Proving that Apple is the exception at the moment, Nintendo has published its financial results for the final quarter of 2011, which unfortunately saw a 61% drop in profits and a 40% fall in sales revenue too. The company also re-evaluated its projected sales for the Wii and 3DS, cutting them from 12 million to 10 million, and 16 million to 14 million respectively.

Following their recent attempts to terrify us into buying a gaming PC with the Aurora R4, Alienware has now come over all friendly and announced the X51, a gaming PC that's hidden in a console-style box. With the ability to stand vertically or lay horizontally, the new X51 could happily sit alongside other gaming machines under your TV too.

You could be forgiven for thinking that a Skype app was already be available for Windows Phone 7 devices, given that not only is it very popular, but also as the company is now owned by Microsoft. However, you'd be wrong, and a search of the Windows Marketplace still reveals nothing officially related to the VoIP service at all. Any misunderstanding could also be connected to the talk of such an app arriving late last year too, however… Read More

For such a hugely popular franchise, James Bond has never been very well treated on Blu-ray. While Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace received timely releases, the back catalog has never been issued in its entirety. Except, that is, until now, as MGM and 20th Century Fox has announced Bond 50, a box set containing all 22 films, that's ready for pre-order today. Unveiled during a Director's Panel discussion held at Panasonic's… Read More

Not content with enraging Apple with their alleged iPhone 4-alike designs, Samsung has now taken a shine to the previous model. We can see it, you can see it and it's fairly likely the lawyers can see it too. We're talking about the distinct design similarity between Samsung's new Galaxy Ace Plus and the Apple iPhone 3G/3GS. Yes, the camera lens may be in a different spot, but the front and side views along with that grey… Read More

Rumors that Apple will launch a 7-inch version of their iPad tablet have been circulating ever since the very first model came out a couple of years ago. They've recently resurfaced too, suggesting that a 7-inch version could be unveiled alongside the iPad 3 in 2012.
