"Using the Nokia Lumia 800 to take photos is very much like using a modern compact camera. It produces appealing images that are perfect for sharing in a multitude of different ways, whether that's via the LCD screen, your usual social networks, email or even good old-fashioned prints."

"Computer software giants IBM is teaming up with HTC in a bid to make Android a more attractive platform for the enterprise market."

"Trouble is a-brewing with O2 with the network facing a privacy backlash from users after reports emerged that the company has been sharing its subscribers mobile numbers to each-and-every website that they visit. (Cripes!)"

"A rendered image of a new LG phone has been leaked, and is said to picture the X3, a phone that will introduce the quad-core processor to LG's range.The device itself wouldn't standout in a crowd of one at the moment, but is notable for the three buttons below the screen, rather than the usual four found on Android devices."

"We're over a fortnight into 2012, and that's seven days more than we needed to find the worst iPhone apps. It might seem a bit early, but we'd like to present the worst apps of 2012 and outright challenge the forces of stupidity and greed to come up with something worse (because that'll keep them busy, and prevent them from instituting any new airport security measures or reality shows)."

"911 is like the American emergency number, so it's like 999 but with 88 fewer IQ points. Most people don't realise that the emergency services are incomplete - we have fire, police, ambulance and coast guard, but when people call up to let trained professionals know that they're too stupid to live, there's no Department of Natural Selection to fix the problem. They wouldn't even need weapons, just a truck and a few abandoned old fridges for these idiots to leap into. And if you think that's harsh, it's because you haven't read these stories yet."

"Calling that thing in your pocket a phone is like calling a charging tiger a moving patch of colour: a valid description, but you're missing vital factors which will severely affect your quality of life. 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."

"The Samsung Galaxy Note, the Korean manufacturer's smartphone/tablet hybrid device has received a new update that brings a number of improvements to the device."

"We've all seen those Apple adverts, with people talking to their iPhones using Siri to do such mundane tasks as call home and plan to get milk (it's much easier than merely using the keypad and your memory you see). Well, get ready for Apple to expand and upgrade Siri and make us all that little bit lazier."

"We'd love to be in the boardroom when smartphone manufacturers come up with these mobile names. How did they happen upon the Galaxy Tocco Lite - who made that up? Maybe there were two conversations going on in which the other half of the room were discussing what to have for lunch, when one member says he fancied a Mexican taco. The director silences the room by pointing to the hungry board member and shouts; "You! What did you just say? Tocco? That's damn good.""

"When it comes to innovative new games systems, Sega is definitely number one. Because the Japanese game company has just launched a new series of games that are also urinals."

"The Arab Spring, Michael Jackson's death, the Hudson plane crash. Each of these news stories was transformed by a new dimension of coverage through social media and citizen journalism. Each was instantaneously broken - by people, not journalists - with continuous real-time updates comprising of eye-witness accounts, commentary, images and film. And it was all powered by the once humble mobile phone."
