Oliver Haslam has written about technology for over a decade. His work has been published in print at Macworld and online pretty much everywhere else. If it plugs in or has a battery, it's fair game.
Sometimes I despair, I really do. Just when you think that the madness has come to some sort of logical end, someone proves you wrong. Samsung did that rather emphatically when it announced a pair of Galaxy Mega handsets that take what the company did with the Note and Note II and then, well, make it bigger.
Twilight is an app for Android smartphones and tablets that claims to help shield your eyes from blue light, making you sleep better as a result. Well, that's the idea, anyway.
This far into a new year we're already well aware of the state of play with regards to a new iPad. This year though, we're much less well informed due to Apple's lack of an announcement event, showing off a new iPad and more importantly, telling us when it's due to be released.
Everyone loves a good infographic, and that includes us here at Redmond Pie.

As expected, T-Mobile has today pushed a carrier update out to unlocked iPhone 5 handsets running on its network.

New releases of Apple’s iOS always cause a stir, but with the removal of Scott Forstall and addition of Jonny Ive to the iOS fold, the next big release of the iPhone and iPad operating system is eagerly anticipated by many. Will iOS 7 look and feel very much like the current release, or will Apple take the opportunity to shake things up a little?
The wait may soon be over for those wishing to buy an iPhone on T-Mobile in the United States, but what about those already using their iPhones on the big purple carrier? While they’re happily using their devices currently, sans 3G, what about T-Mobile’s fancy new 4G LTE network?
Fans of VoIP app Viber will today have noticed that an update to their free calling and texting app of choice has popped up, assuming they’re using a Windows Phone 8 device that is.
