If you've been following Rockstar's leaked screenies of Grand Theft Auto V, you'll have noticed just how darned awesome it looks. Gamers have been salivating over the teasing images for months, but with precious little in the way of an ETA, quite a few have grown a little disgruntled.

Electronic Arts is one of the most prolific game publishing companies to ever have done it. Having excelled in bringing some of our most famed sports titles to our consoles, EA has continued to shine on mobile. Not only are the new releases frequent, but the quality is very high, and having already released quite a few Need for Speed titles hitherto, the company has just pushed Need For Speed: Most Wanted through to Apple's App Store and Google Play.
When a new product line launches in tech space, there's usually that two or three week, pre-retail period where we anxiously await the unboxings and hands-on experiences of the very latest gadgetry. Google launched quite a few exciting new products yesterday, including the Nexus 10, Nexus 4 and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, but if you simply cannot wait to get up close and personal with these just-launched products, a very well-arranged video by The Verge offers an extensive look into how the new tablet, smartphone, and accompanying software came to be.
Although the tech coverage was dominated by Microsoft and Windows Phone 8 yesterday, Google also announced some significant new releases of its own, and among them was the LG-manufactured Nexus 4 smartphone. While it's perhaps lacking in one or two key departments, it still has enough about it to qualify as high-end, and as such, what bigger test for a top-drawer smartphone than to compare it with the iPhone 5 on iOS and the Lumia 920 on Windows Phone 8?
Apple has just issued a press release detailing a major shake-up in its executive ranks, with the most significant being the departure of Senior VP of iOS Software, Scott Forstall. In addition, SVP Retain, John Browett will also be moving on to pastures new, and and several other key names will take up additional responsibilities.
You may remember an article we ran back in May from FreedomPop, which, for $99, had created a 4G sleeve cover, which could offer "blazing" fast 4G speeds on an iPhone 4 / 4S. Now, that very same company has created a $99 cover which does the exact same thing, but for your iPod touch instead.
Hurricane Sandy may have stopped Google from running its special Nexus event, but with all the devices having been unveiled regardless, the world also gets its first proper look at Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. There was a genuine feeling that Google had finally delivered an Android product to be proud with in Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, and several months after it began trickling out, how has the Big G improved its "buttery smooth" mobile OS?
Microsoft is all set and ready to launch Windows Phone 8 later today, and we can hardly wait. Windows Phone 7.x showed tremendous promise, but lacked in many key areas, and having spent the past twelve or so months meticulously arranging its successor, the wraps are almost ready to be taken off.
In a headline the senior execs over at Apple could only dream of, Google's special Android scheduled to be held in New York City this coming Monday has been cancelled due to the threat of an impending hurricane. According to a report over at The Verge, Hurricane Sandy is looming, and as such, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency in response to the incoming storm, and Google's event was set to take place on a waterfront pier, which is now in an evacuation zone yesterday.
Although not all of this Fall's tablet releases have arrived just yet, there's already enough on the table for consumers to begin making some big decisions. The iPad 4 and iPad mini, which were announced earlier this week, were closely followed by the Surface RT from Microsoft, and of all the Android tablets currently available, the Nexus 7 is unarguably the most popular. With that in mind, we'll be advising you on which of the above four devices you should consider, depending on your requirements and budget.
