Google/LG Nexus 4: Our Thoughts
The latest Nexus device, future flagship of the Android operating system, was announced a few weeks ago and it’s probably about time we wrote a little something about it. Interestingly enough, the Nexus 4 is not a Samsung, HTC or even, as some speculated, a Motorola-manufactured device. Instead, the Nexus 4 will be coming to consumers courtesy of LG.
Initial Impressions of Windows 8
The other day I decided to take the plunge and install Windows 8 on my personal computer at home. Having been almost exclusively a Windows user since first I held a mouse, I was not looking forward to the arduous task of upgrading yet again. I was, however, very keen to see how Microsoft had spiced things up with its newest OS update.
A New iPad Just 7 Months Later
Amongst the initial rumours and hearsay flying around the web surrounding Apple’s most recent keynote was no hint of a new, fully-fledged iPad 4th generation. Indeed, no one seems to have expected Apple to come out with a new iPad just over half a year after the 3rd generation iPad debuted with its retina display.
Apple iPad Mini Announced
We’ve been hearing rumours about it for what seems like ages and now Apple has finally unveiled the newest addition to its ever-growing family – the iPad Mini. As expected, the iPad Mini is a toned-down version of the iPad line with less attention paid towards high end specs and more of a focus on keeping the iPad experience fluid while bringing down the starting price.
Android 4.2 and Better Customization
One of the best and worst things about the Android platform is its support for diverse options for user interface (UI) and customization. There’s no real one-way to do things with an OS as open-source as Android and the end result is that the user gets a huge range of options when it comes to personalising their device in both appearance and functionality.
iPad Mini Becomes More Certain
We’ve been hearing a lot of talk about a mini version of the iPad since before the New iPad (3rd generation iPad) hit shelves. Despite its failure to appear back then, talk of its impending release has spread across the internet with a steadfast resilience, growing in momentum and scale all the while. Now, we’re finally hearing talk, from the Wall Street Journal no-less, that production of the iPad Mini has begun.
iPhone 5 Review
The iPhone 5 needs no introduction. Apple’s latest and greatest addition to its iconic line of smartphones has burst on to the scene with all the excitement and hoopla of its predecessors. Once again we have seen huge lines of eager buyers on launch day (myself included, if you’d care to read my thoughts on the experience) and record-breaking sales.
Nokia Lumia 610 Review (Global)
The Nokia Lumia 610 is the affordable compatriot of the current Nokia flagship: the Nokia Lumia 900. The Lumia 610 has taken to its budget-smartphone label with some pretty serious aplomb, boasting heavily toned-down hardware and specs in order to keep costs low. The real question is whether or not this Windows Phone 7.5 powered device suffers from its lack of impressive internals. To find out read on as we continue our Nokia Lumia 610 review.
The iPhone 5 in Detail
The iPhone 5 was finally announced today after months of hype and speculation. Leading up to the event, countless examples of “leaked” images and hardware cropped up with regards to the new iPhone 5. After a lot of talk and rumor it turns out that a lot of them were true.
Three New Motorola Smartphones
Motorola has announced three new smartphones for the US: The Motorola Droid RAZR HD, the Droid RAZR Maxx HD and the RAZR M 4G LTE. While we’d like to see a more compact naming scheme, all three phones are looking pretty good right now, even if they don’t come running Jelly Bean out of the box.
