HTC One Series April 5 release: Best Deal Roundup
Carrier slashes new iPad price for data addicts
UK carrier Three is offering a new iPad for as little as £99 ($155), with new subsidies on the third-generation Apple tablet for those willing to eschew month-to-month data plans.

Three rolling out DC-HSPA ahead of 4G LTE trials
Carrier Three has jumped on the 4G bandwagon, but unlike rival Everything Everywhere, it's using next-gen DC-HSPA rather than LTE. Borrowing the (confusing) nomenclature used by T-Mobile USA and AT&T in the US - calling HSPA+ "4G" despite it being a version of 3G standards - Three's new service will offer up to 42Mbps connections, in theory at least.

Three Web Cube Review
Take the portability out of mobile broadband, and you’re left with a plain old broadband connection, but what if your home or office doesn’t get a high-speed hookup or you’re only going to be around for a short chunk of the typical 12-24 month agreement? Carrier Three believes it has the answer with the Web Cube, in effect a mobile broadband router that can’t go any further than an AC socket. In return, you get convenience, some degree of mobility and – every geek’s favorite – blue LED lighting. But is a non-mobile mobile modem niche or nonsense? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
Three Web Cube promises broadband for digital nomads
UK carrier Three has answered the (perhaps unasked) question of what you call a mobile hotspot when it's not actually mobile: the Three Web Cube, packing a 3G HSPA+ connection into a fixed WiFi router. Promising plug-and-play simplicity, the box comes with a SIM pre-installed and a choice of tariffs with up to 15GB of data per month.

Three WiFi Hub ZTE MF10 Review
With mobile data speeds matching – and in some case exceeding – traditional wired broadband connections, it’s no surprise that data sticks have taken off in the past few years. Until now, the two most common options are a USB dongle, for getting a single device online, or a mobile hotspot, sharing a 3G/4G connection with a number of WiFi-tethered clients. Now UK carrier Three has launched the Three WiFi Hub (aka ZTE MF10), a compact, semi-portable way to share a USB modem’s connection with multiple wireless and wired devices. Must-have addition to your gear bag or just a glossy paperweight; the full SlashGear review waits beyond the cut.
Nokia Lumia 800 Giveaway!
The holidays are coming, and what better way to feel festive than winning a Nokia Lumia 800 courtesy of Three UK. The carrier has given us one of Nokia’s flagship Windows Phones, running Mango on a 3.7-inch ClearBlack AMOLED display and clad in a seamless polymer chassis, to hand over to one lucky SlashGear winner in the UK.
Three UK takes a hands-on look at the Galaxy Nexus [Video]
It's time for the carrier videos showing off the next hero device for Google to be shown off, this simple set of explorations starting as a hands-on with Three UK and Brendan Arndt. What you'll get to see here is no less than the Samsung Galaxy Nexus as it'll be showing up in the UK. This is a slightly different configuration than the USA is going to see as the carrier here in the USA will be on Verizon Wireless and running with a 4G LTE connection. What this video will afford you is a another close-up look at the first device, or perhaps the second, running Ice Cream Sandwich out in the wild, starting before the end of the year.

In the UK, carriers Vodafone and Three have both confirmed that they'll be offering the HSPA+ version of the Galaxy Nexus when it begins to go on sale from next month.

iPhone 4S hits UK
Apple's iPhone 4S has gone on sale in the UK, with Apple Stores and key carrier stores opening at 8am local time to offer the coveted fifth-gen smartphone.

Samsung Series 5 Chromebook Review
You run your social life in the cloud. You handle your email in the cloud. You might even write your documents, store your music and keep your backups in the cloud. Why not do away with local computing altogether? That’s the premise of Google’s Chrome OS, relying on just a browser to be your window to the all-purpose web. The Samsung Chromebook Series 5 is one of the first notebooks to give Chrome OS a go, in the case of our Three powered machines offering 3G to release you from the WiFi teat, too. Can we really live in the cloud, or are we destined to tumble back to earth with a bump? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
Three promises Huawei E586 HSPA+ MiFi with 21.1Mbps downloads
Three UK has announced a new MiFi, and it's apparently going to be the fastest mobile hotspot in the country. Offering support for HSPA+ 21.1Mbps downloads and 5.76Mbps uploads - network support for which is rolling out currently - the Huawei-made E586 has a monochrome OLED display for showing battery and signal status along with a counter of how much data you've used.
