April 1 is a day on which you really have to keep your wits about you as ‘hilarious’ japes try to get the better of your judgement.

But some are a bit too hard to believe. In most cases such scepticism is justified, but every now again a ridiculous technology story just happens to be true. Sometimes the companies behind it are deliberately trying to trick us and make us the April fools.
For example, Microsoft once said it was releasing a Windows Phone-powered edition of the iconic Nokia 3310.
