One thing I kept thinking throughout this video was “battery life”. Although far fetched the video does showcase some of the features of the Nexus 7 in a consumer friendly manner. Lets just hope they can sort out their stock and delivery issues. 🙂 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqiSE-ukmgc Via – Android …

You may have seen a number of items recently surrounding the Nokia Lumia handsets. Powered by Windows Phone, there’s already some who have stuck together some numbers and calculated that 330,000 Nokia Lumia handsets have (probably) sold in the USA during 4 months of sales. There’s an element …

Don’t ask me. We get PR companies sending us emails and sometimes I think, “Are they alright? Did they have too much to drink last night?” This time we’ve received a video from SquareTrade. They sell warranties or something, and if you watch this video to the end …
The rumour mill is quite often spinning rather quickly and last night I spotted something that could be great but could also just be another nail in the coffin. What on earth am I on about? Well the other day T-Mobile US leaked a document that mentioned some …
The HTC One X. You probably read our review and bought one. It’s a great phone, just like the One S (above), but until today we couldn’t be sure that Android 4.1 was going to be available for these handsets. Luckily Jeff Gordon, HTC’s Global Online Communications Manager, …

Ten days ago Samsung won a High Court battle here in the UK against Apple. It should have been a great day, but the judge soured it a little by saying that the Galaxy Tab had obviously not copied the iPad because… They do not have the same …
My hands smell of leather. It’s a strange pleasure, and I can perhaps see why there are those who wear special “driving gloves”. We asked Bugatti whether we could “review” the Veyron, pictured below.. ..they said no. Perhaps it had something to do with the two cars I’ve …
