Had she access to this useful online calculator, the wicked witch in that Hansel and Gretel fairytale wouldn't have had to settle for just a tiny cottage in the woods. She could have built herself a sprawling McMansion with proper planning, complete with a dedicated bakery just for kids. Read More >>

The Raspberry Pi might have captured the hearts and minds of geeks across the world, but it's not the only barebones board out now. Via's less programming-focused Android-packing APC went up for pre-order and sold out within a day; sounds familiar doesn't it? Read More >>

At under £30 all in, including delivery, you'd be hard pressed to find anything that competes on price and sheer awesomeness with the Raspberry Pi, but that hasn't stopped Via trying. Meet the Via APC, an ARM-based board that runs Android for just £32. Read More >>

Android is awesome and powerful, but it has, shall we say, a learning curve. That scares some people away. After all, iOS is so intuitive that babies can use it. Literally. But you're not a baby. Read More >>

Are you sick of waiting for your phone network to serve up Ice Cream Sandwich for your Galaxy S II? Is your old Android stuck on Gingerbread without any hope of an upgrade? Never fear, as Giz is here.. Read More >>
Here's something depressing and slightly horrifying: roughly 1.2 million people are using Android 1.5—a three year old operating system that looks like a Chinese bootleg of itself. How? Why? It gets worse. Read More >>

You might not have been all that psyched by Panasonic’s first out-of-Asia phone offering, the Eluga, but it’s coming to the UK in April. It might be running Gingerbread on release, but it is slim and waterproof, which should give you one less thing to worry about when out and about. Read More >>

Sony’s new phone line has been making waves – we quite liked the Xperia S, giving it four out of five stars in our review. Now we’ve got another entry, the Xperia Sola aka the Pepper, touting something called “floating touch” for “magic web browsing without touching the screen", because dragging your finger on glass is just so last year.

Seems LG wants a piece of the stylus-packing too-big-to-be-a-phone, but too-small-to-be-a-tablet market. It launched the teased Optimus Vu over the weekend and it’s nothing like the Galaxy Note, honest. Read More >>

ZTE’s been on a budget smartphone mission as of late in the UK. Now it’s pushing a cheapish 7-inch Android tablet, but the problem is that it’s not running Ice Cream Sandwich. In fact it’s not even running Honeycomb; it’s still running Gingerbread. What are they thinking? Read More >>

Motorola's second attempt at a decent Android tablet certainly reeks of the original Xoom -- even the box states "this time around we've even beefed-up the battery life". But is the sequel a real winner or is it just another also-ran? Read More >>
Unlocked Motorola Atrix phones have started receiving the Android 2.3 update over-the-air, with Atrix owners still clamped to the teet of Orange or T-Mobile forced to wait a further week. No word on when that milk when turn Ice Cream Sandwich-flavoured, I'm afraid. [Softpedia via TechRadar] Read More >>

This is why people love Android. You can spend £500 on a Galaxy Nexus, or £99 on a T-Mobile Vivacity. Obviously the Viv isn't as powerful, but Android 2.3 on a 3.5" screen for £100 is "Black Friday" levels of cheapness. Read More >>
