I admit it, the title for this review is somewhat unorthodox, but there are two reasons for it.

1. iOS 7 concept iOS 7 is the thing I’m most looking forward to on Apple’s horizon – even more than the iPhone 5S.

I’ve been kindly loaned a Galaxy S4 phone (as I’m sure you know by now), and over the past 7 days I’ve been comparing a couple of specific features of the two devices.

Bearing the now familiar Lumia moniker, the 925 retains a similar design language to its predecessors, but has swapped the bright neon colored polycarbonate to cool aluminum. With this set to be the flagship Windows device this year, I decided to see how the…
Late last week, I took delivery of a Samsung Galaxy S4. Sadly, I don’t get to keep it, but I’ve been loaned it long enough for me to get some comparison posts up for your enjoyment. On Friday, I published the S-Voice vs. Siri comparison, and today it’s all about the cameras. I was very intrigued to see how each performed with a variety of shots and in…
