I'm not sure if it's actually better looking in white or not, but apparently Android and Me has one physically in hand. The white Nexus 4 is supposedly a carbon-copy of the black version we know and love, just with a white body and Android 4.3 (no LTE mentioned). Take with a pinch of sodium chloride for now, but surely everyone who's likely to want a Nexus 4 has already bought one? [Android and Me] Read More >>
Nokia's just unveiled the Lumia 925, and while you might have thought it's just a UK version of the Lumia 928 that our US cousins are getting, it's so much more. Gone is the all-plastic traditional Lumia, subsumed by a much more refined feeling metal-polycarbonate mix. This thing looks and feels great. Read More >>

Just like it's a really terrible time to buy a new laptop, it's also a really crappy time to sink hundreds of pounds and possibly years of your life into a new phone. So wait, trust me, it'll be better all round. Read More >>

Oh Japan, how we love thee. Although I have no idea why your stereotypical fascination with women's pants extends to gadgets, it's nice to see you catering for everyone's tastes regardless of how weird they are. Available in briefs, thongs, boxers and classic budgie-smugglers, there's something for everyone. Read More >>

Google Glass is weird. It's not quite like anything we've seen before. It's the best. It's the worst. It's polarising. This picture of a Google Glass-wearing tube-rider showed up on Twitter yesterday, and sparked a Buzzfeed article that posits Glass will just bring on more of the distraction it claims to alleviate.
