Well, it’s been a busy friggin’ week (again), largely thanks to the iPad mini. We also had an unexpected contender for Story of the Year when Carphone Warehouse ‘accidentally’ published every last detail of the Nexus 4 ahead of Monday’s launch. And presumably received several thousand hits for their trouble.
Next week we have Google’s Android event and Microsoft’s Windows Phone 8 launch on the Monday, and, er, Halloween on the Wednesday. I’m dressing up as a German Irishman who doesn’t believe in fridges.
Happy weekending, you maniacs.
