Today for free in the Amazon Appstore you can get Siege Hero. Which is a game a bit like Angry Birds where you throw rocks at a flimsy wooden construction and try and kill everyone on screen. Here is the developers take on what the game is about: …
The Apple lawyers haven’t been distracted by the launch of the iPhone 5, although I’m sure they all pre-ordered themselves one after getting their latest court victory.

It’s that time of the week again, where a few of us gather round our microphones and pretend to listen to what the others are saying whilst playing Angry Birds on our latest review unit. Yes it’s our podcast and as usual we will be recording it tonight …
Can you remember the review we did the other week of the Samsung Galaxy Beam? (It’s here if you can’t) Jamie came to the conclusion that it was a great phone, it was just a little bit expensive for what you got. Well Handtec have gone part of …
The other week we published our initial impressions of the Gemini JoyTAB with bluetooth keyboard. Things looked good apart from a few ill placed logos. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and it’s time to bring you the full review. Design The JoyTAB is made …

There was a certain amount of “shielding” during the Nokia Lumia 920 and 820 launches. The closely-guarded demo units were closely guarded and certain functions couldn’t really be accessed. It didn’t help the confidence of investors and, along with a lack of pricing, launch locations or exact dates, …
Following last week’s news that Samsung sold 20 million Galaxy S III handsets in 100 days, the manufacturer are looking to build on that success with the addition of four new colour schemes to the range. In keeping with the S III’s “inspired by nature” tagline, the new …

Hot on the heals of the leaked specs for the HTC One X+ we now also have details of a new HTC Windows Phone from XDA Developer Football4PDA. Previously known as the HTC Accord, the Windows Phone 8X will be the first HTC device to run Windows Phone …
The One X is already the HTC’s flagship Android phone, and it’s a bit of a beast when it comes to raw processing figures, but, not content with ‘just’ a 1.5GHz Tegra 3 quad core processor, they’ve decicided to give it a power up! We’re working on rumours …
Nokia has posted a new promo video to its YouTube channel which appears to leak that Instagram is coming to Windows Phone. Whilst the video is an animation intended to show off the benefits of Puremotion, it does seem to show a live tile with very similar info to …

Just how do you upset someone? Do you call them ugly? Do you insult a member of their family? Do you question the size of their manhood? No, no, no. You merely have to criticise their choice of phone or Operating System. Talk to the SysAdmin guy in …
The launch of Windows Phone 8 has thrown Microsoft’s phone efforts back into the spotlight, and how it has struggled to gain market share over Apple and Android. With yet another relaunch of a mobile OS, Microsoft and its embattled partner Nokia (or future purchase), certainly have their …

We knew that Flash was going and we expected him it to vanish from the Google Play Store. However “strategic partners” seem to have forced the hand of Adobe and it’s still there. Those “strategic partners” appear to include the BBC, who use the Flash technology in their …
Last week Sony announced that they were releasing the replacement to the Tablet S – the Xperia Tablet S. Today the unit starts shipping to those who have pre-ordered it in the UK. What they will be getting is the distinctive folded newspaper design and black and silver …

Yesterday Nokia sort of mislead people about the Pureview video they showed. In that it wasn’t actually filmed with a Lumia 920. Today they have posted a 16 second video showing real footage using the 920 and another smartphone. Here it is, the shot on the right is …
Samsung have announced that they’ve sold a staggering 20 million Galaxy SIII in 100 days. That’s just over 3 months, or a quarter. Nokia sold 4 million Lumia handsets during Q2 of 2012. Whilst the iPhone 4S sold 4 million units in 3 days last year, we should …
We’ve looked at the spec and the pictures, now it’s time for some promotional videos. First up the RAZR HD which they are calling the “all day phone” with either a 2500mAh or 3300mAh batteries I can understand this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2zDApeDXJc Next we have the RAZR M which is …
