They should just rename it "The iGadget Show", constantly bumming iDevices...what about non native flash? No mass storage? limited BT? shoudlnt that be 3 points down? disappointed by the lack of actual geekyness and the obvious mainstream appeal theyve given over to...

This show is so Apple biased it's actually embarrassing. iPhone 4S winning the battery test when Apple openly admit it suffers from a battery usage fault? Not using the keypad on the BlackBerry for testing the texting test? The only blind tests they did, the iPhone lost. And in the iPhone vs Android test there were three people so there were 3 iPhones and for some reason only 1 Android? Suzi's entire feature was just a joke and totally pointless.

Mr Tech
I agree with alot of the previous comments as it would appear that the GS is rather biased when testing the iphone 4S. There are better phones than the Iphone 4S such as the Samsung Galaxy S2. I have the new Samsung Galaxy Note...and its brilliant...more than brilliant...! I had an iphone 3GS and was certainly not going to be running to the shops for the latest version. The battery is horrendous and there are still antenna issues. This test should have been conducted with a range of the latest phones such as the Samsung Note, Nexus and S2, Blackberry Torch and the new curve (9900) and Nokia's new windows phone. What a let down GS...really poor performance. Stop being on the fence or being one sided and actually do a thorough test.

Good show. Kind of biased towards apple though. They should've included the samsung galaxy s2. They missed out a lot features an android phone can do differently when compared to iPhone. Such is being able to watch show via the web browser using flash ;)

I have always had nexus phone's n1,nexs & now gnex, personally I prefer the "pure google" experience. I bought the gnex on day 1 and despite the initial bugs i'm super happy, i use apple products everyday and love them im just not a fan of ios only really because of its lack of google integration, i use alot of google services so it's essential and ics does it even better now. btw the quality of apps on android argument is rubbish, there are plenty of very decent polished apps for android now. people dont realise apple have a moderation process to clean out the less polished apps.

That was a very poor judgement excluding the Samsung Galaxy S2 from the end test....apart from the screen (which is debatable) and icecream sandwich OS, we all know the S2 is a much better phone then the Nexus, and the S2 will be getting the same OS anyway.

iPhone Sucks
clearly Gadget Show like iPhone, doesn't matter if other phone is better. Gadget Show should be called WE LOVE APPLE BUT ALSO GADGET TO SHOW....

You neglected to point out that, if you use Onavo, you can't use UK only mobile tv apps, 'cos Onavo's servers are outside the UK. Otherwise, good show

What happened to the last few seconds? Was surprised they didn't include the Samsung Galaxy S2 in the mobile tests as it is Samsung's flagship model. Watch Gadget Show via Youtube if you want to reduce the time spent watching adverts (1 min as opposed to 9)

As a blackberry fan I'm very disappointed with the unfair testing. One of the major advantages of the torch is the slide out keyboard which was not even used in the text test?!

Oh, and just after hitting post on that comment, I'm forced to watch another round of the same adverts.

Please cut down on the adverts. 9 minutes of repeated 'content' for a program that's already gone out (and you've already made advertising and competition money on) is bordering on ridiculous. Pretty backwards for a show that looks into the future.

Back to the phone test.... Why didn't the texter use the Blackberry Torch's keypad rather than the touch screen? Surely having a proper keypad is one of the main plus points of the Torch but the tests ignored it!

Poor i-phone and camera test - only tried static pic, most pics are motion - phones fail! Computer speed a second quicker but call it a draw??? Try that one on James Toseland!! Poor gaming device - use one you'd see on the street or the Gadget Show lol. Biased test if ever I saw one.

On the conversation of "Smart Phones" What ever any of you do! Do NOT Get an HTC Mozart 7!!! I have had Four in two weeks and all of them only gave me three! yes THREE hours of battery time! I am on the Orange Network! They have been really unhelpful in getting this situation resolved!!! I have been left with NO phone for SIX Days now while awaiting Orange to "test" the phone to see what is wrong with the thing!! It is also a Windows Phone, which is just useless!!!!!
