- 2011/06/21Virgin Media TiVo 500GB vs 1TB
Update: The TiVo price has been dropped to £99.95 for existing customers (I believe those who have bought at the higher price also get a refund). The extra £3 and XL TV package required are still going to sting a little, but this is a much more realistic price gap between the 500GB… Read more

I've never been a fan of the SOCOM series, in fact I've never so much as given it a chance. With so many craptacular macho shooting games to choose from, I've had to stick with the good ones. ( No. Not Call of Duty ) Okay, that's an unnecessary slam, I really don't know if the SOCOMs… Read more

One might balk at the iPhone 4 for its lack of FM radio. But the fact is that the brilliant Roberts Robi, which I looked at donkeys years ago, adds not only FM radio to your iPhone 4, but DAB and an inline remote to boot.And that's the great thing about the iPhone. It may have… Read more
- 2010/07/06iPhone 4 Cases
Better late than never! I've finally got my hands on the fabled, all singing, all dancing, signal attenuating iPhone 4. Yes I'm left handed, and yes the signal absolutely bombs out if I hold the iPhone in the "wrong" way and takes a while to recover. I don't see how a software fix can… Read more
