Playing vintage games, such as those from the steeped-in-nostalgia Master System, Megadrive, NES and SNES days, has always been somewhat of a legal minefield. ROM downloads, as abandoned as those old games may seem, are frowned upon both by the companies who once sold those games, and the enthusiast communities who still enjoy playing them. [...]

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012Scarab Multi-Tools Keyring
Thursday, November 24th, 2011As Christmas draws close, the search for gifts begins and gadget bloggers turn their attention to shameless traffic grasping by spouting out more Christmas gift lists than you could shake a candy-cane at. I’m no exception, and have been reaching out into the gadgetosphere for all things shiny and gift-like to cast my eye over. [...]
Solwise 183n Battery Powered 3G Router Review
Saturday, July 16th, 2011A while back I took a look at the MiFi 2352. Since then, the idea of a mobile 3G WiFi hotspot has become widespread, with carriers offering various solutions.

Alienware Orion Backpack Review
Sunday, September 19th, 2010The astute Gadgetoid reader will notice that my search for the ultimate gadget bag has been slow but ongoing. Most of what I’ve looked at thus far has been centered around a 13-15″ laptop, but the Alienware Orion Backpack is different. Those who have, for some reason, owned a ridiculously excessive Alienware Laptop (although to [...]

Thursday, February 25th, 2010Whilst watching import jobs tick over slowly but surely, and waiting for my Samsung U10 video review to up load, I took some time to give you a glimpse at the Proporta Maya Camera Case and Proporta Protective Hard Camera Case, both of which are pretty good offerings for pretty different usage cases.
Wild Charger Wireless Charging Pad Review
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010Wireless chargers are coming thick and fast as a forefront to a possible revolution in charging and power distribution.

Samsung Genio Touch Review
Sunday, January 17th, 2010It’s clear that the feature phone market is still dead-set on emulating the cutting edge that is smartphones. The Genio Touch, as demonstrated by its name, is a touch sensitive phone that endeavours to be as much like its bigger brothers as possible without becoming unnecessarily expensive or, even, evolving any features you wouldn’t ordinarily [...]
Proporta Leather Memory Wallet Review
Sunday, January 17th, 2010Is your life overtaken with SD-card scoffing gadgets? Do you need a place to keep those spare SD cards safe, cozy and warm? Well the Proporta Leather Memory Wallet could be the ultimate wallet replacement for you. Could be. Unfortunately it doesn’t work so well as a wallet. See you over the fold to find [...]
Nokia N900 Versus Motorola Droid/Milestone
Monday, December 21st, 2009The N900 and Motorola Droid represent the latest and greatest of the smartphone market. They’re closely followed by the HTC HD2 but I feel a compulsion to discount it entirely, not just because I don’t have one to hand but because it’s rocking Windows Mobile, the platform which I fled in favour of the iPhone.
