As neat as they are, the Lytro camera's re-focusing tricks aren't going to convince most of us to replace our highly pocketable cameraphones. So a California company called DigitalOptics has found a way to give us the best of both worlds with a new ultra-thin sensor that promises Lytro-like tricks. Read More >>

Relying on your tablet's on-screen keyboard saves you from having to carry clunky accessories, but it also gobbles up a good chunk of usable screen real estate. So Fujitsu researchers are working on a happy medium that uses the tablet's camera to track your finger movements on a desk, as if you were typing away on an invisible keyboard. Read More >>

Huawei could add a waffle-maker to its Ascend P2, and I doubt even that would be enough to pull people over to its side of the phone stores. Unlike the Ascend D2 unveiled at CES, there's no 3,000mAh battery lurking here (you'll have to "make do" with a 2420 one), but there's a CAT 4LTE chipset, meaning 4G speeds can reach 150Mbps (the iPhone 5 and S3 LTE only have CAT 3, FYI).

A serious bit of smartphone leakage flooded parts of the internet last night, with new, high-res images emerging of the black HTC One joining the white one we've seen before. It's kind of nice, featuring a bit of old school HTC grille action, but you can never really tell until you've had a proper go on a phone, can you? Read More >>

After the supposed specs leaked last week, Samsung's mobile head JK Shin has apparently confirmed that there's an 8-inch Galaxy Note coming next month at Mobile World Congress, the annual trade show in Barcelona. That means you're going to need to buy a pair of Jncos if you want to carry this rumoured monstrous phablet in your pocket. Read More >>

According to Evleaks, on UnwiredView, this is a render from a start-up video for the much-rumoured HTC M7. The new flagship will apparently pack a 4.7-inch 1080p screen, along with a 1.7GHz quad-core chip backed by 2GB of RAM and LTE. If it ends up looking anything like the render with those specs, HTC might have a winner on its hands here. Read More >>

Here's a curious one. Ifrumours are to be believed, LG's actually stopped producing Nexus 4s, and has turned manufacturing efforts to its incoming next-generation phones instead. Does Google have another Nexus right around the corner? Or has LG simply had enough of flogging hardware for next to nothing? Read More >>

Want to try out a taste of Windows 8? Now you can, and it’s feature complete too. As promised, Microsoft’s unveiled the consumer preview of its latest and greatest operating system at MWC. It's made some 100,000 changes to the previously released pre-beta developer preview and has bundles in everything you’re likely to see in the final product. Read More >>
There are many great stunts being pulled out of the bag by companies at MWC this year, from jugglers to free icecream, to the usual scantily-clad booth babes. But Google's nailed it yet again, with its giant Android slide; bedazzling Android robots, and tasty smoothies. I ran around the stand like a crazed fangirl, shooting everything in sight just for you guys. Read More >>
