Is it a surprise that Times has named the iPhone 5 Gadget of the year 2012? To me, yes. I was expecting the Samsung Galaxy S III or Note II to bare this title personally. I like Apple products, I currently have a number of them. I have …

Do we really need to give you the history on this? Oh, OK. I’ll do it briefly then. If you had an iPhone a few months back then you’ll have used Google Maps as the default mapping solution. Apple changed all that though, and along cam Apple Maps …
Oh Nokia… some good press would be great, wouldn’t it? It seems analysts are revising earlier predictions that Nokia would have a strong Q4 with “an overly optimistic interpretation of initial Lumia sales commentary”. That’s “we thought they’d sell more phones” to you and me. If the analyst …

I have a thing about dual SIM phones. When I recently reviewed the Acer Liquid Gallant Duo I was amazed at the implementation of the dual SIM. Being able to choose between SIMs made my daily swapping of devices and SIM cards a whole lot easier. Expansys have …
