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.

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.
It's been six years in the making, but today finally sees an Apple iPhone released on one of North America's most liked, if not most used, carriers. T-Mobile, as of right now, carries the iPhone.
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.
Instagram has turned into more than a mere photo sharing app over the years. Culminating in its huge sale to Facebook, Instagram has embedded itself into the digital worlds of many of us, and thanks to the recent release of an Android app, Instagram is no longer an iOS-only affair.

As expected, T-Mobile has today pushed a carrier update out to unlocked iPhone 5 handsets running on its network. Released just as official pre-orders began for the T-Mobile iPhone 5, the carrier update enables some of the typical iPhone 5 features on the network whilst also boasting one or two extra additions along the way.
LockLauncher, a popular jailbreak tweak has seen an update to version 2.0 today, adding new features and compatibility to the mix. More details can be found right after the break.
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 recently confirmed Windows Blue appears to be the internal name for Windows 8.1 rather than Windows 9, according to multiple sources. More details on this after the jump!
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.
If there's one negative that is consistently levelled at Windows Phone, it's the platform's lack of any kind of unified notification system. Unlike Android or iOS, Windows Phone does not feature an area of the operating system that plays host to all new notifications, meaning it can be easy to miss something important.
