LG Launch Eye-controlled tech

We’ve heard rumours that the new Samsung Galaxy S4 will have eye-tracking technology. Last year, when the Galaxy S3 launched, we saw the “Smart Stay” technology. This held the backlight on provided your eyes were looking at the screen. The S4 is said to build on that, perhaps …

Reviewed – Innergie Magic Cable Trio

Cabling is always a bit of a nightmare. I can’t be the only one who’s got a knotted mess of cabling behind sofas, under beds and in the foot-well of my car. The microUSB charging standard should be just that – a standard. For most of the time …

Pebble unboxing and first impressions

Ok, it’s finally here! The last post I made about the Pebble was back in January where I roughly estimated that we’d have our Pebbles with us by the end of March, so my estimate seemed pretty realistic. Those that backed the Kickstarter project are more than familiar …

LG Optimus G arriving in the UK soon

The LG Optimus G is an odd phone, sort of announced months ago at the same time as the Nexus 4. It never made it to these shores and has only just been made available. It has better specs than the Nexus 4 and a higher price as …

Samsung Galaxy S4 – Which networks are taking it?

Time for a quick round-up on which networks will be picking up the Samsung Galaxy S4. Now, if I’m a betting man, I’d put £10 on all of the networks picking it up, but here’s how things stand currently.. T-Mobile T-Mobile have stated that they will carry the …

Perhaps I’m a little too inquisitive

Trains. I love them. If you want to be nosey and have a look at what people are up to, they’re brilliant. Over the course of the last few weeks I’ve been on quite a few, including a few trips to London and my own local city – …

HTC One – You might not get it until April

Chocolate eggs. Yummy, yummy chocolate eggs. We’ll be scoffing plenty of them soon because Easter is just around the corner. Sadly this has made us realise something. Following our HTC One story yesterday, we’ve also had confirmation from Expansys that the handset is expected to arrive “with the …

Another price increase from Orange

Are you using Windows 8? Do you know anyone that is? Most people, it seems, are ditching traditional PC’s and are instead going for Android tablets, iPads or other devices. Now Jun Dong-soo, who is president of Samsung’s memory chip division, has really stuck the boot in about …

HTC are going to release a developer edition of the HTC One

Woohoo HTC are releasing a developer edition of the HTC One, that’s a good thing right? I’m not so sure. Unlocked bootloaders have been quite a contentious issue over the years. Personally I have unlocked no end of devices over the years, from the ridiculously complicated HTC Desire …
