Available in a range of damn funky colours is Samsung’s natty new Ultra Touch S8300 slider phone (called the Ultra Touch everywhere but Britain).

Spock-ear-toting sci-fi fans should be happier than a tribble in a cargo bay after Virgin Media announced the launch of its new Sci-fi & Fantasy area of its TV ‘on demand’ section.
