Introduction In a world of Octa-core CPU’s, 20mp cameras, and £700 phones sometimes its nice to look in the other direction. What phone do you recommend to your friends for say, a teen about to get her first smart phone, or a granny looking to talk to her children with video? Over the last few […]
At March of the Droids 2015 Honor, the new brand from Huwawei, launched a new warranty service for the UK called Honor VIP. Applicable to their new handsets, the Honor 6 and 6+, Honor will now try to replace any broken device on the same day. As we all know not having your phone in […]
Introduction The Piper Home security camera is a security device with a few smart extras in its arsenal. Using Z Wave technology the Piper doubles as a home automation hub along with its security skills. Build & Aesthetics The Piper is a really good looking security camera. It comes in either glossy black or glossy […]
Don’t call it a Smartwatch. I blame Sony really. They started the whole wearable idea off well, calling their first wrist based device the “Liveview.” This was a great step in the right direction, but they let us down by making the next two devices “smartwatches.” You see, the biggest problem with all of these […]
There are a few things that just don’t work on Wear, browsers for example. The watch is not designed to read articles on, it really isn’t, however, I do want the ability to skim my social media posts and reply using voice. This seems like a natural progression from the notification system already in place. […]
In the crowded market of power banks, it is difficult for a startup company to really make its mark. Dark Energy, the guys behind the Reservoir are giving it a try. Lets see how they do. Design The Reservoir is actually a really nice looking device. With its soft plastic feel and dimpled texture it […]
When I was young I was into the whole “Happy Hardcore” scene. The euphoria of huge thumping bass pulsing through a nightclub while you dance is a feeling everyone should have. In the U.S. right now is another heavy beat movement called EDM. I call EDM, or Electric Dance Music to give it its full […]
Today, after what seems like a million years UK Network provider GiffGaff released their MyGiffGaff App to the Play Store. For those who don’t know GiffGaff is a virtual network provider running off the O2 network that is entirely community run. Boasting unlimited data on most of its Goodybag bundles for as little as 12 a […]
The wearables market is going to big this year. We all know it, everyone is telling us it, and so it must be true. I’ve had a fair few “connected” watches over the years, I even owned the Sony LiveView which, in my humble opinion was one of the worst pieces of technology I […]
If you have been interested in the fitness band market over the last few years, you will have no doubt heard of FitBit. The FitBit Zip and One were, arguably last year’s best fitness bands and the Flex and Force look set to continue that trend this year. [toggle title=”Cost and Where to Buy” […]
CES2014 was awash with the smell of gym socks this year. OK that’s not quite true, but the whole event was dominated by the wearables market with a heavy overtone of “things to help you be more fit.” I got to play with a large amount of them and I wanted to share some of […]
For any of you who have read my iHome iB50B Review you will know how impressed I was with the sound quality versus the price. This review wont be like that. This review is based on this concept: “If I had any amount of money to spend on a set of headphones for my […]
This year (2014) was my first time at International CES. I’ve been to a few different events, MWC, DroidCon and even an event I helped create called March of the Droids. All of these have their own unique and interesting parts but none compare to the cacophony that is CES. Over the next few weeks […]
Being the Co-Host on a podcast is awesome. Have I ever told you that? Well it is. One of the things that you learn when recording is sound quality is king. Good microphones are of course the major component in that but you also need a good set of headphones to keep the sound from […]
One of the big sellers at this years CES was bluetooth speakers. As we become more and more reliant on our smartphones for entertainment, so we constantly look for ways to free ourselves of the wires that tie our smartphones to our accessories. This article is a review/comparison of my two favourites from this years […]
Motorola have finally redeemed themselves in my jaded eyes. After many years of failed promises from Motorola UK in regards to updates, the company has come through with the Moto G. After only a few weeks the 4.4.2 update has come to the UK model. Having spent a little time today with the new update […]
On Wednesday the 5th of September Sony released A whole bevy of interesting Gadgets and Gizmo’s at this year’s IFA. While I didn’t manage to go to the event in Germany, Sony were nice enough to supply me a ticket to this year’s Campus Party so I could get a hands on. I spent most […]
As the title suggests, this is not a review. I can’t stand websites that say they have a review of an App that is still in Beta so for me to say I’m reviewing an app that is in alpha would be hypocritical so let me call it a hands on instead (Or maybe a […]
The Moto X has caused a pretty big buzz since its launch just a few days ago — some good buzz, some bad, but all interesting. Putting aside the controversial aspects for a moment, I’d like to focus on something that Robert Scoble thinks of as, “the freaky line” and the “always on” connection to […]
Sometimes I receive technology through my door that shakes the very foundations of what I thought was possible. Not this week though. This week I have been given a Mobio Go from our friends at Clove.co.uk to try out and I have to say I am impressed. Using the witchcraft that is magnets, Mobio […]
Are you "that lying barsteward" who likes to text dirty messages to other woman? or perhaps you are "that Cheating Biatch" who sends naked selfies to men she met at a club while your man was looking after the kids and worrying you might not make it home, or if he had given you enough […]
Imagine if you will a city on the south coast of England. A quiet city, one that has been a centre of commerce and civilisation since the Romans occupation. The city children run and play with the innocent abandon only the young can bring to the world while their parents look on with smiles and […]
It’s always wonderfully refreshing when an app comes along that just does it right. There are a lot of twitter clients out there as we all know but a new one has sprung up recently that i felt compelled to write about. Tweet Lanes is, as the name suggests a twitter client, but with a […]
