5 days ago | POSTED IN News
Ice Cream Sandwich is coming for the Samsung Galaxy S2, this much we know. What we don’t yet know is exactly how its going to look and work with Samsung’s TouchWiz UI stacked on top it. This, the latest leak of ICS for the GS2, gives us another taster of how things might shape up. So far it’s not looking like there’s a drastic visual change from how things already are on the Galaxy S2. As you can see from the video above, the new-look Google Search bar sits in the centre...

Mid-range Asus Transformer Prime surfaces?
5 days ago | POSTED IN News
The ASUS Transformer Prime is a distinctly premium tablet. With its £499 price tag and quad-core processor, it's naturally going to be too dear for some readers (and tech-writers) to buy just yet.

Images of a tablet dubbed the Asus TF300 have just been leaked and while some others are calling it the Transformer 3, our guess is it's...

With a Tegra 2 dual-coreprocessor and expandability options coming out of every end, the original Asus Transformer is still an extremely current device and shouldn't be discounted from tablet buyer's minds, especially taking into account its fantastic keyboard. That said,...
