Amidst the throng of 3D TVs and cool tablets, a huge story to emerge from IFA is the partnership of Sonos and Spotify. A long-time coming but boy is it worth the wait. We grabbed some time with the Sonos crew to get a hands on of the new service and to play with the brand new Sonos iPad app, which is nothing short of brilliant. It's exactly how you'd expect it to work and a real upgrade from the iPhone and official Sonos 200 controllers. Drag and drop albums, artists, songs from your music library or...Read More »

IFA 2010 and following the announcement yesterday of the  Philips 3D Cinema 21:9 Platinum T3 was lucky enough to have a look. With this set the Dutch company adds 3D to it's 21:9 flatpanel offering to create the first 21:9 3D display.   The 59-inch set itself is exceptionally thin and very attractive.

The format means you can watch movies in a more cinemalike experience, without the black letterbox effect.   Check our our exclusive hands-on pictures here.   Like the majority of other consumer 3D sets, active shutter technology means you need...Read More »

Yesterday we brought you news about the Samsung Galaxy Tab, the first handset from the Korean electronics giant. Today we've had a bit of time to play with it and first impressions are good. Pick up the tablet and it feels substantial and at 380g it's roughly half the weight of the iPad. Measuring 190x12x12mm it's easy to hold with one hand as you read or browse. A MicroSD slot is positoned in the side for playing back movies and viewing digital photos, and  - like the iPad (a phrase we'll be using a lot during this...Read More »

A few months ago we got a sneak peak of the technology behind the Panasonic HDC-SDT750, the world's first consumer 3D camcorder, in the shape of a customised version of the SD600. At IFA 2010 Panasonic has been showing the real device and giving more information about how it works. When you pick up the HDC-SDT750 it's surprising how light it feels. Even with the large 3D lens, it's feels manageable enough to use for prolonged periods. - Check our our exclusive Panasonic HDC-SDT750 pictures here Remove the lens and it looks like a...Read More »

It’s hard to argue that Nokia’s E-series isn’t Espoo’s crowning achievement of recent years. The business-based blowers pack in great design, fit well with the functional but hardly fancy S60 interface and rock battery life that draws envious glances from Duracell bunnies.   The E5 is the latest, an entry-level model that nonetheless crams in HSDPA, a 5 megapixel camera and Wi-Fi. If ever a phone was after theBlackBerry Curve 3G, this is it. ------------------------------- More on Nokia Nokia E72 review Nokia C5 review Nokia C6 review -------------------------------- Messaging is at the heart of the Nokia E5....Read More »

Illusion has taken seven years to develop this game. It started life being coded for the PC, Xbox, and PlayStation 2, before being transplanted into a completely new engine. That's a development cycle from another era, one of patience and money rivers. So, what were you expecting?   Fans of the first game, were you expecting a new story of an innocent, drawn reluctantly into the world of organised crime? Mafia 2 isn't such a kind creature. Sandbox fans, perhaps you were thinking that seven years in development would lead to an evolution of the first game, building on the original's linear...Read More »

The Puma phone from Sagem does what so many other phones on the market are trying to do: offer a completely different experience to the rest of the saturated market.   What’s odd is while the main selling point of this handset is the operating system and the solar panel (but more ont that later) it’s not the power or functionality it offers that entices you; it’s the quirkiness.   ------------------------------------------------------------- More on the Puma phone: Puma Phone hands-on Exclusive: more Puma Phones in-coming -------------------------------------------------------------   For instance, the main home screen allows you to designate large and cartoon-like customisable icons for easy access, and is...Read More »
