Well I’ve finally bitten the bullet and gone and bought myself a smart phone, my hand was somewhat forced by my previous handset crashing every couple of hours. It probably didn’t help that I dropped it down the loo once too! Anyway, The long and the short of it is that I took the plunge [...]

Clip and Talk Solar Powered Bluetooth Cat Kit
Friday, April 23rd, 2010Solar power seems to be working its way into many simple, common devices. Some of the simplest are the best, with the SolarDAB being a good example. Radio lends itself well to this sort of power, and it seems that car kits do too. The Clip and Talk Solar Powered Bluetooth Car Kit is a [...]
SmallTalk Mini Bluetooth Headset Review
Thursday, April 15th, 2010Bluetooth headsets are the one thing I would have thought that no sane individual would want any smaller.

I may be missing the point. Bu…
Monday, April 12th, 2010I may be missing the point. But Splinter Cell: Conviction is rubbish. It has a serious identity crises, and is absurdly unforgiving.
Sony SRS DB500 2.1 Speakers Review
Sunday, April 11th, 2010As much as they try to pretend otherwise with their Hi-Fi audio appearance the Sony SRS DB500 are PC speakers through and through or, at a pinch, a ridiculously over the top outlet for the tunes on your portable audio player. They’re great for gaming, but you will do them a better justice pumping out [...]
