The PK201 comes with several input methods, including Composite, VGA and Mini HDMI, enabling you to use content from products ranging from an iPhone (with a non-supplied adapter) to a TV or games system. In addition you can simply pop in an microSD card and use it as a standalone device.
Being able to use the [...]
The device is very lightweight and conservative in design – it is not as discreet or as stylish as some headsets we’ve seen, but is reasonably comfortable to wear. It has separate buttons for controlling the volume and answering and ending calls. We found setting it up with a smartphone to be a seamless process, [...]
Back in April, a fantastic little title hit the App Store called Solomon's Keep [99¢/Lite]. It was a dual-stick dungeon crawler that had you ascending through randomized dungeon floors filled with swarms of baddies as you leveled up your wizard collecting loot and gaining new abilities. We really enjoyed Solomon's Keep in our [...]
Slice It! from developer Com2uS is a new puzzle game where you must dissect various shapes into equal parts. It may sound painfully simple, and can be if you're just dealing with straight circles and squares. But Slice It! throws some seriously crazy shapes at you that will have you scratching your head [...]
We review Ave!Comics, the digital comic book reader for iPhone
Ave!Comics is another app in the increasingly prolific digital comic book reader category on the iPhone.
We’ve been looking at quite a few of these apps lately, and with the heavily licensed use of the comicXology technology by the major publishers (Marvel, DC, Image, Boom!Studios) it’s [...]
Swedish iPhone developer Acne Play released their second game on the App Store today. With fantastic art similar to their other title, Comet [99¢], Pizza Boy [$1.99] is a platformer with some of the best controls I've seen in the genre. The story is ridiculous as expected, told through fantastic comic book style sequences that [...]
We've been excited for the Parrot AR.Drone since we first heard about it early this year. After a few different hands-on opportunities at various conventions, it was hard to not see the amazing potential the device had once you got it outside of the little 10 foot by 10 foot tent that was home to [...]
We review the Nokia E5, a BlackBery-esque S60 smartphone from Nokia
Nokia’s E5 is a handset designed to bridge the gap between what we want from a phone when we are at work and what we want from a phone when we aren’t. It has a mini qwerty keyboard which can come in handy in [...]
We take a look at the Samsung Galaxy Tab ahead of our review
The release of the Apple iPad has inspired countless tablet computers, almost all running Android, from numerous other manufacturers both household names and fledgling upstarts.
Many are nothing more than thinly veiled iPad imitators, right down to the look of the buttons and [...]
“Promoting synergy” is a pretty common mantra in today's corporate culture. It encourages all employees to work together in harmony to be stronger and more productive as a unit than they each would have been by working individually. The new game Corporate Fury [$1.99] from developer Swinecrafters is the exact opposite of this [...]

Some interesting new features on the new iPod Touch are the integration of FaceTime, digital cameras, and the new retina display. This is clearly the best iPod Touch that Apple has offered.
Apple continues to position its self in a demanding position in the mobile games market. mainly due [...]
We review Lenses, a creative photography app for iPhone
As users of Photoshop since version one (though not professionally, as such), we like to think we’ve got a pretty good handle on photo filters. At least from a digital standpoint – don’t ask us to pimp out your actual camera.
And because of that, we are [...]
A couple of weeks ago, we had a chance to get some hands-on time with the iPhone and iPad version of Puzzle Agent from Telltale Games. The story of FBI puzzle detective Nelson Tethers was coming together nicely for the iOS devices, and now the game is finally available. Puzzle Agent succeeds beautifully [...]
Rimelands: Hammer of Thor [$4.99] is a new tactical turn-based RPG from developers Dicework and Crescent Moon Games (of Ravensword [$3.99/Lite] fame). We previewed a hands-on video of the game about a month ago that explained how the turn-based combat worked as well as showcasing some of the games many items and weapons. [...]
We review Twitter for iPad – Twitter’s very own free iPad Twitter application
Not two minutes after we brought you a splendid review of the leading iPad Twitter app, Twittelator, does Twitter itself decide to release an official app – and for free as well!
Twitter went back to Tweetie (latterly Twitter for iPhone) app designers [...]

All the way back in the middle of December of last year we first got our hands on EA's Mirror's Edge [$4.99] for the iPhone, but it came without any solid release date. Mirror's Edge then disappeared until the iPad launch when Mirror's Edge for iPad [$9.99] popped up once again. Back then, we figured [...]
We attended the launch of the Motorola Milestone 2, the Android 2.2-powered, MotoBlur-rocking, follow up to last year’s highly successful Motorola Milestone. Here are our first impressions
Motorola officially announced the Motorola Milestone 2 and we were there to get a hands-on first look at the Android 2.2-powered smartphone. Obviously, the Milestone 2 is the [...]
Motorola announced the Android 2.1-powered Defy and we were there for a hands-on first look at the new rugged smartphone from Moto
Motorola has announced the Android 2.2-powered Motorola Milestone 2 and the water, rust and scratch-resistant Motorola Defy, which is also powered by Google’s Android OS – just Éclair (2.1) in this instance.
But [...]
Games based on comic books have been almost as hit or miss as games based on movies in the past, so I think my cautious optimism for Gameloft's recently released Spider-Man: Total Mayhem [$6.99] was well deserved. Sure, there are some absolutely fantastic comic book games such as the quarter-sucking X-Men Arcade Game, and a [...]
The 1986 arcade classic OutRun, with its easy to pick up gameplay and simplistic mechanics, seems like it would be a perfect fit for the iPhone. It's strange then, given the wealth of racing games on the App Store, that no one has taken a serious stab at an OutRun-inspired game yet. Now, [...]
A new iPhone is always greeted with a certain amount of fevered hype and expectation. In the case of iPhone 4 it is deservedly so. With the first genuine redesign of the hardware since the original model and a number of new features in the software this device represents a real leap over what has [...]
The human intellect is a remarkable beast. Just when we think that all possible Zombie concepts have been duly wrung out from our collective minds, developers renderPaz go and throw us a curve-ball. Picture this: you're driving down the post-apocalyptic interstate, weaving through abandoned vehicles strewn everywhere– when you see a hitch-hiker. Naturally, this being [...]
Just a couple of days ago we revealed DeceasedPixel's latest project, Super Mega Worm [$2.99], a game based on the original Death Worm concept by JTR, later made famous by the popular Flash game, Effing Worms. Super Mega Worm is a pixel-art take on the giant worm theme, and is now available.
