Tablets in 2012: what to expect
In Depth: iPad 3, Ice Cream Sandwich and dead tablets walking 2011 was an amazing year for tablets. Apple’s purple patch continued, bookshops such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble demanded a piece of the action and big-name manufacturers ended up in big, big trouble. HP’s TouchPad and RIM’s BlackBerry PlayBook were flops, forcing their manufacturers to embark on massive price cuts – RIM will currently swap a PlayBook for a Mars bar and a few shiny beads – while other firms, such as Dell, exited the Android market altogether. If you thought that little lot was interesting, you ain’t [...]
Toshiba Satellite L755D-12L review
Best point: Very nicely priced; capable all-rounder. Worst point: Hard disk is a bit on the small side. Price: £449 inc. VAT The Satellite L755D-12L makes a good initial impression, looking more expensive than it actually is. Not to mention feeling more expensive. While this is a budget laptop, you wouldn’t guess that from the build quality or finish. It’s a very well put together piece of hardware with no corners cut in terms of construction.

Windows Phone 7 Spotify app review
Before we look at Spotify, it is worth pointing out that it is up against Microsoft’s own Zune with its monthly unlimited pass, and Nokia’s Nokia Music which takes a very different approach of giving you selection of music to listen to each week. The Spotify app, which is free but will require you to have a £9.99 a month subscription, takes a different tack to both Microsoft and Nokia’s offerings and will be the most appealing to those already taking advantage of Spotify on their Sonos system or desktop without ads. Load the app, sign in and you are [...]
