- It seems as though the Wii U is not selling very well. We already know that Nintendo sells the console below cost, but according to a NPD rep sales of Wii U hardware are 38% lower than sales for the original Wii across the first three months of availability. 'Sources' also have been told that Wii U sales for the whole of January were “well under” 100,000 units, some estimates peg the figure as low as 45,000 to 59,000 units.

- Skype will soon have Video Voicemail as a feature! The company have been testing the feature on OS X, Android and iOS. At the moment, those of us in the US and UK should be seeing an option to use the feature, although it might be hidden in some sort of overflow features button. For the moment it seems that people will get 20 free video messages to start with and we're not sure what happens after that, but Skype have confirmed that unlimited voice messaging will be included as part of a premium subscription.

Fingers crossed everything's good this time around!

- Do you remember that super expensive Vertu Ti phone we covered the other day? Well it turns out that the device was actually meant to run Windows Phone, but it turns out that the device is now running Android because of the "complexity of building for Windows Phone." We're not quite sure what that means, but it's probably got something to do with the limited customisability Microsoft's operating system offers OEM's compared to Android!
