Cumbersome glasses are undoubtedly one of the main stumbling blocks preventing 3D TVs becoming truly mainstream. Well LG has redesigned its 3D glasses for next year, offering lighter, more curvaceous designs to tempt us Brits into spending. But will it be enough? All three new pairs are passive, like the ones you get in cinemas, …

An oddity. That’s how we described the Samsung Galaxy Note back when we reviewed it in November. And it’s fair enough: with a 5.3-inch screen, it sits halfway between a phone and a tablet. It’s thin ice territory, as some have failed before when they’ve strayed so far from the standard product classifications. But it seems the Galaxy Note is doing quite …

If you’ve never seen an OLED TV screen, do yourself a favour and right that wrong. The images are brighter, colours more vivid, but the only problem is the price. Now LG has thrown caution to the wind and come out with the world’s largest OLED TV panel. And the best news? It won’t mean remortgaging the house. The 55-inch …

Good news if you’re not a fan of the Sense UI that HTC insists on slathering all over its Android phone — you can now download a program that lets you tweak your handset, so you can customise the user interface. And it’s not some dodgy program knocked up in a shed by hackers, it’s issued by HTC. It’ll work …

It may look like a little like a Transformer (don’t tell Hasbro), with its stainless steel and leather casing, but on the inside the Porsche Design P’9981 is all BlackBerry — and it’s on sale now at Harrods, Phone Arena reports. Apparently the device is “in very high demand and is selling fast” a Harrods spokesperson told Phone Arena. Considering …

LG has already let us know about some of its CES plans, but this could be the gigantic cherry on top. It’s a mammoth 84-inch TV, with a resolution of 3,840×2,160 pixels. That’s classed as ‘ultra definition’ — with four times the resolution of HD. Four times. Insane. Oh, and did we mention this thing is 84 inches across? It …

More news on Apple’s much-rumoured forthcoming standalone TV set: it’ll come in 32- and 37-inch sizes, according to a report on Digitimes, and will launch sometime between April and September next year. The size is presumably to keep the price down, because if it comes packing all the abilities we’re expecting, including Siri for voice control, it should make other …

If you’re looking forward to the iPhone 5… you may be in for a bit of a wait, we’re afraid. The latest rumour says it’ll come in the autumn, a year on from the iPhone 4S, BGR reports. And it’ll be wearing rubber. Yes, you read that right. It’ll use rubber or plastic, according to BGR’s sources, similar to that …

In journalese, this is known as a reverse ferret. Just before Christmas we brought you news Samsung was updating its line of Galaxy devices to Android Ice Cream Sandwich next year, with the S and Ace being notable omissions. Now comes word it’ll do everything it can to bolt ICS onto the S, Pocketnow reports. We contacted Samsung for comment …

Siri may have its drawbacks. It can’t look up local services thanks to Apple not signing deals with any in the UK. So ask it for a local information and you’ll be out of luck. But one young boy was shocked at more than Siri’s incompetence, when it blasted him with a four-letter tirade, The Sun reports. Charlie Le Quesne …
