Even though playing Angry Birds is seen almost as a rite of passage for all new smartphone users, maker Rovio's presence in the world of entertainment now spans a far greater playing field than that very simple, addictive original title. Numerous spin-offs have ensued, and with products ranging from plush toys to phone cases and an Angry Birds movie in the pipeline, the Finnish outfit is easily among the most successful developers in mobile space. Today, the company has announced Angry Birds Go!, a racing game bringing Mario Kart-like fare to those annoyingly endearing little creatures. It will launch on December 11th, and we've got all of the details for your after the break!
Next year should follow the usual prose when it comes to the technology industry, but one project that stands out as, quite literally, a potential eye-opener, is Google's Glass. Having first been teased last year, it has been developed and enhanced considerably during its tenure as the Big G's most exciting up-and-coming, and such is the level of work being put in behind the scenes, that it would seem as though the search giant is already working on a model beyond the inaugural Google Glass Explorer Edition.

It's been all change in the Apple boardroom over the last 24 months, and while some of it has obviously been unavoidable other moves have been entirely by the Cupertino firm's choosing.

As we did with the iPhone 5c review a couple of weeks ago, we've put the all new Apple iPhone 5s continuously through its paces and now is the time to provide you with my opinion on Apple's shiniest handset. As I mentioned in my iPhone 5c review, we've already done a large amount of coverage on the iPhone 5s. This post will serve to update you if you've missed any of that content.
As far as social photograph apps go, Snapchat has proven more popular than most and has seen a take-up the likes of which most other app developers can only dream of.

The LG-made Nexus 5 looks set to be the next big thing from Google, and rumors have been rife pertaining its specifics and release date.
