Mark Hattersley: Is it time for the MacBook mini?

I recently returned from the sausage-eating and tech slavering extravaganza that is the IFA Show in Berlin, and the lasting impression I got was the almost omnipotent presence of the small laptop.

Macworld Team: Why China Mobile isn't right for Apple and the iPhone

By Steven Schwankert

Apple's discussions with China Mobile about bringing the popular handset to the world's largest mobile market is the stuff of tech journalists' dreams.

Andy Ihnatko: How Apple could make e-books work

Since the iPhone App Store opened, a non-negotiable part of my day is devoted to safely guiding cartoon animals around a go-kart track.
