One of the occupational hazards facing new bloggers is getting caught up in the PR hype of a new product. It’s not difficult to emulate - just go to the ‘News’ section of any reasonably sized manufacturer and read a promises-the-world press release, only imagine doing so with the added pressure of someone whispering [...]
If you read anything other than Electrodes Monthly then you’ll have noticed that there’s something of a backlash at the moment against “the cult of size zero” and super-skinny models. Once mainstream media has finished flambéing Kate Moss and friends, I can only assume they’ll turn their dark attentions to other proud advocates of [...]
Backup is boring, let’s admit it, but a shiny chunk of Network Attached Storage can lend a little of its new-toy glee to the procedure. My time with LaCie’s Ethernet Disk mini might not exactly be the stuff of fairy-tales - boy meets NAS, boy falls in love with NAS, boy takes NAS home [...]
I can imagine there are some first-gen iPod Nano owners shouting “it’s a copy!” at the screen right now, and I know why. Samsung’s K3 has the same mixture of sleek black and chrome, the same waifish profile and the same light weight. And yet with it in my hand, it feels very [...]
Here’s a prediction for you: the Sidekick iD will never make it over the Atlantic to the UK. And lest you accuse me - as some already have - of being anti-iD, I’ll tell you why. In the US, the Sidekick 3 will set you back $199.99 with a contract, that’s after a [...]
I’ve had a little time to play with the Mio H610, and I’m pretty much sold on it. It has its drawbacks, but the good definitely outweighs the bad.
First, it looks great and fits nicely in my hand, which is good since it is meant to be carried around, not just left in your car [...]
Might my HTC-design vitriol have to be retired? Not only have pictures of their new PPC-6800 smartphone for Sprint emerged, with a noticeable improvement in aesthetics, but thanks to a SlashGear reader we’ve had a hands-on report of it and it’s all starting to sound quite tempting.
Check out our exclusive first-play report after the [...]
Phones have, over the past ten years, been getting more and more attractive. Unfortunately, the leaps and bounds in product design generally haven’t been matched in physical toughness; you either treat your handset with pretty much kid-gloves, or take out expensive phone insurance that covers you in case you sit on/drive over/feed to a [...]
Scroll your memory truffles back ten years, flick open a catalogue of printers and tell me the cheapest monochrome laser you can find. Bowel-shattering, isn’t it. And yet for the past few weeks in my lounge-cum-banquette-seating-area I’ve had a networked laser printer that you can pick up for less than $100 online (or [...]
The arrival of Sprint’s EX720 EV-DO ExpressCard made by Novatel couldn’t have come at a better time. Apple have recently released software drivers to natively support the EX720, meaning Mac owners are now free to revel in the joy of Rev.A mobile broadband.
Yet to receive blessing from the FCC,The “trial device” which arrived courtesy [...]
