Apparently, AMD has been given the nod for Microsoft's next gen Xbox, but it's having difficulty spitting out the Durango's chips. According to "sources," AMD's spitting out the "Oban" chip like nobody's business, but most of the chips coming off the production line are duff. Not good for Microsoft, and serious egg-on-face for AMD if true. Read More >>

A bit of bad news I'm afraid. Our hopes and dreams of a roll out of the sweet waves of 4G isn't likely to happen for at least a year, and it's basically Ofcom's fault, according to O2. Read More >>

Bad news streaming fans -- those looking forward to a May launch for the "revolutionary" YouView streaming TV service will be sorely disappointed. According to Lord Sugar, it’s not in any shape to launch before the end of 2012, let alone before the Olympics. Read More >>
More delays face Samsung’s new Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, but this time Android’s not to blame – Samsung’s decided that it’s just not good enough in its planned incarnation, and we’re inclined to agree. Everyone’s shoving quad-core chips in their Android tablets, so Samsung launching one with basically the same dual-core processor as its predecessor seemed a bit daft to me; thankfully Samsung now agrees.

"Pretty much. But then it has to have some more involved screen sensing tech in it, so it's not quite as simple as slapping a stylus on a Tab." More »
The Samsung Galaxy S II Ice Cream Sandwich update saga rages on. This time Vodafone’s had to postpone its update by a day because Samsung took its sweet time checking it over. The good news is you should be able to grab it through Samsung Kies tomorrow, but those looking for an over-the-air update will have to wait till Tuesday next week. Read More >>
Apparently the reason you SIM-free Samsung Galaxy S II-wielders haven’t got your tasty Ice Cream Sandwich update yet is because Samsung’s waiting to see what happens with the network operators. If they screw up first it’ll know it has a problem before it releases its own Android 4.0 update. Read More >>

Having been announced in February and set for release before the end of March in the UK, we still haven’t seen any sign of Samsung’s new Galaxy Tab 2 tablets. Apparently that’s because Ice Cream Sandwich is a bit of a hog to wrestle onto new hardware, or at least that’s what Samsung says. Read More >>

Bad news for those champing at the bit to get their mitts on the Raspberry Pi – both Element 14 and RS are waiting on CE mark certification before they ship their inventory of Pis to customers causing a further delay on orders. Read More >>
Looks like Everything Everywhere’s cracking plan to rollout 4G in the UK before the end of 2012 has hit a small set back. Ofcom’s extended the response period to the proposal, meaning we’ll have to wait till after May 8th to find out whether it’ll actually be green lit and we’ll get glorious LTE this year. Read More >>

Despite lucky Three users being able to update their Galaxy S IIs already, Samsung UK’s apparently still testing its Ice Cream Sandwich update. Apparently it’s “working hard” but can’t confirm exact dates for a rollout yet – you can stop hitting that “check for updates” button for a bit. Read More >>

Apparently Apple’s truly struggling to get its new iPad here on time; we saw pre-order delivery dates slip within days of the unveiling. Now it seems some unlucky people, who plunked down their cash before Apple started pushing things back, will be disappointed on launch day too. Read More >>

The Raspberry Pi Foundation has come out and said that the reason for the delay in getting the mini-marvels into your hands is because the factory manufacturing them screwed up. It bunged a dud network port onto the first batch of boards. Read More >>

There have been suggestions floating around that Intel's new Ivy Bridge processors would arrive later than anticipated on the market. Now, those rumours have been confirmed as true by a senior Intel employee, so we won't see the processors in April as previously expected. Read More >>
