The results, according to Root Wireless, seem to show that T-Mobile came out on top, while Verizon came out at …

Humax has had a pretty good year, growing 70 per cent and now commanding 40 per cent of the Freeview recorder market. It’s also been the leader in freesat PVRs, one of only a handful of companies to offer HD recorders for the satellite service. Now it’s time for the company to dominate the recently announced Freeview HD platform, and …

Projectors aren’t for everyone: they take a certain size room and very specific lighting conditions to really work properly. The gigantic HD image is worth the effort though, and for far less money than an equivalent-sized TV. The BenQ W600 costs around £500 if you shop around, and will throw an image of up to 300 inches, in theory. Gamers …

We haven’t heard of ZTE devices in a while, so it’s interesting that the Bluetooth Special Interest Group has recently approved a never-seen-before ZTE F350 for its device database. It clearly has the Verizon branding and logo on it, so we know where this one is going. However, we don’t really know a lot about it–there’s little indication if it’s …

A start-of-the-week treat for iPhone fanboys — Google has released a new entry in its series of behind-the-scenes Nexus One videos, this time featuring the search giant’s smart phone being squeezed, dropped, bent and subjected to several other flavours of abuse. This being a Google production you won’t get to see the phone actually splinter and break — frustrating stuff …

Josh Miller/CNET Just last week, the Motorola Droid gotpartial multitouch support with Google Maps 3.4, but that was little consolation for Droid customers who still had to look on in jealously as Nexus One owners got to enjoy multitouch in the browser and photo gallery as well as Google Goggles support. Well, retract your claws Droid owners because it now …

On Monday only, get 27 apps for the price of, well, none. What’s better than 27 apps for 99 cents? Why, 27 apps for zero cents, of course. That’s what you get from iCatchall, which, like last week’s App Genie, delivers more than two dozen tools under one app roof. Normally it’s 99 cents, but in conjunction with previously mentioned …
