The great reviews for LG’s technology keep rolling in as Techradar award the BD570 media streamer an excellent 5 stars and ask the ultimate question, ‘is it a media streamer that plays Blu-rays, or vice versa?

Two drums and a cymbal fall off a cliff – b’dom, tssh! The old ones are the best, but now, thanks to self professed ‘geek comedian’ Tom Scott we actually know this is fact - because he threw two drums and a cymbal off a cliff!
Being big fans of Tom Scott’s work we asked him to come up with a fun video using nothing but 2 VIP Lady GaGa tickets and some LG GW620 InTouch Max phones. So Tom devised ‘The Lady GaGa Race’. The idea is simple, get in touch with 2 friends either side of the country and...
