Golla’s Special Year-End Edition of Hard Covers for iPhone 4S
With the cost of purchasing an iPhone being terribly high, an almost boundless number of cases and covers for the iPhone available, amidst a seemingly relentless iffy economy, you would have thought the last thing we needed was the arrival of yet more iPhone cases. Although the thought of design and accessory companies not attempting to cash in on the immediate success of the iPhone 4S, which has already sold…
Samsung and Google team up to launch the Galaxy Nexus
The ever-competitive Smartphone market has just entered new territory with the immediate release of the Galaxy Nexus.

The iPhone? Thanks to Griffin, it’s child’s play
Does the phrase “Mum, can I play with your iPhone fill you with dread?” While Apple’s iconic handset has proved to be a godsend for frazzled parents sitting in traffics jams, queuing at the doctors or killing time while a sibling is busy being put through their paces at swimming or gym classes, the thought of sticky fingers pawing at the glass of your 400 quid phone, and then dropping…
Asus EEE Pad Slider: Plenty of playtime
Business notebook purists, who sneer balefully at early corporate adopters of tablets, often argue that without a keyboard, a tablet has no real value as a part of the mobile corporate armoury.

Kogan’s new Agora tablets: A tablet price war has commenced!

Kogan, a lesser known consumer electronics’ designer, manufacturer and retailer, has been propelled to global notoriety overnight, by launching the Agora 8” Tablet, which starts from £119 and the Agora 10”…
iPhone 4S review of reviews
Never can there have been such a emotion-fuelled product launch as with the iPhone 4S, what with the rawer-than-raw passing of the man that made it all possible in the first place, and the moans and gripes of the Apple geekosphere about how it’s not really a new iPhone and how they are now going to have to wait another year to get that gloaty new-phone feeling. This is all…
Smartphone gaming, convergence and the LG Optimus 3D
Convergence is one of the big watchwords in smartphones and mobile devices manufactures have long been promising us “one handset to rule the all”. And in many cases it’s quite a valid case. My iPod is all but dead to me, as most smartphones offer a comparable listening experience. In fact with their always-one Internet connection, an all-you-can-eat data plan and apps such as Instacast and Spotify, in many ways…
