Monument Valley 2 Review

When the original Monument Valley was released back in 2014, it set a high watermark for mobile games. The gameplay, visual design and soundtrack were outstanding for the time and four years later they still hold up very well. While a sequel was inevitable, we were taken by surprise when Monument Valley 2 was suddenly revealed on stage during Apple's WWDC 2017 keynote. Fortunately, we will not have to wait for months to get the game (like everything else that was announced during that keynote) and the game was pretty much already on the store by the time it was shown on stage. Of course,...

Weekly poll: HTC U11, hot or not?

HTC likes to try new things - like a little thing called Android. And while it's no longer in the lead of that market, it still managed to put out one of the most interesting devices of 2017. Yes, we're talking about the HTC U11. The design is an HTC classic that harkens back to the original One. The unique "liquid glass" used for the back creates a constantly shifting spectrum of colors that changes as you move the phone. We also appreciate that the body is IP67 waterproof, it makes it an honorary Butterfly. Like the Butterfly, the HTC U11 offers a sharp screen (5.5" QHD) and a...

UIQ's story begins at Symbian Ltd. - a collaboration between Nokia, Sony, Ericsson, Motorola and Psion - in the distant 1998. In 2002, the newly formed Sony Ericsson started using UIQ for its touch-enabled phones. The company had some prior experience, courtesy of the...
