We all use apps on our phones, some more than others, some install huge games that take several GB of space, some install dozens of Social Network apps, some install bafflingly pointless apps like fart apps or soundboards. It really is a personal thing it’s your phone and …
Seriously, don’t do drugs kids. Bill Gates, yes, the Bill Gates, is a very clever chap. Today though he’s stated that iPad users are frustrated and.. oh my… they’re .. mad and … can’t cope with the thing any more. The Surface / Surface Pro is your solution …
Google Now. Love it or hate it, it’s a very clever do-hickey. Up until now it’s been firmly sat in the Android camp, but now it’s coming to iPhone too. Google Now, for those that aren’t aware, pops up some helpful cards that you’ll be needing throughout the …
Apple fans and Samsung fans don’t half love a good argument about whose phone is better. That’s exactly the point that Microsoft have gone with for their latest Windows Phone advert. It made me chuckle, which is always a good thing. See what you think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z19vR1GldRI

Phone cases are all pretty similar from a certain distance. This one, though, isn’t. An iPhone 5 case that costs £199.99? That’s gotta be pretty good to start with. The Izzi camera case protects your iPhone and also adds three different lenses that sit over the existing lens. …
Sorting your daily dose of news into small, bite-sized chunks can be a bit of a pain at times. You either download an app, go through the mobile version of the newspaper website or heck – you could even buy one of those “paper versions” 😉 The people …
