Are you an Australian who was misled by Apple and duped into buying a WiFi + “4G” iPad that is anything but in your homeland? You’re entitled to a refund, this according to the Sunday Morning Herald. One solution that was reputedly given to Apple after the brouhaha that erupted earlier today was to have Apple apply warning/notice stickers to all Australian-bound 3rd-gen iPads, though Apple struck down such a plan as “too cumbersome”. Instead,…

We’re not going to sugar coat this. Motorola’s decision to spend a massive amount of marketing on the original Droid RAZR in hopes that millions of people would buy it and lock themselves into two-year contracts only to turn around and release the Droid RAZR MAXX (the phone they should have released the first time) a couple months later is a dick move. We weren’t that fond of Motorola before the drama, and we certainly aren’t fans now. Mini-rant…

Fans of Rovio’s continuing success, Angry Birds, is back with a vengeance in the latest Angry Birds Space saga. With over 10 million downloads in just 3 days, it’s easy to see the hype hasn’t yet died. But if you want even more Angry Birds Space action, Gear4 has some sweet new iPhone 4S and 3rd-gen iPad cases you might want to check out. The three iPhone 4S cases (King Pig, Red Bird and Bomb Bird) will retail for £16.95. Translated to USD it comes out…

Remember in October when Apple held an event to wow us once again? Well, remember after said event, most of the world was left wanting more? I was on the fence during and after the event, the design hadn’t changed, and there really wasn’t a ‘WOW’ factor to get me to upgrade. Don’t get me wrong, the phone is beautiful and I love the design. The speed bump was greatly received in my house and so was the camera upgrade. But that wasn’t…

We’re always on the lookout for cool/innovative iPhone accessories. One such device that crossed our path today is a spawn of mechanical engineer Hieu Ngyen’s creative mind — the Magnicase. Quite simply, the Magnicase uses a built in lens that increases the iPhone 4/4S’ display from 3.5″ to something closer to 5.3″. Ngyen claims the Retina display on an iPhone is dense enough that even after magnifying/stretching to ~5.3″, a new…

Remember when MMS was considered a fancy thing to have? It’s been many many years since those humble technological origins. And as nostalgic as you may be for those old methods of sending pictures to and from mobile/desktop, better things come along. Now we have smartphones and tablets with umpteen number of ways and services to share information. The lowly picture mail service just isn’t worth keeping around. Sprint agrees. The carrier is sending out emails…

The Australian gov’t has a bone to pick with Apple over their new iPad, specifically with how the LTE model is branded as “WiFi + 4G”. You see, while the 3rd-gen iPad does feature LTE radios inside, they are only for the U.S. and Canadian markets. Frequency differences abroad mean that “4G” model is much slower due to having to fall back to only HSPA+ networks. And therein lines the Australian government’s argument — that Apple is…

If you haven’t been crawling through the interwebs the last couple of days, you’re probably out of tune with the nano-SIM debate that is beginning to boil. Let us fill you in. In short: There are two sides — Apple vs. Everyone else (Nokia, Motorola, RIM and more) — fighting for the next sim card specification. If you’re like many of us here at GS, you’ll feel that such a fight is pretty stupid, and in fact quite over-hyped. We’re…

That crazy thin 55″ OLED TV LG showed off at CES broke a number of boundaries, though the two most important were that of size and (rumored) price. At 55″, the OLED TV was one of the largest the public had seen by CES 2012. (In the few years past, Sony had shown off a much smaller 11″ OLED TV.) Because the 11″ model Sony had already treated us to cost many, many thousands of dollars, analysts and the tech world as a whole worried that LG’s new…
