Our Google Nexus S review went live this morning, so naturally we thought it high time to re-evaluate our Best Android phone Top 5.

Read on to see the newly revised Best Android phone Top 5!
The Google Nexus S ships before the end of the year, and our review is already up for you to tuck into. Now, how’s about a hands on? We’re giving you the chance on Wednesday to come along and try it for yourself at our latest reader inquisition!
Hooray! Wikileaks: The Game is here. It was inevitable really but indie developers have ganged together to build games based on stories found in the Wikileaks cables with the Wikileaks Stories project. Among the games based on fact, Wikileaks: The Game is entirely a work of fiction with you playing Wikileaks editor-in-chief (and current guest of Her Majesty’s Prisons) Julian Assange attempting to steal files from President Obama in the Oval office. It’s a surprisingly addictive Flash game and we’ve not yet managed to nab the secret info from Barack’s laptop yet. Hit the link below and give it a try yourself.

iPhone 4 jailbreak detection which had slipped into the iOS API earlier this year has been quietly shelled. Code diggers say the decision seems odd but there are other methods open to Apple if it really wants to know whether you’ve been playing fast and loose with your iPhone 4, iPod touch or iPad.

We love Minecraft but, as our Minecraft review notes, it is still currently in a sometimes flakey alpha incarnation. Good news from Minecraft creator Notch then, Minecraft is about to head into its beta phase on December 20. Notch says the Minecraft beta will be more polished, have a stronger API for modders to work their magic and include the possible introduction of a narrative to a game which has so far been more sandbox than storytime. If you bought the Minecraft alpha, the Minecraft beta and all future updates will be free. If you didn’t get in early, Minecraft beta will cost you €14.95, still not too bad for such a resolutely creative and intriguing game.
