The Nexus 7 tablet, which was the brainchild of a collaborative effort between Google and ASUS, proved to be a huge hit with consumers thanks largely to its low starting price and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean implementation. Talk has been rife recently regarding a 32GB model - offering a little more storage for folk who find 8 and 16GB configurations as requiring too space management - and to throw a little more weight behind the murmurings, a 32GB Nexus 7 looks to have made an appearance in Japan.
If you happen to be in the United Kingdom and are looking for a new smartphone deal and tariff, then it might be worth considering the O2 network as they have officially made the James Bond-branded Sony Xperia T smartphone available for customers. It's been known for a while that the network would be offering a 007 Xperia T experience to customers, but we just weren't sure when it would start appearing on the company's online store, but what they are calling "The Bond Phone" is now available.
Rovio's latest Bad Piggies title on iOS and Android definitely brought a new challenge for mobile gamers to sink their teeth into, but if you happen to be a huge fan of the company's Angry Birds creation then November 8th may be a date that needs to be added to your diary. Fans of the Angry Birds franchise may have seen a teasing image from Rovio last week that had a number of people wondering if those pesky birds were about to move to the dark side. It seems that they are.
Apple introduced a completely overhauled connector in the iPhone 5 called Lightning. The decision isn’t too popular with people who own lots of accessories like speakers, car chargers, docks etc. which were made for the older 30-pin connector. Apple does have a Lightning to 30-pin adapter on sale separately for such people. Now, we’ve received news that these adapters are being shipped out to people who ordered them earlier. Check out the details after the jump.
If big game creators ever join forces to produce some kind of hybrid mashup, then I undoubtedly want to see Sonic the Hedgehog meet Super Mario, Master Chief from Halo running around Liberty City causing mayhem or see either Guile or Chun-Li coming up against the mean Samurai machine that is Tekken's Kunimitsu. Unfortunately, we aren't that lucky to be able to pick and choose certain elements from various games that we would like to play, but Capcom has taken the lead and created the crossover battle to beat them all.
Recently, there's been a marked uprising in apps related to the comic book genre, and now, digital comic publisher Madefire has joined the party with its universal app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Unlike many of your typical comic apps, which stick to a digitalization of the traditional paper editions of comics books, Madefire's app takes advantage of "motion book" technology - making the entire experience more enthralling and aesthetically-pleasing at the same time.
Apps that allow users to quickly and efficiently edit photographs on their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch have always been popular offerings in the App Store, and as of this week, there is a new pretender to the throne in the form of the Gridditor app from Tai Shimizu.

If you've been paying attention to the official T-Mobile Twitter account then you will probably be aware of the unexpected but not so surprising announcement which they made last night.

If you can't bring yourself to believe that Internet Explorer 9 is one of the best looking, fastest and safest desktop browsing experiences available then worry not as it looks like you aren't alone in your thoughts. Internet Explorer is undoubtedly one of the most - if not the most - widely known browsing software available today, and once upon a time it was pretty much the accepted choice for those wanting to browse the web. The last few year’s browser trends usage statistics have shown us that IE has been losing its once dominant hold over users, with the latest surveys in August of this year showing that 16.2% of browsers do so though Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
The smartphone world may be dominated by Android, iOS and Windows Phone at the minute, but it wasn't always that way. There was a time when webOS was around and was deemed to be probably one of the best and most accomplished mobile operating systems available to users. Unfortunately, those days are long gone, and when HP acquired the software from Palm, its end was somewhat inevitable.
