[gallery] “Three times in 87 years we let a woman design a product. Isn’t that great?!” That’s B&O’s CEO and president Tue Mantoni speaking at this morning’s London launch - clearly proud of his company’s radical, forward-thinking attitude to gender equality. The female journalist he was motioning towards? Not so impressed. But maybe, just maybe, these “women” people he’s talking about know their stuff: the new B&O A3 iPad speaker is a stunningly different device. Shame you probably can’t afford one... Read more

[gallery] Waiting in anticipation for Apple to drop the bomb and reveal its HD TV sets with Apple TV super powers? What if we told you that you could buy one tomorrow? And what if we also told you that it wasn’t made by Apple? We’re talking about the B&O V1: The TV that’s just beaten Apple to it. Read more

playbook-test-3
I’ve spent the last couple of weeks using RIM’s seemingly ill-fated PlayBook, to see just how ill-fated it actually is. At just £169, with new software, a raft of new apps and all the right accessories, can it finally be seen as a viable tablet alternative to the new iPad? I’m at the end of the journey now, so I need to make a decision... Read more

The CD, and physical media as a whole, is a dying idea, right? Not if Samsung has anything to say about it. While rumour abounds that Microsoft is going to abandon discs for its next Xbox, Sammie’s trying to make sure they live on, even going so far as to bring playback to your Android tablet with this: the world’s thinnest optical drive.

Excited to the point of exploding about the Samsung Galaxy S3? It might be time to take a step back and look at the bigger picture if word from Digitimes is to be believed. The rumour mill is churning, and has just popped out a solid nugget of golden gossip: The next Nexus phone is coming, and it’s coming from Samsung once again... Read more
keyboard-ipad
For a while now, we’ve been wondering if Apple has plans on merging its MacBook line with the iPad. The only downside of Apple’s tablet is that typing at length a bit of a chore, so a converged solution - akin to the Asus Transformer Prime - makes sense, right? Wrong. It’s not going to happen as long as CEO Tim Cook’s in charge... Read more
GOOGLE-DRIVE
Google Drive has finally launched. Yeah, we know; you’re hardly surprised. The service was the subject of more leaks and rumours than even the Samsung Galaxy S3 this week, and late last night Google officially dropped the news on its blog. We’ve been through and had a play with the cloud storage service, and have found one sneaky feature that may drop all over Dropbox from a great height. Read on past the jump for the full details.
