Amazingly I’ve still not unpacked my Mobile World Congress, but the innovations I saw on devices like the YotaPhone have stuck with me. This year my flight had relaxed the rules on electronic gadgets, and you can use them – albeit in flight mode – from gate to …
If you use your smartphone or tablet as a sat-nav system you may find that it goes flat when left overnight in your motor. The reason, if you do choose to leave your device in your car and on display (which is usually a bad idea), is that …
Do you have a BB10 device and use Microsofts SkyDrive? Well if you do things have just got a whole lot easier for you. It’s nice to see because up until now BB10 was only really supported by Dropbox or Box for Cloud storage, BlackBerry have made this …

I’ve given the S850 a separate article as it’s totally different to the S660 and S860 we looked at earlier. In Barcelona we met up with Lenovo and, out of the three new S-range devices they’d announced, this S850 impressed me the most. It’s perhaps the most desirable …
