If you depend on Oxygen bars to make it through your day as chipper as ever, then maybe this wouldn’t be a bad investment for you. You get the little oxygen bar gadget and a bunch of other stuff so you can give yourself and/or your friends your daily O2 fix. Read The Full Story

Poseidon Mk IV Discovery – dive system recycles O2

, Mar 10th 2008 Discuss [0]

Using a Lithium-ion battery, some CO2 scrubbers and oxygen cells they are able to extend the amount of time you are able to spend under the water. No word on how long you can stay underwater as that’s got to be at least partly depending on the size of battery and size of your air tanks and how you breathe, but sometimes even just a half hour is enough to see the fish you went down looking for in the first place.

MWg adding UMPC and smartphones to their repertoire – way to stay ahead of the curve MWg

, Feb 27th 2008 Discuss [1]

MWg was formerly known as O2 Asia, which hasn’t made anything new in a while. Even better yet, they are going to try and tackle the biggest competitors in that area, names that even US citizens are familiar with. Read The Full Story

Nokia adding RFID to phones in the UK

, Nov 27th 2007 Discuss [0]

In a trial with O2, London Underground, and Nokia, they are offering up a few phones with built in RFID tags to be used with payment systems. Its not a new idea, it was just decided a while ago that it was a rather bad one. So what makes Nokia think they can do something different enough to make it work better? Personally I don’t think they can, I am all about making the contents of my pocket fewer and fewer and simplifying the payment process, but I am also totally against RFID except for the tracking of cargo, items in a business, applications where tracking people, and attaching the tech to money are not combined because I’ve read about the extreme lack of security regarding RFID.

OQO dropping something new out of the blue

, Nov 23rd 2007 Discuss [0]

OQO, the makers of the original UMPC’s the OQO 01, 01+, and new 02 models (the O2 is called the E2 in Europe due to the O2 network provider). Yeah, those guys, they’re dropping something new. It is apparently regarding a “significant Anytime/Anywhere Computing” release. Gizmodo has been further informed that it’s not just a model 02 update, but something entirely new. Read The Full Story

, Nov 9th 2007 Discuss [0]

As I type it's just turned 6.02pm GMT, which means Apple Stores and branches of O2 and Carphone Warehouse in the UK will be overrun with eager iPhone buyers - that's right, four and a half long months after the iconic Apple cellphone went on sale in the US, finally those of us over the pond have the opportunity to try it out for ourselves.   Read The Full Story

SlashGear Review: O2′s minimalist Cocoon cellphone

, Oct 31st 2007 Discuss [2]

Cocoon, if you remember, was a film about a bunch of cantankerous elderly people who discovered the alien key to prolonging their life; with that horrible thought in mind, I grudgingly agreed to review O2 UK’s Cocoon cellphone, fearing that at any moment a trio of elderly men might leap out and deliver a touching message about not marginalising the old.  Thankfully, O2 have been a little more up-to-date with their latest own-brand handset, and while it’s nowhere near perfect have still managed to inject it with a bit more life than some rivals.

New iPhone UK ads

, Sep 18th 2007 Discuss [0]

That’s right, we have video. The ads are pretty much the same as in the US, only with UK cultural things in place of the US.

For example instead of the video of the iPhone surfing the NY Times, its surfing The Guardian. There is also a gentleman with a UK accent doing all the spoken parts.

We have a video of the Q and A, its in processing, we will post it as soon as possible, but for now, we have a text summary below.

SlashGear at Apple event in London

First off, the one I, and likely everyone else, was most interested in, Why no 3G? Steve basically said they like their 8 hour battery life with EDGE, 3G drains that too much, so they are going to wait until they can get at least 5 or more hours of battery with a 3G chipset.

UK iPhone Announced, O2 is the Carrier

, Sep 18th 2007 Discuss [0]

They picked the best carrier, which is apparently O2. The price of the iPhone will be 269 pounds. They will be available in November. Apparently they picked the carrier that felt most like “home” which was O2. The ads are literally the same as the US ones, just interchange a bunch of US only stuff with UK stuff, for example the O2 logo, the NY Times for the Guardian, etc. Read The Full Story
