Tiny Android PC sells for US$74

android-mini-PC First we had the Rasberry PI, now there's the Smurf-sized, ultra-teeny Android PC and by our reckoning, it's no bigger than a USB drive. We're fairly chuffed at the specs of this 3.5-inch PC. It has an AllWinner A10 single-core 1.5GHz ARM CPU, half a gig of RAM, a (pretty weak) Mali 400 GPU and an HDMI port for sound and picture. There's also a USB 2.0 and a micro-USB port, as well as Wi-Fi. It seems pretty simple to run an OS ...

Brand-spanking new Crysis 3 screens massage hungry gamers’ eyes

The gods of gaming have delivered unto us these mouth-watering images of Crysis 3, scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2013. The concept sounds pretty awesome and be warned, for here are *spoiler alerts*. Crysis 2 ended with Prophet taking control on the nanosuit once more, climbing out of the alien motherbase and proclaiming that he is a bad-ass. Crysis 3 looks to be more of the same, but with a sneaky-sneaky addition to the series in the form of ...

Targus Truss case for BlackBerry PlayBook [Review]

GEARED Playbook-case- This review can go one of two ways. Super short, punchy and insightful or long and rambling. I'm going for the former. Targus' Truss case is a beautifully realised accessory. It's jam-packed with oodles of luxury, stinks of class and turns the already gorgeous PlayBook into a tome of mighty power. Let me explain. The case is roughly US$40 depending on where you find it. If you find it laying in the road, it's free. If it's hanging in a fancy tech ...

Mutewatch is silent, expensive and lovely

US$258 for the Mutewatch seems like a kick in the money-crotch, but it's a gorgeous time-telling whisper on the wrist. Look at the pictures of this hipster delight. Just look at it. This poppy red/charcoal grey/pure white watch is as basic as time-pieces come. It's simply designed as well, with cool sounding features such as an "automatic adaptation to the surrounding light intensity for optimal glow", which means that it gets brighter as it gets darker. Whatever. Tap the surface ...

All but confirmed: iPhone 5 to get 4-inch screen

Reuters is a coy devil, and has proudly proclaimed that the next iPhone will most likely roll out with a 4-inch display. That is, if the "people familiar with the situation" have anything to say about it. These sources have reportedly said that Apple has placed orders with display companies in Japan and South Korea. Let's run with the rumour for a while and see what pans out. If sources are true, this represents a 30% screen size increase in comparison ...

App of the week: Pocket

Photo-2012_05_15-8.42.30-4 This week I take a look at Pocket, a beautifully designed and unashamedly simple app that allows you to quickly and easily save items on the web for later viewing on an iDevice. A couple of weeks ago, I was at a large exhibition centre picking up my race number for my first ever half marathon. As I waited with my friends in the queue, I realised that the last time I was at this venue was in 1997, when my ...

Vice Chairman of Samsung Electronics, Kwon Oh-hyun had a few choice words surrounding this life-saving tech: We will be mass producing flexible OLED displays from the latter half of this year as the demand from our clients is significant.

Windows 8 to have best multiple monitor support, ever

With Windows, it's pretty much a breeze to enable decent multi-monitor support, with third-party apps at least. Windows 8 plans to break this trend by including a rich suite of multi-monitor options for users with more than on display. First up, no more "broken corners". What this means is that each monitor becomes an independent display. In the accompanying video, Mark Yalovsky, senior program manager of Windows User experience demonstrates the overwhelming ease of accessing each monitor. Charms can be ...
