Despite having only been announced at the beginning of the week, the Microsoft Surface has become the most talked-about gadget on the planet, and by declining to comment on price and availability - a couple of reasonably important factors - the gossip chain has reached overdrive. To add a little extra spice to proceedings, Bloomberg reckons the highly anticipated tablet-ultrabook cross may initially only ship with Wi-Fi capabilities, which could certainly put a dampener on the general excitement within the tech sphere.

Infographics provide a great way for comparisons between tech devices and events to be presented, and for those a little bamboozled by endless lines of text, it keeps things clear interesting. We feature many here at Redmond Pie, and although it would likely take a substantial level of Photoshop knowledge to create your very own, but one very nifty app for Android is devoid of all that complication.
Although mobile devices have garnered a reputation for occupying the "casual" gamer with tricky puzzles, there are plenty of high-end, aesthetically sound titles resembling the console experience. Of the car racing titles, the Asphalt series is one of the foremost, and having been present on mobile devices prior to the App Store, it has still found a welcome home on Apple's application portal.
Microsoft has had a pretty good week with all said and done. The Microsoft Surface, although managing to yield its fair share of critics, was relatively well-received by those in the tech world, and the grand unveiling of Windows Phone 8 suggests the Redmond-residing company is heading in the right direction.
Fruit Ninja has grown to become one of the most popular games on both Android and iOS, and although most would not necessarily have foreseen it, the title has made a fruit-hating, sword-toting ninja of many millions of consumers.
Although, when initially manufactured, smartphones are designed to work with a particular type of SIM, the carriers narrow things down by locking devices down to their particular network. The process of trying to unlock can be difficult indeed, and as such, consumers look to the expert developers and modders to offer a solution.
The Apple versus Samsung debacle has been going on for a considerable amount of time, and with so much back-and-forth between the tech giants regarding who stole which patent, it's quite easy to lose track.
Although Amazon's Kindle is widely regarded as the number one e-reading device, the iPad is a decent, albeit expensive alternative, and the Cupertino company's iPhone packs a Retina display making reading books and journals a relative doddle.
Before the leaked parts surfaced which supposedly offered a clear representation of Apple's upcoming iPhone, many reckoned the Cupertino company would make use of its exclusivity over the heavily-lauded Liquidmetal formula.
When transferring files over the web, most of the time, archiving them in advance is the best way to go. If it's just the odd .jpeg or .mp3, then archiving is a pretty trivial pursuit, although if you've got a batch of files, by far the easiest way of getting them from A to B is by creating an archive to be extracted at the other end.
