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.
Even though Samsung's Galaxy Nexus has been available in the UK for a couple of weeks now, everyone in the United States are still being made to wait before they can get their hands on Verizon's exclusive version, and people are starting to get impatient.
Apple has just seeded the first beta version of iOS 5.1 for iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 2, iPad 1, and iPod touch to the registered developers of iOS Dev Center.
We told you recently about a brand new Cydia tweak called Siri0us, which brings Siri-like dictation to the iPhone 4, 3GS and iPod touch 4G touting a jailbroken version of iOS 5.

With Intel's Thunderbolt connector not exactly taking off as quickly as it would have liked, the company is apparently working on a new, standardized docking system which would give ultra-portable notebooks both a Thunderbolt and non-Thunderbolt connector to use, with the latter being reportedly used for things such as power and Ethernet connectivity.
One of the social networking apps to take iOS users by storm is Instagram, but it's not just any normal social network. Allowing users to upload their own photos after editing them using a selection of provided affects, Instagram is a cross between Flickr and Twitter and is currently the must-have app for the technorati of iOS. The problem is, there is currently no Android version and fans of the little green robot are getting tires of waiting.
