Let’s not beat around the bush. The HTC HD7 is the phone the HTC HD2 should have been: a mammoth smartphone that’s all screen, with a working OS. Windows Phone 7 is that panacea, but there are a few more differences – plus some serious competition from the likes of Samsung and LG. Find out how the HTC HD7 holds up now with our HTC HD7 review.
Microsoft is touting Windows Phone 7’s new “hub” approach to smartphone UI as groundbreaking, and sitting at the top of that new live tile homescreen is the main attraction and one you’ll likely use most: the People hub.

Now we know you shuddered just then, and we don’t blame you, but haven’t you heard? Microsoft’s done good this time, honest guv. Read on to find out how in this part of our Windows Phone 7 review.
Windows Phone 7. Only a complete moniker makeover could help users even begin to learn to forgive Microsoft for the atrocities it’s committed with Windows Mobile in recent years. Rightly, Redmond’s razed it to the ground and salted to the earth: Windows Phone 7 won’t run previous Windows Mobile apps. Indeed, bar a few fonts, it’s nothing like you’ve ever seen in Windows Mobile. Is that for better or worse? We’ve been testing it out on a couple of phones for the past fortnight to find out: see what we made of it in our full Windows Phone 7 review right here.
UPDATE: Ah, random UK gadget markup strikes again. The 11-inch, with a 1.4GHz CPU , 2GB of RAM and a 64GB SSD will cost £849 – a bit more than the actual $999 pricetag is worth in British pounds right now (£630). The 1.86GHz 13-inch new MacBook Air with a 128GB SSD starts at £1,099. Owee.
The new MacBook Air is here! Wait, did we say MacBook Air? We meant MacBook Airs. There are two: a unibody refresh of the 13.-3incher, and an even smaller 11.6-inch. Who needs a Mac netbook when you can have one of these?
Apple just showed us the new OS X Lion. Steve Jobs says it’s “inspired by some of the innovations in the iPad and iPhone… it’s Mac OS X meets the iPad.”
Think multi-touch everywhere, an App Store for your desktop Mac, new homescreens for your apps and some neat improvements to the way apps load and quit.

A Mac App Store was unveiled as part of Apple’s sneak peek into its next version of OS X, Lion. It works just like the App Store for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, but you won’t have to wait a year to try it out – it’s coming to Snow Leopard “within 90 days”, according to Steve Jobs. Developer submissions open next month, and the 70/30 revenue split and options for paid and free apps remain intact. Will you be using it?
Apple just tore the covers off the all-new iLife suite of apps. There’s all the apps you love, with new features galore. Want to know what’s new in iLife 11? Read on, we’ve broken it all down.
