New research has emerged suggesting Microsoft's forthcoming series of Windows 8 tablets will be too late to the party to break Apple's current hold on the market.

The Samsung Galaxy Mini takes most of the features you'd expect from a smartphone - multitouch, fast 3G browsing, GPS and a range of apps and games - but presents them in a small, cheap package.
