Apple may have disappointed us by releasing the Apple iPhone 4S when we were all hoping for the iPhone 5. However, despite the fact the latest iteration of Apple's smartphone is less than a month old and the fact it's proving extremely popular (four million handsets were sold in the first three days of availability) there's plenty of speculation on the web about the next version of the iPhone,

The Toshiba Qosmio F755-3D290 offers bleeding-edge technologies--such as auto-stereoscopic, glasses-free 3D--inside a bulky, overweight chassis. The display is gorgeous, and the audio playback quality is good, but they're overshadowed by the machine's heft, as well as its mediocre keyboard and pointing device. And as for the quality of that auto-stereoscopic 3D...well, I’ll get to that

Nokia’s first Windows Phone handset will launch in the UK on 16 November, just a day before Google’s rival flagship phone. The device, which will be available through all the major networks, marks Nokia’s first serious attempt to capture the smartphone market since it announced that it would be adopting Microsoft’s mobile operating system. It pits the Finnish company directly against Google,

The ZTE Skate sits in your palm like a plastic tombstone, its huge 4.3 inch screen making it feel as though it’s halfway to being a tablet computer. But a smartphone it is, and one that has advantages despite its apparent roughness. Apart from the bumper-sized display the way the Skate works will be familiar to anyone who has used an Android phone before, and easily learned for everyone else.

The original Motorola Atrix, announced at the beginning of this year, was one of the first dual-core phones on a 4G network (AT&T’s HSPA+ network). With the introduction of the Atrix 2 ($100 with a new two-year AT&T contract as of October 31, 2011), Motorola has given the Atrix a face-lift. Although the Atrix 2 feels like a minor update to the original, it still offers a lot for that $100 price

The HTC Rhyme Android phone may have originally intended to target females, but this sleek and stylish Android phone should appeal to a broader market, too. On its own the Rhyme doesn't offer anything out of the ordinary.

Research in Motion (RIM) unveiled a new range of Blackberry devices running the latest operating system OS 7. These devices pack a powerful processor under the frame (unlike traditional Blackberry devices) and come in great designs.

Over the past few years, smartphone cameras have evolved significantly. From primitive, low-quality image devices that grabbed photos you wouldn't dream of printing, we've gotten to the point where some have put forth the notion that the iPhone 4S may contain the best camera you've ever owned. For most people, that's debatable, but you can't deny the fact that the camera on your phone is almost

We're happy to see that Nokia isn't really "killing off" MeeGo, a daring, but commercially unsuccessful open source mobile OS, as previous reports suggested.

The HTC Flyer has a faster processor than most of the Android pack: it’s powered by a 1.5GHz ARM Snapdragon processor, but it’s more oversized smartphone than of-the-moment tablet. It runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread rather than Honeycomb, reflecting the fact it was developed and first unveiled prior to the advent of that version of Android.

Nokia's Lumia 800 may have attracted most of the attention, but the company has unveiled two Windows Phone devices. The second is the mid-range Lumia 710 which cuts back on a few features in order to obtain a more affordable price point. In a flashback to the Nokia 5110, the Lumia 710 also has swappable rear covers in multiple colours. The Nokia Lumia 710 is described by the company as a far

It's been a long time coming but Nokia has finally unveiled its first Windows-powered smartphone, the Lumia 800. It shares an almost identical, physical design to the MeeGo-powered N9 but utilises the latest 7.5 "Mango" version of Windows Phone software. We described the Nokia N9 as the best looking and slickest device the company has ever produced, so it's no surprise to see the Nokia Lumia

After four years and five different handsets, a predictable pattern has emerged with Apple’s iPhone. With pre-launch rumours focusing on an iPhone 5, Apple surprised everyone with a handset containing no great surprises.

If you ask Siri, the virtual personal assistant on the iPhone 4S, why it's so great, it answers with disarming humility: "I am what I am." But industry insiders say there's a little more to it than that.

Asus Zenbook UX31E Intel’s thin-and-light Ultrabook concept has been gathering steam over the past few months, with a whole host of players looking to take on Apple’s hugely popular MacBook Air. Proudly leading the charge is Asus with its 13in Zenbook UX31E. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and this little laptop looks startlingly familiar.

Toshiba's touchscreen all-in-one, the DX1215, has one of the best touchscreens I've used--and I don't say that lightly.

Verizon Wireless confirmed late Friday that the Galaxy Nexus from Samsung will be arriving on its LTE network "later this year". Not surprisingly, given the timing, Verizon did not announce a price.

The Dell Latitude E6320 isn't the prettiest ultraportable laptop, but it definitely gets the job done. It's a solid performer, and it has a lot of little features that business professionals will definitely appreciate. Spill-proof keyboard? Check. Business-rugged design? Check. Fast-charging battery? Docking station connector? Bright LED screen? Check, check, check. Our review model, priced at

Most manufacturers choose to leave the Android 3 software front-end well alone: it’s easy to use, looks great and runs smoothly. ViewSonic, however, has revamped the software from the ground up for its pocket-sized ViewPad 7x. You can tell it’s different from the moment you switch it on. You can still navigate between desktops by swiping your finger, but each desktop space has an outline that

By now, you’ve probably gotten an earful about the Samsung Galaxy S II. This Android phone is a hit in Europe and now, after many long months of waiting, it has finally landed in the U.S. on AT&T ($200 with a two-year contract from AT&T). This version of the super thin phone has a big advantage over its sibling, the Epic Touch 4G on Sprint: It supports Near Field Communication (NFC). Other than

The Toshiba Thrive 7" is a compact tablet that has nothing to do with the slimline, 10.1-inch AT200 tablet that the company showed at the IFA trade show in Berlin in September, but it does underscore how quickly technologies and designs in the tablet market are evolving. The 7in Toshiba Thrive 7" model is due out in December. The Thrive 7"- yes, the 7" appears to be part of its official name

Tablets can be great companions for lots of things, but if you want to use one for work, you'll probably need a case that props up the screen on an angle, plus an external keyboard for efficient typing. The Asus Eee Pad Slider SL101 eliminates the need for both of those accessories, while retaining the portability that tablet buyers crave. The Slider is notable for its sturdily hinged slide-out

Sony has an enviable record of producing top-quality, high-end laptops, but its attempts to jump on the budget portable bandwagon have so far met with mixed success. It ignored netbooks until it was too late, and even tried to reinvent the genre with the ill-fated, pocket-sized P Series. Its belated entry into the tablet race, the Tablet S, is a much more mainstream affair. Pricing is on a par

Looking for a U.S. Cellular world phone that won't break the bank when you're abroad? The BlackBerry 9850 has a killer feature for international business travelers: it uses less data to accomplish the same tasks than other smartphones, lowering your international roaming costs. But the 9850 falls short in key areas, with a touch screen (and touch keyboard) that don't measure up to either the

The Samsung Admire ($129) is a fine, midrange Android smartphone. It's not a device for power users, but it's a decent introduction to Android for MetroPCS customers looking to take advantage of the carrier's inexpensive monthly plans. It's not perfect, and there are better options out there, but it should satisfy people who aren't too demanding of their smartphones. Design and Call Quality

Maybe none of these adult-aimed tablets but one specially made for children – Leapfrog’s LeapPad Explorer Tablet for kids is tipped to be one of the most popular toys this Christmas.

Jexaa is UK-based company that specialises in producing cheap Android tablets, and like other models at around this price, its JexTab 812 HD doesn’t sport Honeycomb. Instead, you get a slightly modified version of the designed-for-smartphone Android 2.3. In theory that's a bad idea. On many other tablets of the JexTab's ilk this usually leads to major flaws: smartphone graphics don't normally

Apple may have the best tablet PC bar none, and a sturdy one at that in its real aluminium construction. But it’s not indestructible, and still benefits from a cover that can protect its back and corners.

For this new version, the X10 brand is gone, and the internals have received a major update. Where the old X10 made do with a 600MHz processor, the new model uses a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU – as found in Sony Ericsson’s larger, more expensive Xperia arc and Play handsets. And as

Smartphone users seem to be divided into two camps: those that are happy using onscreen keyboards and those who prefer proper keys and buttons. Various phones have tried to straddle this gap, offering both options in one package, usually by taking a normal touch-screen phone and tacking on a slide-out Qwerty keyboard.

The Toshiba AT-100 feels chunky compared with the svelte, lightweight market leading tablets, namely the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Apple iPad 2. But tucked neatly along the AT-100's edges are its secret weapons: an SD Card slot, plus Mini-USB, USB, and HDMI ports.
