Review: HandyPaint
We've all seen the semi-viral videos, where someone (apparently) knocks up a faux-impressionist masterpiece using nothing more than a smartphone touchscreen. It may be that I simply don't have the talent, but I'm a little sceptical, given the sizes of phone screens. Mind you, with software like HandyPaint, reviewed here for S60 5th Edition and UIQ 3, at least the tools are there to get close to the picture in your imagination. HandyPaint is something of a labour of love and it shows - it's not perfect, but is powerful and still improving.

Review: Motorola Z10 - Part 4 - Listening to the Music
Presented as a multimedia phone, the Motorola Z10 has a lot to live up to, as music on mobiles has changed rapidly over the last year or so. Simply having a player is now no longer enough, as my time with the Z10 music suite shows.
Review: Motorola Z10 - Part 3 - Going Online
Taking a smartphone online separates the men from the boys - so does the Z10 get to leave nursery and head to the internet school? Ewan finds out in part three of his Z10 review.

Review: Big Box of Blox
...here comes the Big Box of Blox - a Columns style game for Symbian OS from Digital Eel and Astraware. Ewan takes it out, drops it on the floor and sees if it vanishes or stays on his phone....
