iPhone 4S free in China, I told you so
This week its been announced by China Unicom that they’re offering up a deal in which if you sign up for a two year contract with them for mobile data, you get an iPhone 4S for free (connected to that contract) – this shouldn’t come as a surprise to you UK citizens, nor should it be unfathomable by those of you who read the opinion columns I write up here on SlashGear.

The heavy use of Siri has reportedly put a big strain on some mobile networks.

If Apple outs a $300 iPad, will you be able to resist?
There are rumors right now essentially across every single tech and gadget blog on the planet that Apple is preparing to release (maybe, possible, not likely,) a set of three iPad models for early in the year 2012. Let’s think for a minute about what would happen if this were true: three models, one for each segment: high-end, mid-range, and ultra-cheap – this last segment being for schools, businesses, and non-profit organizations. Apple could be set for a loss-leader power play inside the next 12 months: will they risk it?
Android Siri clone Iris teams with ChaCha for giant info database
Though we've seen our fair share of developers demanding that the world acknowledge the fact that Android has had voice-assistant capabilities for much longer than the iPhone 4S had Siri, apps like "Iris" have continued to pop up, and now show that they mean serious business by teaming up with competitors - ChaCha in this case. What ChaCha represents is a massive question and answer database that works with different ways for people to ask questions - this when tied with Iris' functionality, including using your microphone and Android to see what you're saying and type it out - makes for quite the combination.

iPad 2 : an Apple 2011 Retrospective
The past 365 days have been, without a doubt, the Year of the iPad 2, and as you’re about to see, this includes more than just great sales and undeniable attention from both consumers and developers the same. It all started in March as the Apple iPad 2 went on sale. Of course we pre-struck with an early What should I get guide and a few reviews of the device itself by our head writers. We had rather interesting (and telling) results in a poll from March asking if people would be buying an iPad 2, and an article also all the way back in March foretold much on how it’s so hard to compete with the iPad. Then the new year brought fourth an event of giant proportions. Behold the 2011 year in the most omnipotent tablet on the market.
