The price leaks for the BlackBerry PlayBook put it on a level with the Advent Vega, over £100 cheaper than an unlocked BlackBerry Torch, and way below an iPad. But are these prices too good to be true? Earlier this month, RIM co-Chief Executive Officer Jim Balsillie said the BlackBerry PlayBook would be under $500 ($310), and yesterday more specific prices leaked, placing the PlayBook at between $399 (£256) and $599 (£384). But are these prices too good to be true? Are you turning away from the Vega, and in the direction of the PlayBook as we speak? Click and tell...
The wave of Android tablets is breaking, with a new budget Android tablet launched almost every week. We've seen offerings from Advent, Binatone, Creative, Archos, Hannspree and more, all for under £300, and many for around the £100. Some of them were better than others, and the Advent Vega has trumped the rest in the attention it's received. The question is, will you be investing in an Android tablet this Christmas? Click and tell, and drop us a line in the comments to tell us who you're buying for, yourself or someone else?
Last week we asked you who would win the iPad publishing wars, after news broke that Branson would also be producing an iPad-only publication to challenge The Daily, the iPad only newspaper Rupert Murdoch will be launching. 44 per cent of you said that Branson would win, and 40 per cent said that there was no winner here except Steve Jobs. There was little faith in Murdoch, who only snagged seven per cent of the vote.

While we love iTunes, and use it every day, we think there's still a long way to go until it's a perfect service. What's the one thing you would do to improve iTunes? Click and tell...
After the slightly troubling/exciting news (depending on which way you look at it) that there are plans afoot at Sky and the BBC to broadcast the royal wedding in 3D, we want to know whether you, the people, actually want to see the wedding on 3D TV. Do we really want to see Wills and Kate dressed up to the nines, dripping in jewels, and popping out of the screen at us? Click and tell...
Do you use Wi-Fi hotspots? They're everywhere, on trains, planes, in pubs and parks, but last week we found massive Wi-Fi hotspot failure rates when we tested the two biggest providers in the UK. We want to know if the provider you use is a Wi-Fi NotSpot horror or a hotspot hero. Tell us where you go for reliable Wi-Fi, and who you steer clear of...

Cut the Rope just passed the three million download mark. We're obsessed with Om Nom (who is way cuter than Rovio's birds and pigs), and the Angry Birds franchise efforts are making it increasingly uncool. There's an update on the way for Cut the Rope too, which updates for retina display, adds 25 levels, 11 achievements, and zero gravity. There's also an Android version in the pipeline. Cut the Rope is already snapping at the heels of Angry Birds in the App Store charts. When the iPhone update arrives, will Cut the Rope take top spot? You tell us!
