Another day closer to MWC and another product that’s meant to be on show soon. This time it’s the turn of ZTE. Spec wise it seems to be a pretty basic device, which begs the question”why bother” neither high end or entry level. Here are the specs: Size …
Hey, there’s one thing we all agree on, right? Yeah. Trademarks. Patents. Legal battles. It’s all getting tiresome. Samsung, despite being involved in several legal battles with Apple, have decided to poke fun at this situation in an advert shown last night. The ad, which appeared during that …
How do I start this? Hmmm… I know. I’ll do what Microsoft did and completely lie. Right, here goes… When you’re looking for “a present” on your browser and don’t want your wife to find out, you can now use Private Browser. It’s fairly self-explanatory really. This password-protected …

I’m quite a fan of large phones, I’ve owned both of the Galaxy Notes and before that I owned a Dell Streak. With each and every one I always found myself balancing the phone on a narrow edge or just shoving it my rucksack to carry it around. For …
