"Blimey Charlie, is it Friday already? Well yes, yes it is. And that can only mean one thing - it's time for our tea-timely round up of all the mobileullar tech happenings from the past seven days. Now keen visitors to our site might have noticed that Pick of The Week didn't appear last Friday afternoon and for this we can only apologise. This was due to some IT-based shenanigans beyond our control (the tech bods here at P4u Towers said it was something to do with nasty software attacking our home on the web, but we reckon a particularly bored techy absent mindedly chewed through a cable). Anyway, enough of our chuntering, here's some lovely news parcels for you to get stuck into…"

"Seven year old boys can be real trouble. Getting mud on their trousers, putting a football through next door's window, and racking up thousands of pounds on the iPad. That last one not happened to you yet?"

HTC G1, the first Android phone, has had a long and interesting life until he retired last year, and although I liked the phone, I'll be the first to admit that to be limited Android 1.6 was a little disappointed. Of course, modders had their way with her, but progress slowed down for a long time for phones newer and more popular.

"There's an age old saying that nothing lasts forever, and never has there been a truer word spoken about our friends at Sony Ericsson. For reasons unknown to us, the two companies have chosen to separate, fortunately though, one side of the couple has decided to carry on the family business and have already prepared a brand new device to add to the current Xperia line-up."

We've seen just how seriously US networks are taking 4G, with the launch of several new handsets from Nokia, Sony and Motorola to name a few.

"Those Canadians have been having a bit of a tough time of late.

Over the last month many people moved back home for a few days of family time before reconnecting to their real lives in the new year, and for international travel the "reconnection" is quite literal. Using your mobile in another country makes your phone bill look like your credit card number, but when before we used to leave the useless bricks behind, now we just turn off the phone functions. Because even without the talky parts, modern phones are seriously smart."
