Sure enough, iPad-compatible docks are swiftly becoming a thing now, and Philips is jumping head-first into the market with its Fidelio DS8550. Oh, but there’s more than meets the eye here — it’s not just a speaker with a giant slot in front for a 30-pin... [Read the full story]

A glance at the T-Mobile Vairy Touch and you’ll be forgiven for thinking that it’s a HTC Touch. The good news is that this phone will only set you back about $75.
