The Lumia 800 is out, the Lumia 710 is coming early next year — and the Lumia 601 could be Nokia’s third Windows Phone handset, according to the online rumour mill. Pocketnow has got its mitts on some pictures of a new Nokia Windows Phone (via what it describes as “a pretty reliable source”), supposedly called the Lumia 601. The …

I’m a longtime fan of Tales2Go, the iOS app that provides unlimited children’s audiobooks for a flat monthly rate. Tales2Go – Happy Holidays bundles 20 seasonal audiobooks into one app, with no subscription required. Instead, you pay just 99 cents. That’s a great deal any way you slice it, and an outright steal for parents and schoolteachers alike. The collection …

We’re not exactly short of affordable Android phones at the moment, but thrifty smart phone fans might be interested to hear there’s another option incoming. T-Mobile has just announced the imminent launch of a smart phone called the Vivacity on its UK site, and it certainly looks like it’s going to be leaning towards the budget end of the Android …

It’s everyone’s favorite food-holiday, folks. And that can only mean one thing: it’s time to dress your Android device up like a turkey! Well, sort of. I am not suggesting you physically attach feathers or a beak to your phone, but I am absolutely suggesting you download some fun turkey-related apps on your device, like now. Access Lane First, go …

Arrested Development is coming back! Great news for fans of the cult US comedy — and for online telly-watching, as the new episodes are financed by on-demand service Netflix. And there’s even more good news for us Brits, as Netflix will have launched over here by then. The popular US online movie and TV service will begin streaming to the …

Samsung has launched an amended Galaxy Tab 10.1 design in Germany in the wake of Apple being granted an injunction by a German Regional Court, leaving Aussies to wonder whether Samsung has something similar up its sleeve for Australia after the tablet was also blocked down under.

Well look at this. A source has dropped some Apple-flavoured rumours regarding the iPad 3, iPhone 5, and next-gen MacBook Pro. They’re all due next year, and they all sound awesome. The iPad 3 will actually be thicker than the second generation, reports iLounge, though only by 0.7mm. This is to make space for a dual light bar system, apparently, …

We know, we know. The Lumia 800 has only just hit the shelves (and mighty fine it is, too), and already there’s a successor waiting in the wings to empty your wallet. That’s life.

Walter Isaacson, writer of the recently released biography of Steve Jobs, has revealed that the late Apple supremo was working on ‘reinventing’ three key areas of technology: television, photography and textbooks. And despite the famed secrecy surrounding the development of Apple products, it seems Jobs may have been uncharacteristically candid with Isaacson — although we shouldn’t expect the writer to …

Amazon.com takes a hit with the sale of each Kindle Fire, but the loss isn’t as bad as initially thought. A look at the build of materials and manufacturing costs concluded that Amazon spends $201.70 on each Kindle Fire, only slightly above its $199 retail price, according to research firm IHS iSuppli. The cost is lower than the nearly $210 …

Better raid the piggy bank, because AT&T just raised the price of its low-end iPhone 3GS to 99 cents. The iPhone 3GS was free with a two-year contract, but MacRumors spotted the modest price increase today. It’s a curious move by AT&T, which gets little payoff for the price increase, yet loses the ability to tout offering a free iPhone. …

It may have been a bit overlooked, with some recent announcements, but Samsung’s phone-cum-tablet is a pretty decent device. And now it’s come to O2, less than a week after the network announced it would, reports Engadget. Well you can’t accuse it of not putting its money where its mouth is. Previously the 5.3-incher was available on Orange, Vodafone, T-Mobile, …

Not one to take it lying down, Samsung has given its Galaxy Tab 10.1 a new look — a look it hopes is different enough to the iPad 2 to overturn the ban, which has been enforced in several countries due to legal squabbles over design similarities. Named the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1n (the top device in this image), it …

Research In Motion is stuck between an Apple and an Ice Cream Sandwich. After some initial excitement for the new line of BlackBerry 7 smartphones and a strong launch–both unusual for RIM for the past year–sales are starting to sputter.
