We're about to deploy a loaded word. The word is "whimsical". That means Sir Benfro's Brilliant Balloon isn't your standard gaming fare. Rather, it's a delicate journey through an imaginary world, spotting fantastical creatures from afar. Delightful music and graphics, yes. Pumping adrenaline, no.

LG’s let out a video of its Galaxy Note rival, the Optimus Vu before its official showing off at MWC. In it you’ll get to see the wonders of its 5-inch IPS screen; some finger writing action, and a close up of its camera – how I managed to contain myself I just don’t know.

Are you a massive Beatles fan? Do you just have to have your phone spout out Hey Jude every time it rings? Well if you own an iPhone it’s your lucky day -- you can now waste all your money on every single track from 1, in ringtone form.

Nokia's released a teaser trailer which warns us to get ready for a "pure view" at next week's Mobile World Congress.

The Raspberry Pi is so close I can almost taste it. I’m not quite sure why I’m so excited about it; maybe it’s the low cost and pure hackability of it. At any rate, we now have a video walking you through its brand new Fedora Remix to ogle over.
