A few months ago we did a round-up of the latest iPad covers and cases in anticipation of its UK release. At the time choice was extremely limited, but we're now inundated with options, matching the variety available to the iPhone. Happily, there are also a few eco-friendly options available. One … [Read more...]
Four pretty iPod speakers
We've looked at speakers in the past for children, wireless speakers for those fed up of tripping over USB leads all the time, and the high tech BOSE SoundDock 10. But what about those of us who like to combine our dorky love of gadgets with our preference for seriously pretty … [Read more...]
The final conclusion: Apple or Android? The iPhone vs HTC Legend
Following on from last week's post (Apple or Android? The iPhone vs HTC Legend), I’ve had time to ruminate over my transition, and having given the Legend back a week or so ago, I’ve had time to miss the things that I actually grew to kind of love.

Apple or Android? The iPhone vs HTC Legend

Chumby: Pointless but great. Dork Review
The Chumby is a prime example of a gadget I hate. It's frivolous, of limited use and it looks ridiculous. In short, it's an electricity thief. And yet, when the courier came to collect it to take it back to Firebox, I had to stop myself from clinging to his ankle and weeping. Yes, it's ultimately … [Read more...]

Retro Rebellion: Bringing back the landline
Who actually uses cordless home phones these days, aside from the elderly and the technophobic? Mobile phones may have replaced much of the need for a home phone, but this home basic still has its benefits. For a start, the battery tends to last longer, you don't need to worry about lost signal, … [Read more...]
The phones you’ll be upgrading to this year
Another month, another technology show. This time, it was the turn of the mobile industry to get up all in your grill, showing off their latest innovations and creations. I luvz it.
