ZTE Racer
In April, I met with Chinese handset manufacturer ZTE to get a sneak peak at the company’s first Android phone in the UK – the ZTE Racer. However, since then, the phone has had a couple tweaks and its firmware has been updated from 1.6 to 2.1 Eclair. So is the Racer worth the £99 price tag? Watch the video!

Huawei S7 Android Tablet
A couple weeks back we pondered the sweet spot between mobile phones and the PC, particularly with the advent of the tablet category. We compared the 5-inch mid-tablet Dell Streak with the nearly 10-inch Apple iPad. Well, this week – we have a new contender that sits neatly in between at 7 inches. We take an exclusive sneak peak at Huawei’s new Android tablet, the S7.

Dell Streak vs. Apple iPad
Remember when phones were enormous? Think 1980′s. As technology advanced, phones and personal computers became smaller, thinner and cheaper. Then something changed on the mobile side: phone screens grew larger. Now, as phones are getting larger and computers are getting smaller – are the two converging to the same point? And what’s the size of that happy medium? In this special video, I explore screen sizes and pin the 5 inch Android-powered Dell Streak against the nearly 10 inch iPad. Who will come out on top?

To say that the Consumer Electronics Show is overwhelming is an understatement, considering over 20,000 new products were launched in Las Vegas last week. Fret not, cuz I trekked around Sin City to get my hands on the best new mobile phones.

How to Ignore your Friends and Categorise People
Last week, I went back to Paris to see Orange’s La Collection, a biannual showcase of new products and applications. There, I got a first-hand look at a futuristic touchscreen multimedia landline called Livephone Touch and two Android apps – TV D’Orange – a mobile TV app, now over WiFi and On, a new app that lets you ignore your contacts.
