We’ve been taking a look at the latest Smartphone-friendly headphones from Skullcandy, known as the Uprock range. As with most Skullcandy headphones, the Uprocks are available in a selection of colour combinations – design is something these guys do extremely well.

The Motorola Xoom is an impressive piece of tech. The preferred size of a tablet is quite a personal thing. The Xoom being somewhere between that of larger tablets like the iPad, and smaller tablets such as Dell’s Streak 7 is quite a good place to be.

The first thing you’ll notice before you even pick up this phone is the size of the screen – it’s huge! At 4inches, the Super AMOLED Plus screen glows with pride.

Something that hasn’t really been attempted since Nokia’s N-Gage, which was launched in 2003 and re-released in ’08. It works. The phone slides out to reveal the gamepad, which functions exactly as it should. With a d-pad, X, O Triangle, [...]

HTC have a earned a reputation in the mobile industry as building phones of outstanding quality. Recently we had the opportunity to play around with the Desire S and see if it lives up to that standard. The original Desire was like the showcase product from HTC and was one of their biggest sellers of 2010. It bared a high resemblance to the Google branded Nexus One. HTC had a few tricks up sleeves [...]
