Does the Nintendo DSi XL get a big hand?
This week, I go supersized, as I get my hands on the Nintendo DSi XL. It arrives in the UK in March, and grows an extra inch onto both screens to give a slightly more immersive portable gaming experience.
There’s also a slightly better viewing angle, and a battery life of 10 hours, but it’ll also set you back an extra £30 on the original Nintendo DSi. So is it worth it, or is it a pointless…

Google working on an iPad rival?
It’s only been in official existence for just over a week, but already it seems like new adversary Google may have its sights set on the Apple iPad.

Read moreThe future of robotics?
This week on Web TV Ortis jetted off to Stateside to take a look at the latest robotic wonder. Dubbed the Ball Bot, this robot gets around by using just one wheel and a series of gyroscopes and accelerometers.
It may not have the charm of a Honda Asimo or a Sony Aibo just yet, but this could well be the way out robot butlers of the future will fetch us our cocktails by the pool.
