With Nokia poised to release a new, upgraded version of the iconic 3310 handset, opinion in the marketplace has been polarised. While the device has been subjected to ten-times more pre-registration interest than any other flagship handset so far in 2017. For example, some dissenting voices have claimed that the device will struggle to compete…
With Apple’s cash pile growing with the day, we are wondering when (or whether) will they start making big moves, as in – big acquisitions. The iPhone maker typically acquires smaller firms, but with more than $200 billion sitting at their offshore accounts, one wonders how on earth will they spend/invest all the cash. There…
Let me start by saying this – the Jabra Storm is by far the best Bluetooth headset I’ve ever used. Period. I know there are (arguably) better models, but I haven’t been able to play with one of those. The Storm offers a great sound quality, it’s easy to carry around (you can forget you…
These days we get to see a number of different smart watches. There are those that look and act like small computers, running a kind of specialized operating system, like Apple Watch, Samsung’s Tizen watches, Pebble and an array of Android Wear devices. Products made by Martian are different. First and foremost they look like…
Chinese (handset makers) are coming and they seem ready to take on the Korean giants. Just last week, I got a chance to play with the Mlais M4 Note, a phablet-sized device that offers an amazing bang for the buck. That’s $159 for those who count. At first glance, the M4 Note looks like a…

After phones and tablets, we look at hot accessories and wearables that were announced at Mobile World Congress 2015. As you’re about to see, there are quite a few of these, and not all of them are available immediately. Quite the contrary, for most products listed here, you’ll have to wait for at least another…
Microsoft is finally adding support for Bluetooth keyboards to its mobile platform. Why it was missing from the original Windows Phone is beyond me; especially when we know that it existed even in Windows Mobile 6.x back in the day. I do understand that Windows Phone was written from scratch, but still… this sounds so…
Last time we talked about new smartphones that were announced during Mobile World Congress; now we’re talking about tablets, namely those running Android OS. Surprisingly, or not, there were not that many of them. Perhaps it’s the shrinking margins to blame for this, or perhaps the big boys focused their efforts on launching new phones.…
It’s quite a show here in Barcelona. Many companies announced new devices, including HTC and Samsung which — rather than hosting their own events — returned to MWC to unveil their flagship phones. In this post we want to sum it all up for you; to show you all of the phones that were announced…
