The Xperia Z is coming, and you can pre-order it right now. Better still, if you decide to put your name down on the Sony website you’ll receive some rather posh Sony MDR-1R headphones, and they’re worth £299. The headphones were created with my best mates – Katy …

The Nexus 7 brought respect to cheap Android tablets – good spec, latest OS and very reasonable price. This has forced other manufacturers to up their game a bit – and a good thing that is. With that in mind, Ebuyer have Sumvision’s Cyclone range at some very …
For years people have sat around listening to others chat about a varied range of topics on the radio. The invention of the podcast changed the way that many listen to such conversations and gave us the ability to hear said recordings where and whenever we want. Of …
The issues surrounding Google’s flagship Android Jellybean-touting handset are well documented. Google and LG have blamed each other for the worldwide shortage and customers have been left rather angry and miffed at the lack of ability to order the cut price handset. Well, various Play stores around the …
The phrase “cheap Android tablet” usually makes me shudder a little bit and then it makes me cross my fingers hoping I’m not forced to review one of the wretched things. Yesterday I got an interesting email, you know the sort you get from a company you once …

So, we’ve asked you why Siri isn’t missed on Android but there are still some very clever alternatives. We’ve covered one in particular – Speaktoit – a while back now, but they’ve recently had a pretty major overhaul. First up, there’s a new “teach” facility. You tell your …
It feels like not a day goes by when Samsung isn’t coming up with something to add to their Galaxy line of smartphones. They are pretty cool though. The latest addition is this new Galaxy Express, an international version of the AT&T handset already available in the states. Although not …
One of the big shocks when Surface came out, was how much room Windows RT itself took up in the device’s internal storage. Although the base model came with 32GB, half that was used up for the OS, giving only 16GB usable storage. And even that decreases with …
I love my MiFi, it’s an old unlocked unit I got on eBay a few years ago, I dig it out for days where I need my laptop out on the road. At times though it struggles to provide 2G speeds never mind 3G or even 4G. Maybe …
My wife loves the Galaxy SIII. Her only gripe, when we bought it, was that it was a bit too large. Sadly we purchased it just months before the SIII Mini appeared and now, if you’ve got some cash washing about after Christmas, you can get the blue …
I’m going to start with a sentence that makes me wonder where time had gone. Was it really only three years ago yesterday that Steve Jobs announced a product that would ultimately change the way we communicate? The answer is, of course, yes. Like the iPhone, there were …

Ok, I’m quite a Siri fan. Sure there are times when Google Now thrashes the pants off it, but it’s fairly capable for a lot of situations. I flip from Android to iOS quite a bit, and recently have found myself considering switching back to an Android device …
