Last week, the tech world focused on Berlin for IFA 2012. Those few days were jam packed full of 84-inch 4K televisions, super-sized smartphones and both Windows 8 slates and hybrids. In the latest edition of our weekly tablet mag, we take a look at the best of what IFA had to offer this time around — including all of the devices that made a lasting impression. In case you’ve been napping, the last few days have been all about phones. In “Hands-on” we take a closer look at what Nokia and Motorola revealed in recent press events. On the review front, we put the Canon EOS-1D X and the Sony Reader PRS-T2 through the wringer and offer our detailed analysis. “Eyes-on” catches a glimpse of the Jambox Remix, “Weekly Stat” compiles smartphone screen sizes, “IRL” has even more of our daily gadgetry and meme maker Mr. Weebl admits in the Q&A that all he really wants is a keytar. This week’s issue is bursting at its e-seams, so grab it via your download method of choice to get the weekend reading started.
