RUMOUR: Samsung cameraphone hits 12 megapixels
In a couple of weeks, Mobile World Congress will hit, and we’ll have more mobile phone news than you can shake a stick at.

The DeLorean could be making a comeback
For most men, boys, uncomfortable youths and girls who are into that sort of thing, the DeLorean car is the ultimate vehicle fantasy. Ferrari’s are for idiot footballers – real men want a dirty DeLorean.
Even before it was immortalised in Back to the Future, the flashy gull-wing motor just had a bit of magic about it, thanks to its space-age (for 1982) angular looks…
