …

The BlackBerry Q10 is the brother of the celebrated BlackBerry Z10 and it’s now available to pre-order at Carphone Warehouse. The Q10 is what you might call a more traditional BlackBerry. It’s got the familiar QWERTY keypad taking up half the handset and the screen occupies the rest. …

A while back I set about doing something a bit rash, I decided I was going to use exclusively Windows Phone and Windows RT in my day to day life. The plan was to ditch Android for a while and really get a feel for Windows Phone and …
Thinking of getting the Google Nexus 7? Well I’ve got one and I’d say go get one, for the price the specs and performance are second to none. I say get one but I also say wait till July if rumours from Reuters are to be believed, Google’s …
