Admittedly, I was THIS close to dumping my BlackBerry 
for a shiny new Android device maybe even the  new Samsung GALAXY S4 that is going to hit our shores (or by the time you read this, already hit our shores). However with BlackBerry finally releasing their first BB10 device, the Z10, here I was more than ecstatic about getting my hands on it. Which is why we’ve taken a look this month at the new Z10, full review on page 42 (1), and see if it’ll be the phone that lifts BlackBerry’s fortunes up.

There’s some new iPhones! Oh, you heard? 
One’s mega-powerful and the other’s super-colourful,
but will they inspire enough adulation to restore Apple’s place at the head of the tech pantheon? The first coming of iPhone and iPad ensured years of fan worship for the late Steve Jobs and his disciples, making them seemingly insurmountable. We’ve reviewed the iPhone 5s on p82 to see if it at least restores the iPhone idol to its place atop the smartphones altar.

There are changes afoot in the fabric of the apposphere. And as we know, apps are all around us. 
There hasn\'t been an evolutionary jump like this since the App Store first materialised from the genius mind of Steve Jobs. iOS 7 developers are ditching the twee faux-analogue design flourishes that previously Apple championed with the page turning of Calendar, the hideous velvet curtain opening of Photobooth and, of course, the Ikea-esque bookcases of iBooks. Of course, we welcome the death of skeuomorphism, but stoneage apps wearing new loincloths is but a small step towards the second age of apps – we uncover the giant leaps on p46.

There are times when technology can make you feel like a giddy, Raleigh Burner-riding kid again. 
The first time you used an iPhone was probably one of them and I suspect the first time you successfully 3D-print something will be another. With these desktop builderbots becoming ever more attainable, we thought it was time to put some of them to work.

Round one of the next-gen gaming showdown may have not begun, but there’s a clear favourite after the weigh-in. Following plenty of posturing and badmouthing at the E3 tradeshow in LA, the internet has decided that the PS4 (1) was the hero and the Xbox One (2) the heel. But is it as simple as price disparity and evasiveness, or are our expectations to blame? We bare-out our unbiased musings on the respective pros and cones of these mega consoles are laid down on p46 where we also introduce the crazy notion that Steam is going to ‘pwn’ both of them at the same time.

By the time you read this, we\'ll have changed our mind about the new Xbox One umpteen times. As it is, with the presses held by us for the launch, we\'ve had a happy few hours arguing about it – people frequently jumping sides as various aspects of Microsoft\'s new console were outlined. It\'s a contentious one, the One, for sure. Coverage begins on p6 (1). Let us know what your thoughts are via all the mediums below.

Make yourself at home. If you’re new to Stuff, settle in for a gadgety feast. If you’re a regular reader, you might have noticed a few changes around these parts. Don’t worry: it’s the same mag it’s always been, just a little, well, different.Since last we overhauled, technology’s moved on (as it’s wont to do). The iPad’s happened. Google’s taken over the world. Apps and firmware upgrades are the new gadgets. We felt we had to move on too.

This month, our geekiest dreams became reality. The ability to transform ourselves into cyborgs complete with head-up display is a nailed-on certainty now that Google has beta-released Glass into the wild. Meanwhile, Dick Tracy tech received a major boost as rumours emerged from NYT and WSJ of Apple’s iWatch. The signs are clear: pockets will soon become obsolete as part of the wearable gadget revolution, whether it demands a shot of sartorial bravery or just requires you to strap something shiny to your wrist.

Let’s take a second to mourn for the non-initiated. The Joes and Moes who don’t buy Stuff, who don’t hang out in Apple Stores, who aren’t awoken by the insistent vibrato of an RSS reader app busting to unload the night’s tech news into their eyes. Every now and then, they need a new TV so they buy the wrong model on the suggestion of Kevin from the out-of-town megastore.

This month we’ve all taken a long, hard look at ourselves and decide … actually, we’re in pretty good shape. Really, what’s the fuss about? We’ve got an iPad Mini, an unecessarily expensive mountain bike and some pretty good times on Strava, and then there’s that fledgling Arduino/app project. Plus, there’s good times ahead in the shape of the re-emergence of AR and VR gadgetry, Xbox Infinity and folding cars.

There was cacophony here at Stuff towers, the night the iPad Mini launched. In part this was because the rotation of the Earth made that early-morning SF launch an evening post-beer party. But for the most part the sound was a symphony of hmms and ehs? and whats?, as Apple chose to be bridesmaid, not bride, by launching a ‘small’ tablet that was bigger, lower-res and more expensive than rivals – although none the less desirable for it.

It’s the holiday season and boy are we excited! This year’s season to be jolly has given us a wonderful number of toys, gadgets and gears to choose from and we’ve come up with a list (1, p74) to help you on your shopping spree. So if you be needing some new dalliances on the gadget side, you know where go. Of course one thing we’re sure you’re all be looking forward to are some new phones. The thing is, now you have to decide between a Galaxy S III or an iPhone 5, or one of the host of Androids that’s stuck its head over the parapet, such as the whopping Galaxy Note II

Technology continues to move faster than a photon who’s left the gas on. Which is brilliant, of course, but it means that from time to time we all have some catching up to do. 
If you can already tell your friends what TV to buy, show 
them which apps to download, and say “hmm, the treble’s a little harsh” in eight languages, you deserve a pat on the back – but a true geek is always honing their skills. On p60 and the 16 pages that follow, we’ll show you what you need to know, do and make in order to bag a place among 2012’s most elite gadgeteers.

It’s the big one. The Royale with Cheese. The stretch Hummer of tech questions. No bickering about whose smartphone is slimmer. No figure-mongering with endless app statistics or ‘market penetration’. This issue is about the multi-faceted struggle between the three most important tech companies on the planet today: Apple, Google and Microsoft. Each has something new to shout about: Google has the Nexus tablet and Jelly Bean OS; Apple has the Retina MacBook and iOS 6; Microsoft is incinerating its whole ecosystem and starting afresh with Windows 8, Windows Phone 8 and the lovely Surface tablet.

The definition of what is cool can be pretty subjective but here at Stuff, we kind of pride ourselves in being avatars of good taste. Our yearly Cool List is a smorgasbord of everything, for the lack of a better word, cool and despite us being a gadget magazine, we’ve gone beyond the confines of our regular subjects – after all this year’s list contains a comic, an aeroplane, a game about moving boxes and not one but two printers. But despite how that sounds, this year’s list is undoubtedly the most thrilling yet.

Welcome to a very special issue of Stuff. An issue so special that we've made it three times: one cover features Mark Cavendish, the fastest cyclist in the world; one has Jessica Ennis, champion heptathlete and Team GB gold medal hope; and one is graced by Usain Bolt, the sprinter so bedecked with medals he must struggle to stand. These athletes and more star in our 20-page guide to the London Olympics (1) – the greatest show on Earth, deconstructed, Stuff-style. It's promising to be the techiest Olympics ever, so we've torn apart the main events and highlighted the sports kit you need to know

People will always be fascinated with what's coming round next. After all it's that feeling of anticipation of the next major thing, especially in the worldof gadgetry and tech, that brings some nice warm feelings into our bones.  Now is good, next will be better: it's why sci-fi will be endlessly appealing and I will always hope Holo deck technology will eventually become real.

This month, the Stuff Malaysia team brings you the ultimate guide to the new iPad having gone 200 eye-popping hours with this brilliant device. That\'s not all, they also take a look at the 20 best smartphones in the world and the hard core gaming machine that is the Alienware X51.

The Stuff Malaysia team checks out some of the best, for the lack of a better word, stuff, that the Brits have given the world. Everything from cars to even vacuum cleaners, you\'ll be surprised just what have come out of the this years hosts to the Olympics. You\'ll also get a glimpse off some of the coolest gadgets that you can wear with you and if you\'re an avid photo taker, the Stuff Malaysia team test 5 sexy pocket cams that\'ll make photo shooting even more enjoyable.

Stuff has a unique understanding of the desires of the 21st century man, the cognoscenti, urban warriors and early adopters: to buy, to play, to share. And we know how to communicate those passions, with a playful tone devoid of typical media cynicism. That’s why we’re the world’s best-selling gadget magazine.

A uniquely entertaining digital lifestyle magazine, Stuff is cutting edge, entertaining and inspirational. Clearly a magazine about guys and their gadgets, its about making it all accessible – about how a product looks and how it fits into a readers life, rather than about the mechanics of ‘what’s going on inside the product’. What’s coming soon, how hot is it and the latest need-to-know trends give context to readers’ buying decisions offering practical advice that allows its readers to make informed decisions that enable them to buy the best product for their needs and lifestyle. 

Although its target audience is men in their 20s and 30s, Stuff has a wide readership that encompasses all ages and genders, bound by one common trait: an addiction to the shiny things in life.
