Once again The Gadget Show Live rocks on up to the NEC in Birmingham leaving us with questions like “is it any good?”, “should I go?” and “what are the gadgets like?” This blogger did not attend during the press day; instead four of us, including one wheelchair, went on the first day and got […]
Dragons Vs Unicorns – can there be a winner?
Last month Geek Native directed you to a Kickstarter for Zombies Vs Werewolves and asked which side you would back. Turns out that not many of you back either side; the campaign only raised $3,400 of the $7,500 goal. Step forward another challenger – and this time they need to raise an incredible $45,000 in […]
Is the Samsung Galaxy Note elephant real? Or a fake?
Samsung are into their video marketing and are pretty good at growing viral videos. I suspect this latest video to help boost the sales of the Samsung Note will be another success. The Samsung Galaxy Note is an Android device that’s larger than a phone but smaller than a tablet. It’s designed for, well, for […]
Race car science as micro arc oxidation helps create HTC One S cases
Sometimes the science aspects of this blog merge with the tech aspects of this blog. Makes sense, right? The surprise is that it doesn’t happen more often. I suspect that the science isn’t often seen as exciting enough by the marketing departments and so no cool videos are created to explain it. Horrah, then, for […]
The future of tabletop RPG? The Galaxy Beam
Traditional tabletop roleplaying isn’t ignoring technology and is not simply surrendering to the MMORPGs. For example, Pathfinder is being developed for the online world by Goblinworks and they’re not using the traditional MMORPG model (a hybrid, in fact) for this, D&D have a new virtual tabletop and mobile sites like iPlay4e have shown some gamers […]

Brisk launches Star Wars game for iOS and Android
The drink brand Brisk has launched a Star Wars game for iPhone and Android. The game is hugely tied into their Facebook profile and grows as people take part. I like the catch. Games have had the ability to unlock content before. This is a game and ad so the community has to unlock content […]
Magic: The Gathering mobile app will come to Android
Wizards of the Coast have announced an iOS application for Magic: The Gathering. The good news is that they’ve also said an Android app is in production.
Transformer Prime fight: Hasbro sues Asus over transforming tablet
Every day for nearly a month I’ve checked Amazon to see whether they have the latest Asus Transformer Prime ready for pre-order yet. The TF201 model looks like it’s going to be amazing. It’s a tablet that becomes a laptop. It ships with Android 3.2 but will get the Android 4.0 update soon. Two key […]
PlayStation 3 controllers for the Sony Tablet S
Sony’s first two Android tablets are the Sony S and Sony P. Previously the difference had been in their shape. The S is wedged shape. It’s not thin like an iPod at all; instead it was designed so that it could sit on your table and be oriented for easy reading. That makes a lot […]
