The Meta Watch was designed with hopes of breaking the curse of consumer apathy when it comes to smart watches. An Android-friendly version has actually been available to developers since the middle of last year, but thanks to a Bluetooth update, it's finally now compatible with iOS too. But is that enough to make you care? Read More >

Google's finally been given the go-ahead from the Chinese authorities for its £8 billion absorption of Motorola, marking the last hurdle to Googlerola crossed. Speculation is rife over what Google will actually do with Motorola -- perhaps yet more nuclear patent war, or even its own expanded phone line. Whatever happens, rest assured Android will remain free and open for all for at least five years, so your no-name, cheap and crappy Android tablets will still be there for you. Read More >

You've probably read about Android market fragmentation and wondered just how big a deal it is. This visualisation spells out the problem quite clearly: there are almost 4,000 unique Android devices out there running a single app available on Play. That, right there, is fragmentation. Read More >

Over in China, a very strange knock-off Apple store has emblazoned our esteemed logos doing the, um, nasty as the logo for the shop. Not the most conventional way to brand your shop, but each to their own. Either way, I throw this over to you, our esteemed readers, to give us a caption. We might throw you a brownie or an e-hug for the best one. [MicGadget, Thanks, Darrell!] Read More >
Poor old LG. It was first to announce its quad-core superphone back in February, but since then we've seen HTC get the One X out and Samsung announce its Galaxy S III for launch at the end of May. So a big slow clap for LG, then, which has said its Optimus 4X HD will hit Europe in June. Read More >

Blue Jeans. White One X. Put you in my jeans, you know you made my phone stained. It was like, Papa Smurf, for sure. You're so blue to death and sick as ca-cancer. Ahem. Or something like that. A user found out that when he put his white HTC One X in his jean pocket, the indigo dye stained his phone. Gross. Read More >
