The rumours about a PSP phone or Playstation phone have been around for years.  Since the iPhone started to dominate the mobile gaming landscape, many hardcore gamers have found themselves gravitating to Apple’s machine or they go for Android handsets.  Games on those platforms have started to become hits in their own right.  Angry Birds [...]

We all live in a world that is obsessed with stats.  We’ve managed to reduce human beings to series of buying preferences and efficiency targets.  Occasionally we hear of some statistics that actually show something useful or express something worthwhile.  But they are almost discarded with the same sort of blank annoyance that a cow [...]

When Mr Jobs launched his attack on just about everyone in the mobile phone industry that isn’t Apple the other week, no one expected it would end there.  We think it would have shown a bit of class to let this geek war die the death that it deserves to, but we guess we underestimated [...]

In a blaze of publicity and a mass shrug of the shoulders from the non tech obsessed section of the population, Windows Phone 7 has finally been released.  There are five Windows Phone 7 handsets available in the UK but we’re pretty sure that number will increase exponentially in the new year.  All the major [...]

When Palm was taken over by HP we got a little worried.  The Pre, although it didn’t hit the iPhone numbers that Palm were hoping for, was a nice little handset that got great reviews from pretty much everyone.  It was the plucky underdog, the part time out of shape nightclub doorman who got put [...]

We remember playing lots of Championship Manager before our loyalties changed and we switched to Football Manager.  In the old Championship Manager you used to be able to give your chosen club loads of money using an editor.  In a case of life imitating art Man City were taken over in 2008 by the stupidly [...]

Nokia has announced a new C5 device.  Sadly it is not anything like Sir Clive Sinclair’s three wheeled 1980’s masterpiece; it really isn’t as fun or ridiculous as that.  The Nokia C5-03 is a new inexpensive touchscreen handset and not a surreal method of pseudo futuristic transportation.  We were hoping that the Finnish giants would [...]

It’s not easy to forget the slow car crash that was the Windows Mobile.  It was like watching a Hollywood action film where an articulated truck flips over, flying through the air in slow motion and then taking out huge groups of innocent bystanders.  Nothing seemed to work and Microsoft was powerless to stop the [...]
