New Apple iPods for all!

September 2, 2010 | MP3 Players | 4 Comments

The mighty Apple yesterday, at the first official live-streamed event, ever, well and truly rev'd their entire iPod range. The maestro of superlatives, Steve Jobs, sporting a re-designed turtle-neck (imagine the hallway convo...Jony Ive sees Steve, and opens with, "Dude. Your turtle-neck design. I'm not feeling it...." The rest is history...) was on top form, and little wonder. The new range looks superb, and features many of the ...

Vodacom: We have your cheapest smart-phone.

August 18, 2010 | Cellular | 5 Comments

Smart-phones are cool. Smart-phones change the way you interact with the web and online services, completely. Social services like Twitter and Facebook and FourSquare, are simply elevated to a whole new level, when you have a smart-phone in your hand.

The Pulse smart-pen records everything you hear, say and write, and links your audio recordings to your notes. so, when you review your notes by touching the ...

HTC: AMOLED, or SLCD?

July 27, 2010 | Cellular | 0 Comments

My real-life introduction to AMOLED*, on a friend's shiny new HTC Desire, would not make for reproduction here. Sadly. It was a doozy. The display is just so...bright, and clear and vibrant, and, well, gob-smackingly beautiful, it scores a 12/10 on the first-impressions scale. Unfortunately, that's not the whole story. The promises of absurd viewing-angles, and ultra-low power consumption, are not quite all they were made out to be. ...
