Back before the first iPad was announced and when the rumor-mill was in full force, everyone pretty much knew that a tablet was on the way, but nobody really knew what form that tablet would take. Whilst many thought that the tablet would indeed turn out as it did, some were more hopeful that Apple would simply offer an OS X-like machine that resembled a MacBook Pro, but in tablet form. Sort of like one of those Tablet PCs that nobody bought back in the 1990s. Thankfully, Apple knew better.

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.
For today only, fans of Atari classics from the Atari 2600 era can get their hands on a little slice of nostalgia for the bargain price of absolutely nothing. Free. Zero. Zilch. You don't get many better bargains than that!
A new app, made for Samsung by developer Media Mushroom, aims to make switching from an iPhone to a Galaxy S III Android phone as painless an exercise as possible.
Remember last year when the LunaTik iPod nano watch strap was all the rage across Kickstarter and pretty much the whole internet? Remember how awesome it was? So do we, and that's why we are quietly excited to see what the LunaTik's makers have come up with when they say their next project is an iPhone 4 and 4S case that is rugged, water resistant and generally cool.
TechCrunch is the latest to throw its hat into the ring with the claim that Apple's 30-pin dock connector is no more, with the iPhone 5 set to feature an all-new 19-pin solution. We're now just a few months away from what everyone in the technology industry almost universally agrees will be an iPhone launch. Whether the device is called the iPhone 5, or whether Apple does indeed drop the number and simply go with 'the new iPhone,' one thing is beginning to appear to be a dead certainty - the iconic dock connector is set to see a revamp.
People wanting to see what Microsoft announced during its Windows Phone Summit today can now find out by watching the presentation in video format, right from the comfort of your own computer after the Redmond outfit published the entire thing online.
Foxconn's Chairman, Terry Gou, has waded into the ongoing iPhone 5 conversation by claiming that the yet unannounced, and entirely rumor-filled handset will put the competition to the sword. Specifically, Gou believes that Samsung's Galaxy S III will feel the heat when put up against Apple's iPhone 5.
As you may or may not be aware, I picked up an HTC One X last week. I wanted an Android phone to compliment my iPhone 4S. Not to replace it, but to offer something different to the iOS life I have lived almost exclusively for the last few years. Basically, I fancied a change without giving up the iPhone that I have grown to love, but also grown a little tired of. Variety is the spice of life, after all!
Microsoft is set to announce a mystery product during an event today, with speculation currently doing the rounds as to what the Redmond outfit could potentially have up its sleeve. At this point it is clear that a Microsoft branded tablet is looking extremely likely, but new rumors suggest there may be a little more to it than that.
HTC's One X is widely accepted to be one of the best Android phone around at the moment. With Samsung's Galaxy S III currently getting all the plaudits, the One X is still a handset that should not be forgotten. If you're the owner of HTC's latest flagship phone, then you may have noticed a problem - the handset keeps turning all its data connections off overnight.
