The problem with these super-skinny phones that we're all getting is that battery life, frankly, sucks. I still remember a time when battery life could be measured in days, not hours. If the latest Google X Phone rumour is to be believed, it'll come packing a big battery rivalling the Motorola MAXX line. But would you buy it if it wasn't the thinnest phone in the world?

BlackBerry's Super Bowl ad from last night was... uh... interesting as you can see above. The company claimed that in 30 seconds, it was easier to show us what BB10 couldn't do — which is perhaps some of the laziest marketing ever. Read More >>

After Sony basically stoked the rumour fire with a teaser and event on February 20th, the speculation of what, when, and how has been flowing faster than the river Nile. But one thing remains as clear as mud, what the controller will actually look like. Do any of these photoshops take your fancy? Read More >>

Twitter appears to be down, meaning that our 140-character micro-conversations have come to a sudden halt. Maybe HMV killed it? What to do! Where to turn! Read More >>

So, RIM is now just BlackBerry. BlackBerry 10 is finally here too, and we've been bestowed with not one, but two new BB10 handsets -- the BlackBerry Z10 and Q10. Even the PlayBook's getting in on the BB10 action. But what do you really think? Is this enough to save RIM BlackBerry? Or are we just staring down the barrel of another "Palm Pre moment"?

Visual voicemail -- allowing you to see, organise and listen to your voicemails without dialling up some bitchy voicemail woman -- is a common feature in North America. It's a nice feature, to be sure, and EE's introducing it to lucky 4G customers -- but does anyone still actually use voicemail? Read More >>

If you're applying to be a British citizen, you have to pass a cunning test filled with questions about 'Life in the UK', just to check you're down with the homies or something. After changes in 2011, it was filled with exciting questions about pregnancy rates and unemployment law. Now, it's been re-jigged to focus far more on history and culture. Question is: do you deserve to be British? Can you pass the test? Read More >>

Let's take a moment, and pretend that, for once, you're going to listen to the recommendation of a high street sales dweeb when you're out buying a shiny new phone. What do you reckon he's going to recommend for you? A svelte iPhone? That slightly-overpriced-but-still-bonkers-cheap Nexus 4? Nope, a new survey says you're wrong. Read More >>

Whenever something sketchy happens to your favorite social network's TOS, there are always folks who say they're packing up, taking their data and leaving. But backing up your social data doesn't have to be a last resort. After all, who knows what might happen to the cloud. Read More >>

The Economist has a chart from Kaspersky Lab, a security firm, that shows that spam mail is on a decline. Supposedly, it's a combination of spam filters actually working, the authentication of senders and more police crackdowns on Nigerian princes. In fact, in the past year, junk mail has declined from around 80 per cent to 67 per cent. Do you guys agree with this study? Are you noticing less spam in your inboxes? Read More >>

What country do you think has the best internet? Hint: not us. Read More >>

Yum, that food you ordered is so beautifully-presented that you're going to take a lovely photo of it, aren't you? I bet you're going to use the flash because it's dark in this fancy restaurant, too, huh? Read More >>

David Cameron, being the pandering politician that he is, has promised us a referendum on Britain being part of the European Union (as long as the Conservatives win the next election, that is). Although this isn't strictly a classic Gizmodo topic, it's sure as hell important. So before the whole country gets to have its say, what's your opinion? Read More >>

Microsoft's finally announced release dates and prices for the Surface Pro with full-blown Windows 8 for the US and Canada. Sadly, the UK's fat out of luck for the time being, and the prices? Well, let's just say it's not going to come cheap. But how much is too much, for an all-singing, all-dancing Microsoft-made tablet-come-laptop? Read More >>

Ok, so the last couple of days have seen some rumours flying round about an alleged 4.8" iPhone, the "iPhone Math". We didn't post it because the rumours are an absolute crock of bullshit, and we don't want to insult your intelligence. We're better than that, and so are you. But it's worth pointing out that if you're going to fabricate a rumour, for the love of all things holy come up with a better name than "iPhone Math". Read More >>
