Everyone and his gran seems to have an iPhone/iPod/MP3 player these days, which makes it a hell of a lot easier for you to find a suitable present. A set of portable speakers are small enough to fit in most stockings, and cheap enough to fit most budgets. The Rockstar from Urbanz (£17.99) … [Read more...]
Dork Review: BOSE SoundDock 10
BOSE is a brand I've always heard good things about, but never had the good fortune to actually try out. Until now. I recently tested the BOSE SoundDock 10 digital music system (£699). The iPod docking station looks similar to a lot of the other docking stations on the market, but looks are where … [Read more...]
Dork Review: Dishy iPhone cooking app
Catering for a dinner party has got to be up there on the stress scale with organising a wedding or a surprise birthday party. We've all seen the Come Dine With Me episodes, where the host cries/gets drunk/screams at her guests when the meal falls to pieces. Cooking for a group of people, … [Read more...]
There should be an app for that
As winter draws in, it strikes me that I'm no better set up against the cold dark nights than I was this time last year. And that's despite the launch of Spotify, the arrival of a new slimline PS3, and marked leaps being made in 3D TV technology in 2009. In short, technology doesn't seem to … [Read more...]
Dork Review: Sonos BU250 wireless music system
Ah, wireless! One of the buzzwords of the noughties, mentioned in the tech world at every opportunity and held up as the ultimate goal for all gadgets. And rightly so. We've all lived under the tyranny of wires and cables for too long. Who hasn't spent 15 sobbing minutes of their life fighting … [Read more...]
Dork review: Pzizz for iPhone roadtest – day 4
Tragedy struck this evening when my Pzizz for iPhone went all wobbly and crashed. BEFORE I was quite looking forward to my Pzizz nap (THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I LOOK FORWARD TO THINGS). I took today as leave so, for the first time in weeks, I had the requisite eight hours' sleep, caught up with … [Read more...]
Dork review: Pzizz for iPhone roadtest – day 3
Before Today I was shattered. I had a late night, an early start (yesterday’s pre-coffee cheeriness had vanished; 6am saw me blearily wandering around the house pondering what to do with the toothbrush in my hand) and a long, looooong work day. I was so tired that I could almost hear an angelic … [Read more...]
Android vs iPhone – it’s the new Jordan vs Peter
You should probably know right now, I use a Macbook. And an iPhone. And I briefly considered buying the new Magic Mouse, even though I work on the sofa, which isn’t massively conducive to miceness (or non-twisted spineness, since you ask). So, yeah. I’d like to protest I’m not a fangirl, but the … [Read more...]
Dork review: Pzizz for iPhone roadtest – day 2
A little experiment tonight: train-based napping. It was a hugely busy day in the office, I had to work late and I was due to spend the evening with a friend. And my lunchtime attempt to nap in the loos ended abruptly when I gave a male cleaner with a master key the fright of his life by perching … [Read more...]
Etre Touchy gloves for iPhone owners
It’s cold. There’s no escaping it. While hats are good for heads and scarves a necessary neck accoutrement when you’re out and about, gloves and gadgets just don’t go. Ever tried using your mobile while wearing mittens? Not easy. And it’s a slippery job to interact with your iPod when gloved … [Read more...]
