Research In Motion is having a tough time of it up in Waterloo at the moment. Marketshare is flagging, executives are on the way out, and its new operating system, BlackBerry 10, isn’t coming to the rescue until the end of the year. But one thing CEO Thorsten “Let’s Rock And Roll This” Heins won’t do? According to a new report: give away the secret sauce that is BlackBerry Messenger. Read more

siri-fail
When Apple unveiled Siri, buried inside the iPhone 4S at the tail end of last year, it did so in a pretty unusual way. How so? Siri has a ‘beta’ tag attached to it, symbolising that it’s not quite the finished, polished product we’ve come to expect from Apple. Now a new source has come out of the woodwork declaring that the voice assistant is an “embarrassment” to Apple. Would Steve Jobs have let it be this way? Read more

After a hiatus from the fickle world of celebrity, Apple has recently made the decision to veer back into using ads with celeb iPhone 4S endorsements. Whilst previous efforts starred Zooey “so kooky it hurts” Deschanel and Samuel L. “Swearword” Jackson, a couple of new ones have cropped up starring none other than hollywood oddball John Malkovich. Wanna know how to be John Malkovich? Read on. Read more

Yesterday, Google’s CEO Larry Page made an appearance at the Google Zeitgeist event in London with some ungainly lump of plastic clinging to the side of his head. It was of course Google Glass, the company’s oddball new project that’s trying to mix Android, AR and your eyewear into one seamless whole. Except it can’t, and it won’t. Google Glass has the potential to be the company’s biggest folly - a classic example of trying to get ahead of the curve by veering madly away from it. Why so bad? Because it shows a real lack of insight about the tech that’s currently sticking to the wall, and what’s been bouncing out of favour. Here’s what’s wrong... Read more

metawatch
Familiar with Pebble Watch? It’s Kickstarter’s most successful ever project, having received over $10 million from its backers. Pebble is a smart watch that talks to your iOS or Android device, letting you access functions from your wrist. The only problem is that it’s now oversubscribed, meaning getting hold of one is going to be a lengthy process. Fret not: MetaWatch, a worthy competitor, has just extended its reach to include iPhone support. Read more

A while back we announced that HTC had decided to do the right thing and bring Android 4.0 to almost all of its major handsets from the last two years. It’s great news, but HTC remained a bit vague as to when the update would drop. Now, though, the mobile giant has updated its website to reveal the relevant due dates. Question is: when will you get yours? Read more

Samsung’s tactic with tablets over the last couple of years has been to throw everything at the wall and see what sticks. It’s enjoyed middling success with its Galaxy Tab slates, but it’s never quite managed to match that iPad magic. With the Galaxy Note 10.1 receiving a power boost, though, has Samsung finally got it right? Read more
