Could Ingress And Glass Become Google’s Next Killer Product?


For the past couple of weeks I’ve been playing a game called Ingress, developed by Google and currently being played in closed invite-only beta across the world. The game, which draws heavily on a kind of Matrix meets StarCraft science fiction styling, melds augmented reality with smartphones, computers and the kind of backstory that only a Hollywood scriptwriter could dream up.

THL W100 – is this Quad Core, Jelly Bean phone at just $159 worth buying? Yep. [Review]


High end smartphones are all well and good, but not everyone has $700+ to drop on a mobile, even if it’s got more processing power than the space shuttle. For those on a budget the choice is limited when it comes to top spec handsets, unless you’re prepared to compromise in some way.

Nokia Asha 501 wants to give everyone high-end design that’s accessible


Just about every day you see a new smartphone, tablet, or laptop crop up that has a rather lofty price tag attached to it. All of those may have the latest or most impressive hardware and software, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the best. You can still have good quality without paying an exorbitant amount of money. Nokia has been known to make sturdy phones in the past, but they wanted to make a touchscreen smartphone that was affordable.

Buycott – finally there’s a guilt free way to shop [Freeware]


It’s hard to remain a ‘concerned’ citizen nowadays because you can never tell whether a product you’re buying comes from a company whose ethics are questionable or worse. There are so many different degrees of ownership in the major corporates, that it’s almost impossible to trace who owns what when it comes to consumer products on the shelves.

USB Utility Charge Tool – the Swiss Army Knife for nerds


It’s an interesting balancing act to see which device is going to die first during the day. While you want to keep everything juiced up and on, you only have so many outlets, and no one wants to carry a random assortment of adapters in their bag.
