5 things that surprised me about the iPhone 5

Of all the new parts of the iPhone 5, what still feels the most shocking? Here are my Top 5.

After a week of using the iPhone 5, I've posted my review of Apple's new phone on CNET. Which brings me to wondering: how much can a familiar-looking device that we've seemingly known about for months be capable of surprising anyone, much less a tech editor?

Amazon Kindle Fire 2: What's new?

Back for round two, the true successor to Amazon's flagship tablet is finally here in the form of the Kindle Fire (2), coming with upgraded processor, memory and battery but otherwise identical to the original model.

Now here is an interesting iPhone 5 case, the kind of which we don't get to see every day.
