Latest Gadgets, Tablets and Smartphones
We wrote not too long ago about the possibility of LOVEFiLM being available to PS3 gamers next month. Now Sony have certified that this is for real as they have crossed the t’s and dotted the i’s as it were and preparing for LOVEFiLM to cater for gamers in the UK.
Once you turn on your PS3 and have downloaded the required update, you will have access to LOVEFiLM’s library of movies via the PlayStation 3’s XMB. [Read more…]
Earlier this week it was reported that the Android version of Angry Birds could possibly be delayed another week or 2 for various reasons. It now appears that this is not the case and that Rovio could have the game out by the end of this week (ie, tomorrow).
The Angry Birds Beta for Android version proved to be very popular with over 1 million people downloading it. It certainly looks to be another hit for the Android platform and Rovio. [Read more…]
We posted a little while ago, a few comment regarding Android 2.2 arriving for the HTC Desire. Its always rather mind-boggling to think why delays such as Android updates can take months to launch for the latest handsets. But nevertheless, as of today, those who own the HTC Desire will finally be getting their long awaited update with thanks to the UK network Three.
We’re not too sure why this update took longer than expected as all Three have said in the past is that it would be a few weeks. But hey, its here. [Read more…]
T3 managed to get some details of the Samsung Galaxy Tab UK price, revealing that it will cost £599 SIM free.
Confirmation of the contract price has also been found as being £199 on a 24 month contract. The 24/month contract will cost £25/month to get it at £199 for the tablet.
Pricing seems a little off to us though as I doubt many, if any, would class the Samsung Galaxy Tab as a mobile phone (even though it does do voice and text messages) as it’s just a little too large for that. With this in mind, I expect that people would much prefer to pay closer to £10/month for a contract that comes with data only. [Read more…]

Microsoft [MSFT] is about to launch a new version of Office for Mac. It is called Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 and is the first updated version in 3 years.
Early reviews indicate that 2011 is a huge improvement when compared to 2008. AllThingsD describe it as being new, faster and a better version. They also report that when opening documents created in Windows on the Mac that the conversion is far better, although not perfect but still better than the 2008 version with the document rendering closer to the Windows version than it ever has before.

When I was a kid (kinda still am depending on who you talk to) I tended to use the little blocks to make spaceships, guns, (not very good) swords and towers. Even now I still like to play around with it a little from time to time though.
What’s tons better though, is that as an exclusive product to Toys ‘R’ Us, you will soon be able to get your hands on a LEGO Wii remote. [Read more…]
First hinted at during the PlayStation 3’s unveiling back in 2005 at E3 and then originally touted to be heading to consoles for a November 2nd release this year, now only to be delayed yet again.
Gran Turismo first hit the shelves way back in December 1995, landing on the humble PlayStation 1 and the series to date has since sold over 50 million copies the world over. [Read more…]

Thanks to Gizmodo, you can now take a look, or have a listen we should say, to all the new SMS ringtones that you will soon be able to select from. [Read more…]
