This time last year at the Mobile World Congress, Nokia - in the process of being acquired by Microsoft - unveiled a trio of smartphones built upon a forked, Windows Phone-esque version of Android. That little enterprise went down like a lead balloon, and was scrapped but a few months later, but with this year's MWC well underway in Barcelona, the software company has taken the wraps off a couple more devices that it hopes will entice users away from the likes of Android and iOS. The Lumia 640 and Lumia 640 XL are both fairly cheap, and what's more, offer a year's worth of Office 365 completely free. Check both of these devices out after the break!
VLC is rightly considered the best and most versatile video player of them all.

The crux of it is that VLC will be returning to iPhone and iPad, having been in hiding since the launch of iOS 8; the Android version is now finally out of beta as VideoLAN also adds an app for Android TV (beta), and there are also new versions for Windows Phone and Windows RT - along with a few other notable updates across the wider VLC product range. So, not much, then.
