BlueAnt Q2 bluetooth headset review
Remember the BlueAnt T1, the rugged little Bluetooth headset we threw around here. Well, slightly more fancy but just as powerful is the Q2.

However, the call quality is excellent undeniably…

BlueAnt T1 Bluetooth headset review
Bluetooth headsets get a bit of a bad rap – mostly because they make you look at little bit silly (make up your own tired reference to the Borg and Bankers).

Out of this world? The Samsung Galaxy S II
The very slimline (8.49mm and the slimmest in the world according to Samsung) Android handset features Android 2.3 Gingerbread as well as a speedy dual-core 1GHz Samsung chip along with a generous 1Gb of AM.

The Juice Pack Plus – Squeezing every last millimetre of ‘juice’ out of an iPhone 4
