Powermat gadget charger review
Loose cables are the bane of my working life. Between my phone, netbook, Nintendo DS and iPod, I've got wires all over the place. Even with an extension lead, I'm still using all the available plugs.

Stocking Fillers: Novelty Speakers for your iPod
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.

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).

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.

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...]
Dork review: Pzizz for iPhone roadtest – day 1
I chose to nap when I got home from work - some US corporations have adopted a nap-friendly policy to boost productivity, but if I tried catching 40 winks at my desk here in London I'd be out on my ear. So I silenced the boyfriend's hellos, batted away the cat's pitiful pleas for food (pah!), … [Read more...]
