This is a topic that is close to my heart and with the announcement of the latest round of Lumia devices having this capability it’s back in the limelight! I wanted to just share my thoughts on a technology that isn’t really very new at all. I suppose the …
Following the Windows Phone 8X, the 8S has a slightly smaller screen and slightly reduced specs. Up front there’s a 4″ WVGA 800×480 pixel screen with Gorilla Glass and super LCD display. Powered by a 1GHz dual-core chip, it uses a microSIM and has the same Beats Audio …
HTC have, if we’re honest, had a rough time of it recently. Today in New York it seems like there’s a new direction. HTC have suffered against the relentless and huge Samsung marketing budget. Not only that, but there’s now an endless supply of handsets with similar functionality. …

Motorola have a clear cut divide between their high end devices (Razr, Proton, Razr Maxx, Razr HD, Razr M) and their current budget devices (Motoluxe and this the Motosmart). When Motorola first introduced the Motoluxe they were full of the fact it was a fashionable well designed piece …
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. This time it’s Google’s very own newly acquired Motorola Mobility (still sounds like one of those old peoples’ shopping buggies) devices …

Orange and T-Mobile, in the shape of “EE”, grabbed headlines earlier this week by rolling out UK’s first 4G service. That left Vodafone and O2 green with envy, waiting for a slice of the 4G pie through the auctions. O2 are now pushing hard to get their 4G …

The new iPhone, to be launched this evening will, as expected, run on EE’s new 4G network. It’s been rumoured for a while that the new iPhone will contain 4G technology, and while EE would only say “other devices will follow very soon” yesterday, a source has confirmed …
Yesterday was a little bit dominated by Everything Everywhere and their 4G announcement, but there was something else interesting announced yesterday and that was the VSD220. Viewsonic announced it back at MWC earlier on in the year. It is basically a mains powered 22″ 1080p tablet with a …
Real? Well, with the event just hours away why would you spend so many hours faking this? We’re going to have to assume it’s the real deal for now but we’ll know more when or live coverage starts tomorrow. 🙂 The video seems to reveal fingerprint recognition and …
Now the cat is finally out of the bag. It looks like the network didn’t just go large, it went for the supersized option. The current roster of releases under the new EE brand is as follows: The Nokia Lumia 920 with its 1280×768 pixel PureMotion HD+ display, …
Orange is now history, as is T-Mobile, at least from a marketing perspective. Everything Everywhere has taken a back seat too, with “EE” being the new brand going forward. You can sign up for updates on 4G and all the latest info at their new site – ee.co.uk. …

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 …
Here in the UK you’ll soon be able to get the Amazon Kindle Fire HD. It’s “the world’s most advanced 7″ tablet” according to them and features Dolby audio, 11 hours of battery life and 16GB of storage. Oh, and it’s only £159. The existing Kindle Fire has …
If you’ve been reading us at all, you’ve read that Nokia has announced its Lumia 920 Windows phone 8 flagship, the 4.5” beast with the pureview imaging technology that the Finnish company is touting to put them back at the top of the smartphone pile. What seems …
What happened there exactly? Out came Nokia, all guns blazing, with two very respectable handsets. Earlier, they had spent the morning telling people to “#SWITCH” and that they were about to feast on Android… Breakfast in New York on a big day for us! Today we dine on …
A wireless charging pillow, advanced camera technology and a screen that detects the presence of skin, gloved fingers, or fingernails. The Lumia 920 and 820 are due to arrive “in Q4″ although we’ve not been given pricing just yet. What is also a bit strange is the fact …
Nokia are assembling in New York for a major Windows Phone 8 launch. This is a critical stage for them, and they’ll no doubt be hoping that it’s not going to turn out like the Lumia 900 launch just a few months back. That quickly turned into hefty …
Technology is all about the next big thing, so you should be upgrading your phones and tablets every month or so, right? Well, besides the sheer impracticality, most of us don’t have the budget to do that. So, how do you stay in touch without a second mortgage? …
Perhaps he’s got a little too much time on his hands. Perhaps he’s just a really big music fan. Either way, Bruce Willis, who featured in great films like “Die Hard” and utterly terrible ones like “Armageddon”, has apparently launched a legal battle against Apple. I know ! …
Somehow I managed to miss any rumours of a Galaxy Camera and so for once was actually quite surprised when it was announced during Samsung’s (rather dreadful) IFA keynote last week. What a pleasant surprise it was. Although undoubtedly a niche product, I have to say I’m quite excited …
Barely a couple of days after Everything Everywhere announced that they have teamed up with Mastercard comes another announcement, this time from Orange, one of the partners in the EE stable. Some time ago, Orange launched Quick Tapp with the Samsung Tocco Light. This enabled NFC payments to be …
What do Sense, TouchWiz and Emotion UI all have in common? They’re all manufacturer applied skins to go over the top of Android. These skins are designed to enhance the user experience and make using the device a whole lot easier. Yesterday Huawei announced Emotion UI and it …
The Asus built Google tablet has been out for a while now and Nexus 7 accessories are coming thick and fast. Once such accessory is the Keycase Google Nexus 7 Keyboard Case. If you hadn’t guessed by the name it is a case for the Nexus 7 that comes …
The last few days have been press release crazy. This afternoon ZTE have announced the Intel Medfield version of their current Tegra 2 device the Grand X, it’s imaginatively called the Grand X IN. It doesn’t look drastically different apart from an Intel sticker on the backplate. The …
Amazon today announced the official release of the Amazon Appstore in the UK, France, Germany, France, Italy and Spain. Although European users have been able to unofficially download the app since it was released in the US, the timing of this launch could have something to do with …
Last night in Berlin Samsung announced a whole load of new devices. The new Galaxy Note II which looks like a big Galaxy SIII, a Galaxy Camera which looks amazing and the Windows Phone 8 Ativ S which again looks amazing. Here we have a quick look at the ATIV S Windows Phone …

So the dust is beginning to settle after the so-called tech court case of the decade. Apple has come out the victor and Samsung supposedly have been crushed – or at least their lawyers have. So what’s next? For Apple it will be business as usual, there will …
Ergo Electronics have announced a few new devices. The main one that caught my attention was the GoNote which is an Android 4.0 10″ Touchscreen Netbook. So it sounds interesting to me. Spec wise it is fairly basic but there are quite a few extras that could really …
Yesterday we got our hands on the new budget phone from Motorola the Motosmart. It’s bascially a smaller and slightly lower Motoluxe. Normally the smaller versions of devices are abysmal, like the Xperia X8 or some of the smaller Galaxy devices. I’m hoping the Motosmart doesn’t follow the …
