Steel yourself for what has to be one of the most interesting looking phones of the year, the BlackBerry Porsche Design P’9881. It’s made of stainless steel and leather, but aside from that it’s a regular old BlackBerry, with some pretty standard specs, TechCrunch reports. But then that’s always the way with this luxury gear: …

Is there any limit to Siri‘s abilities? The voice-controlled personal assistant can already help you hide a dead body (in the US anyway), update you on the weather and write messages for you, and now it seems it’ll soon be able to control your TV.

There’s no subscription, no login, no password. It’s about as simple as mobile music gets. It streams “locally relevant music” across hundreds of channels to your handset, though we’re still trying to …

Developer Steven Troughton-Smith had Siri working on his iPhone 4 shortly after the 4S launched, but with one major problem: it couldn’t talk to Apple’s servers, so local info couldn’t be retrieved. (A bit like using Siri in the UK, then.) Now he’s fixed that, making it work fully on an iPhone 4, 9to5Mac reports. So what excuse does Apple …

RIM may have delayed its update to the PlayBook, and be being sued by another tech company (as well as its own customers), but here’s one reason for BlackBerry fans to smile: fresh details on the first handset to run the BBX operating system.

First up at Nokia World? The Asha line for the developing world — the 200, 201, 300 and 303. They run S40, but best of all? They’re all getting Angry Birds.
