In almost the same breath as confirming it would no longer pursue any further tablet ventures - not that consumers were remotely aware the company had made any in the first place - the South Korean electronics giant LG has announced its interest in taking on Apple's lauded (yet temperamental) Siri Voice recognition services with its own offering.
Fruit Ninja has grown to become one of the most popular games on both Android and iOS, and although most would not necessarily have foreseen it, the title has made a fruit-hating, sword-toting ninja of many millions of consumers.
People wanting to see what Microsoft announced during its Windows Phone Summit today can now find out by watching the presentation in video format, right from the comfort of your own computer after the Redmond outfit published the entire thing online.
Instagram was well on its way to being the destination for all our photos long before Facebook bought it, whether they be clean, unedited efforts or images that have been doctored to within an inch of their lives using some of the app's built-in filters. We're big fans of Instagram here, and the addition of the Android client recently only helped to make the app more popular.
For those who purchase an iPhone or iPod touch, it stands to reason that each person uses that device for a different purpose, but regardless of what the intended usage is, everyone more than likely has something in common - the fact that we all install a large number of applications from the official App Store. If the recent speculation is anything to go by then it looks likely that we will see a redesign of the App Store with the launch of iOS 6, but it is anyone's guess what that will bring.
Foxconn's Chairman, Terry Gou, has waded into the ongoing iPhone 5 conversation by claiming that the yet unannounced, and entirely rumor-filled handset will put the competition to the sword.

As the tech world continues to natter about the Microsoft Surface, which was announced earlier this week, the Redmond company has finally revealed the details of Windows Phone 8, and they are pretty impressive to say the least.
With Apple's 2012 Worldwide Developers Conference all done and dusted for this year, the residents of San Francisco could be forgiven for thinking they could get back to a little bit of normality without a plethora of developers and programmers buzzing around. Unfortunately for them, they may need to wait a little longer as iOS and Mac OS X developers have left, the Google I/O conference is about to descend on the Moscone Center in seven days time.
Ever since Microsoft announced its plans to release the Surface tablets on Monday, reactions have been fairly mixed. Given the lack of information on availability, pricing, and battery life - important factors that consumers consider when purchasing a tablet - some pundits have been curiously critical. Others have been quick to point out that Microsoft's still in the wrong for wanting to ship an Intel tablet that, not only has a fan and vents from a hardware standpoint, but also is host to a full-fledged version of Windows that has legacy apps along with the more touch-friendly Metro apps.
As you may or may not be aware, I picked up an HTC One X last week. I wanted an Android phone to compliment my iPhone 4S. Not to replace it, but to offer something different to the iOS life I have lived almost exclusively for the last few years. Basically, I fancied a change without giving up the iPhone that I have grown to love, but also grown a little tired of. Variety is the spice of life, after all!
