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.
HTC has made its 8X and and 8S Windows Phone announcement video available to stream online as of right now. We love to see new technology announced here at Redmond Pie, and we love to watch it happen in glorious, streaming video. If we can't see it live though, just seeing it at all is a bonus. That's why we like to see companies release their own videos after announcing their products, and that's exactly what HTC has done today.
All the talk and column inches are understandably being devoted to Apple's iPhone 5 right now. Always guaranteed to get attention, large hardware releases will have the pulse racing for many people, whether that be due to the urge to splash the cash, or the distinct feeling that Apple is holding something back.
Want to take all your music with you, and listen to it in a variety of different ways? Then Jukebox may be right up your street. Managing huge music libraries across multiple devices is nothing short of a nightmare, especially as our music collections continue to grow.

Samsung may have only just announced the second generation Galaxy Note, but U.S. Android fans can already pre-order the latest tablet-cum-smartphone for delivery just after October 26th.
With the release of Windows 8 and its brand spanking new Metro interface, Microsoft will all-but get rid of the Start Menu off for good. At least, that's the plan.
A new report claims that both iOS and Android smartphones are currently outpacing any previous consumer technology, with worldwide sales driving huge user adoption. A quick glance at any social network, technology blog or even the man in the street will show that smartphones are big business and gaining traction rapidly. Everyone seems to have either an iPhone or an Android phone these days, and mobile analytic firm Flurry has done what it does best - take a lot of numbers and extrapolate them into an interesting collection of facts.
Google has released a public statement in which it tackles the recent legal goings on between both Apple, and the largest Android phone maker, Samsung. While both Samsung and Apple were keen to release statements following the court's decision to order the Korean firm to pay over one billion dollars to the iPhone maker. The whole thing revolves around Samsung's use of technology which infringes upon Apple's patents, and with Android beating at the heart of Samsung's smartphones, many wondered what Google would have to say about the matter.
