If you're the kind of person who likes to stream media around the home then the chances are you've come across Plex at least, even if you don't currently use it. If you want to stream it to your Windows Phone smartphone, too, then Plex is going to be something you'll want to check out again.

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.
The internet is once again abuzz with news and rumors surrounding the replacement to the Xbox 360. Despite Microsoft refusing to admit that the console is on its way sooner rather than later, the gaming community is currently falling over itself to suggest what the next Xbox may look like and, more importantly, what features it may sport.
Nokia may still be wiping off its bloody nose, but it is getting ready for the biggest phone launch the company has ever had to put together. The US release of the Lumia 900 is an important one for Nokia, and it is now clear that the Finnish firm isn't holding back.

Microsoft has today released three new apps to add to its burgeoning collection of media-based apps for the Xbox 360 console. Microsoft may be in the middle of having to deflect questions about the replacement for its ageing Xbox 360, but the Redmond outfit clearly isn't getting ready to put the world's favorite home console out to pasture just yet.
There's a new Twitter app on the block, and it may be bringing a little spit and polish to the Windows app scene.

According to new figures released by an iOS app developer, iOS 5.1 has seen huge growth amongst owners of iPhones, iPads and iPod touches, bringing a large percentage of devices up to the latest version of iOS within just two weeks.
We love a good magic show here at Redmond Pie, and if anyone can somehow manage to incorporate some technology into a magic act then we're particularly interested. Magic and technology, a match made in heaven. We have been treated to just that a few times since the iPad arrived, but this might just be the best we've encountered yet.
