Tech Buzz: The smartphone edition

by |

We managed to get our hands on a pre-production unit of the Sony Xperia S. Recently announced at CES, the handset can be upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0 OS) by the second quarter. Unfortunately, our working prototype is actually running on Gingerbread (Android 2.3 OS). Regardless, there are quite a few impressive features on the Xperia S and you'll get a glimpse of them in the video.

If the Android OS is not your cup of tea, perhaps you would like some Mango--also known as Windows Phone 7.5. Our resident mobile phone reviewer gives us the lowdown on the Samsung Omnia W.

Much has been said about the iOS 5 jailbreak for both the iPhone 4S and iPad 2--we've even recommended what to download for free and what to pay for on the Cydia app store. Now we have five good reasons why you shouldn't go ahead with it.
