The LG Shine Wood will cause many pants-tents when it launches in Korea

LG-shine-wood.jpg
Got wood? Err, no, I’ve just got titanium black, actually. It’s the phone which will spark a thousand euphemisms, but unfortunately you’ll have to live in Korea in order to employ some clever double entendre, and obviously with the language difference, it wouldn’t work anyway.

The Wood (or LG-LB2500H for those with a memory unaffacted by constant model number remembering), isn’t actually made…

Guitar Hero Mobile shown off at CTIA Wireless expo, critics love the three-button controls

guitar-hero-axel.jpgOver in the US, the CTIA Wireless expo is a-happening, and the lucky folk at CNet have made us green with envy, as they got to fool around on the new Guitar Hero Mobile game.

The mobile version of the game first created for the PS2 is loosely based on Guitar Hero 3, but much more simplified for easy mobile handset usage. There are two characters – Alex Steel and Judy Nails, four guitars, and just 15 songs, however users subscribed to the service can buy three extra songs each month. If you’re…

Battle of the purple mobiles: Girls Aloud with the Samsung F210 and Sugababes with the Sony Ericsson K770i

purple-mobiles-battle-2.jpg
You may’ve heard there’s a battle going on over here in the UK. Forget the rugby, the format wars, and the oft-rumoured general election, it’s something far more important. Purple mobile phones. Girl bands. Oh yes, our country has a civil war going on, and it sure is…pretty?

Last Wednesday one of the country’s largest girl bands, Girls Aloud, launched the Samsung F210 Purple, a model exclusive to Phones 4 U. Now this Wednesday, just seven days later, will see their biggest rival girl-band, Sugababes, launch the K770i Purple with Sony Ericsson. Has London been gripped with Purple Power, now that Prince has packed his bags and left the country after 21 sell-out shows?

It sure will be interesting to see which purple phone will conquer the market here in Britain, especially with the constant rumours about rivalry between the two bands. Take a look under the jump, where I pit the K770i against the F210. Who will win this diva-studded war? Only the specs will say…

Alcatel partner with Mandarina Duck to bring you 2007's 23,671st fashion mobile

mandarina-duck_alcatel_phone.jpgThese mobile phones look good enough to eat, but trust me, I wouldn’t suggest that. Have a Krispy Kreme instead, it’s Friday, after all. I know the whole of Shiny Towers are using that excuse currently!

Alcatel has partnered up with the handbags and accessories label, Mandarina Duck, and have a gorgeous new phone, available in three colours as you can see – Cherry Red, Lilac and Green. Delicious.

OJ Simpson is Steve Jobs's hired hitman, says reputable source (from his prison cell)

oj-simpson-court-2.jpgOur second OJ Simpson story in two days? Don’t worry, this is still a technology blog…I think. But hey! This story involves Steve Jobs too! That got your interest back, eh?

According to the lads at Apple Insider, a prisoner in a South Carolina jail has accused Steve Jobs of employing O.J. Simpson as a ‘hitman’ over the past two decades. Yes, really. I’d be looking into hallucinogen-smugglings at that prison, if I worked there.

According to prisoner Jonathan Lee Riches, Simpson has been Jobs’s hitman since the “1985 MOVE house bombing in Philadelphia, which Jobs started with borrowed pyrotechnics from Great White,” as well as “providing Jobs with food blenders since the midwest flood of 1993” and that Simpson also “paid Jobs to clone Dolly the sheep on April 20, 1998.”….

Samsung Armani mobile confirmed as the SGH-P520 touch-screen

samsung-armani.jpg
Boo hiss. So much for our wild speculation months ago that the rumoured Samsung Armani mobile would be the F700, or ‘Croix’, as it’s recently been branded. Concrete information, such as photos and a long string of model numbers no-one could every possibly remember have been leaked online, and we can reveal it’s simply a disappointing high-end version of their SGH-P520, a touch-screen mobile that hit tech blog headlines earlier this year…
