GEAR4 Unity: The ultimate iPhone remote control?
GEAR4 turns your iPhone into a universal remote without ridiculous plug-in hardware. Instead of connecting your iPhone to a bulky and usually unflattering add-on peripheral, the UnityRemote sits in the centre of the room and interacts with the iPhone via Blueooth, meaning no physical connection is required. As soon as you walk in the door and boot up the app, you’re ready to go. As…

There are plenty of other spots apps, so what is it that crowds rush to download the app from Europe’s most popular sport channel?

The free app contains five features designed to aid smokers in giving up: target setting, a wish list, distractions, achievement sharing and information.

If you travel to work by bus or train, or even have a ten-minute walk,…
Google and Samsung Nexus S review of reviews
Another month, another potential iPhone-killer. Normally they fall short of grabbing the Smartphone Crown with some pretty basic mistakes – a plasticky-feel to the case, for instance, or a poor camera. Sometimes they’ll even forget to include HD video recording, or iPhone-beating features like a micro SD expansion slot. Will the Nexus S, Google and Samsung’s collaborative effort, fall into this trap? Read our review…

You might be aware of US comedian Sarah Silverman. She had a brief stint on Saturday Night Live and can be seen on Mr Show, The Larry Sanders Show and loads of little guest shots on shows such as Seinfeld and movies such as “I Want Someone to Eat Cheese” with (Jeff Garlin’s movie for anyone curious about what Curb Your Enthusiasm would look like…
Mili iPhone Power Pack 4 – Just in case
You’d be churlish to deny that smartphones are a wonder of the modern age. Whichever fruit or robot-based feudal camp you find yourself attached to, the fact that for a relatively low price, people can walk around with a tiny computer in their pockets is amazing. I love my iPhone 4 but the flexibility of the device (pipe down in the back you know exactly…
Christmas gifts for the budding cyclist
When it comes to presents, people can usually be defined by one key interest. If that interest is cycling, then you’ve come to the right page. We’ve toured the web and picked some of the greatest gifts any keen velo-driver might ever want.

Virus Strike: Interview with indie developer Neil Ferguson
With over 100,000 apps, the App Store is officially massive. So when you put together a game like Virus Strike, a competition-winning Bejewelled/Flight Control/Tetris/Dr. Mario mashup, how do you go about getting it noticed? In fact, how do you go about getting it made? We spoke to Virus Strike’s indie developer Neil Ferguson. The Game Virus Strike itself is a pretty simple concept. Red, green…
Proporta TurboCharger 5000: Get fired up on the move
Between mobile phones, tablet PCs, cameras and whatever other gadgets so many of us cart about all day, it’s sometimes hard to keep up with what’s been charged and what hasn’t. And if you’ve got a gadget that’s juice-hungry, it can be really easy to run out of power even if you’ve gone out with a full battery charge. So what’s the solution? Well, you…
The Adventures of Simon Pegg: A digital comic for Android, iPhone and the iPad
You’re scared of mice and spiders, but oh-so-much greater is your fear that one day the two species will cross-breed to form an all-powerful race of mice-spiders, who will immobilize human beings in giant webs in order to steal cheese. Lines like that made a generations of young adults fall in love with writer, actor, comedian and all round lovely-chap Simon Pegg, star of Spaced,…
Rage HD review: iPhone 4 and iPad edition
As countless developers, competitors and The Steve himself keep telling us, iOS is a serious gaming platform. With thousands of titles available and large sums of money trading hands, it’s up to developers to step up and harness the power held in literally millions of pockets. Enter idSoftware with Rage HD – a rail shooter for the iPhone, with graphics that inspire hyperbole. A brainchild…
HTC Wildfire review: Slow and unsteady loses the smartphone race
I entered my HTC Wildfire experience with an open mind. Android is a noble warrior. It’s battled against the iPhone monopoly, offering perhaps the only other fully-featured smartphone operating system. On a high-end phone, like the HTC Desire, the powerful internal specifications make Android fly. Unfortunately, that’s not true of the Wildfire. It’s sluggish, everywhere. FriendStream is slow. Scrolling is clunky. Multi-touch sometimes feels random….
TWIG: RailEasy app, Bookbox eReader, Totes Smartouch
Have a smartphone? Take the train? Get the RailEasy app. I’m very tempted to leave it there making this the shortest review in these pages, but I suppose I should go into a little more detail. RailEasy is a train times and (crucially) booking app from independent online train ticket retailer RailEasy. The in-app purchasing is what makes RailEasy stand out from other train apps…
