If five minute time waster games are your thing then there are none better right now than Splashy Slime Impossible Game. Busting from the Play Store like the bastard child of indie game classic Super Meat Boy and annoying mobiler Flappy Bird the game takes the control system of the later, with the compulsive, […]
It’s 2014 and we decided that we needed to make some space for some new review kit so in that breath we decided that now would be a good time to clear out of the review cupboard (yeah we really have one of those). The cupboard has a lot of weird and wonderful gadgets as […]
Last year I reviewed a great little security app for Android devices called NFCSecure. The app has seen many updates since my early review and has become even more useful. I won’t bore you all with another full review but will just give a little overview instead. NFCSecure uses the NFC capabilities on your device […]
If, like me, you have a multitude of devices that you use on a daily basis then charging them whilst maintaining a certain level of tidiness will likely be a problem. Over the past year I have tried numerous solutions from large power stations to individual docks per device (which costs a small fortune) […]
When it comes to third party Facebook apps there are no shortage of them on Google Play with the most popular one being Friendcaster however even Friendcaster, with its subtle appearance changes, still oozes Facebook from top to bottom, which for some people is enough to stop them using the social network. “Everyone gets […]
For those that haven’t come across the iMpulse Controller before, it is a Bluetooth remote for Android, and iOS, that can be used for multiple things including gaming. It offers portability as it can fit onto your keyring, and also compatibility with many games provided they support HID controllers. I first came across the iMpulse […]
We have recently been given the chance to review the iDeaPlay 7″ kids’ tablet. By “we”, I mean my daughter and I. I let her handle the kids’ part and I took it into the hands of the adult. At it’s price point, there are few options which will deliver an experience like […]
If you’ve had Android for any length of time, chances are you have run into some Kairosoft games in the Play Store at some point. There games seem to pop up all over the place with a different spin on a well made system. If you haven’t, you really should - They create some of […]
Back in August of this year we took a look at the LG Wireless Charging Orb and scored it a pretty impressive 9.3 out of 10 based on value for money, build quality and aesthetics and way back in April we looked at the Zens QI Wireless Charging Pad which we scored 4 out of […]
With today’s smartphone and tablet market allowing for only the flagship and higher end devices to have an screen it’s hardly surprising that the accessories market is covered in screen protectors and cleaning solutions. With so many on the market you have to ask the question, “which is best?” and in this review we can hopefully […]
There really is no end to the happiness that Three are sending me these days.

Over the years there have been a number of rugged phones released. Most of them fairly ugly and simplistic, often lacking decent specifications or the latest versions of Android. Sure, there have been a few water resistant phones released such as the Xperia Z and the Motorola Defy range, but none of these are […]
So the Ubuntu Edge campaign is mere hours from closure and baring an Arab sheik or Russian billionaire going keyboard crazy it looks like this ambitious funding project is doomed not to meet its mark. From the outset there were many doomsayers on all social media platforms stating how Canonical would fall far short of […]
Earlier today I posted my thoughts on what’s going on over at CyanogenMod or Cyanogen Inc and now I’d like to follow up on that post with some more evidence supporting the rumoured move to making Cyanogen a commercial company. This time we will start by looking at some of the CyanogenMod team’s LinkedIn profiles […]
If, like me, you’ve been paying close attention to CyanogenMod over the past few months then you will be under no illusion that something untoward may well be going on. I’ve pulled together some links and some of my own personal thoughts to write this post backed up with hard evidence and certain things the CyanogenMod […]
The Flagship device that will never be a Flagship. While almost the entire world is enjoying their HTC One and One mini devices, HTC have released this little gem in the Asian markets of Hong Kong and Taiwan. The HTC Butterfly S. This device is clearly the HTC One’s bigger and better brother in the […]
Budget handsets can be hard to review, you want to make sure they can perform the tasks that matter but also need to realise that there is a price to pay in saving money. I have had a look at the Vodafone Smart III and this is how I found it. [toggle title=”Price & […]
There’s no denying that mobile gaming is here to stay. What with the devices we all know and love getting more and more powerful with every generation - making something that fits in our pocket more capable, and more awesome, as time goes by. But there is one thing that hasn’t updated in a […]
The Android-X86 project has been walking in the shadow of Googles mobile operating system for some time now and whenever a new version drops it generally takes a couple of months for X86 to catch up. This time the team were on the ball and have released their first 4.3 test build before many with […]
So we have known for some time now that Facebook is a huge lover of people’s data, they have often been slated in the past for taking data belonging to people and sharing it with people who shouldn’t have access to it however today on a Google Hangout with Geek.com’s very own Russell Holly, CyanogenMod legend’s […]
Lots of people have stated that they believe smart watches to be the key technology of 2013. We are now half way through the year and there has not really been any new technological breakthroughs. But we do have some smart watches, each offering a different take on the idea of a ‘smart watch’. I […]
Recently I have started to think today about Battery Life v Functionality. I have seen numerous cases of people who seem to be willing to completely cripple their smartphones (at least what I deem as crippled) in order to get what is likely to be just an extra few minutes life out of their phones. […]
Now the, make of this what you wish but I for one find it very interesting and question how many of the other HTC former staff members will be heading to a new company founded by former HTC Executives Michael Coombes and James Atkins (Atkins was formerly UK head of marketing and Coombes UK head of […]
Hey there! You may have remembered last month I reviewed the Samsung Multimedia Dock for the Galaxy Note 2. It’s back! And this time we’re going nuts for games. In the review, I mentioned you could plug-in a USB game controller such as a PS3 sixaxis controller, and use it to play various games. Here, […]
Young or old, it seems like the whole world is on social media now telling anyone who want’s to listen all about what they had for lunch or any other earth shattering molecule of news they have. Every social media network has it’s own official app but there is also a myriad of third party apps […]
In all the hype and site chatter about the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4 it’s easy to forget there is another flagship Android handset doing the rounds right now, the Sony Xperia Z was released prior to the two current media favourites and thanks to Vodaphone UK we have put one through it”s […]
