Hands-On With the Nokia 808 Pureview: “Some People Think We’ve Gone Too Far”
Dreamt up in a hotel bar in Japan by a couple of Nokia execs, the Nokia 808 Pureview phone has completely stolen MWC with its 41-megapixel sensor.

Asus is on a roll with its rebranded ‘Transformer Pads’ tablet line, pushing out yet another version.

Panasonic’s Second Eluga, the Eluga Power, Has a Better Battery and Ice Cream Sandwich
It may not be Lumix-branded as we’d hoped, but Panasonic’s second Eluga phone has a 5-inch 1280×720 HD screen so photos shot with the 8-megapixel camera should look crisp and bright. Theoretically. Inside, a dual-core 1.5GHz processor ticks away, powering the Ice Cream Sandwich flavour of Android. Along with many phones announced at MWC this…
Samsung Takes On the Wacom Art Tablets With 10.1-Inch Galaxy Note
Stealing features from the Galaxy Tab tablet and Note phone/tablet/whatever-it-is, the 10.1 inch Galaxy Note is aimed squarely at the creative types. Just like the rumours suggested, the Ice Cream Sandwich tablet comes with an S Pen stylus for sketching or jotting down notes, with the new marketing buzzword “S Note,” basically letting you fold…
