Dymo’s desktop mailing solution is a two piece kit with a twin turbo labelmaker and 5lb scale. Both are compact and the label maker has a nice modern design that looks good sitting next to my computer. Tres cute! But most importantly the thing works.
When I’m not burying my head in electronics and scouring the pages of my favourite VCR manual I do enjoy reading non-tech fiction, so when I saw that book retail chain Borders have launched a mobile chapter sampler service I thought I’d give it a try. And since nothing we do has any meaning [...]
I have been carrying around the Pantech C3b for about a month now. I wasn’t really sure what to expect when it arrived, because from the photographs of the phone I actually didn’t care much for it. Once it did come in the overall look was definitely cute.
I got an iPhone at exactly 6:15 PM Central time and started charging it at 7:10PM. I’m currently an AT&T customer, so porting my current AT&T number to the iPhone is a quick and easy process.
After activation, iTunes started to sync my emails (including email account settings), my address book, iTunes music playlist, photos and [...]
Back in November last year, Samsung US took the wraps off the Blackjack smartphone. It understandably turned some heads: slim and lightweight but still with high-speed cellular data access and a full QWERTY keyboard, it made a convincing argument when compared with HTC’s bulky range and the ubiquitous Blackberry.

The ultraportable MacBook some were hoping for didn’t arrive at WWDC, so it seems a good time to look at options for the mobile user who prizes portability above all else. Fujitsu Siemens’ P1610, despite its age - it was announced in November last year - remains one of the most coveted mini notebooks; [...]
Much to my shame, Linux is something of a mystery to me. Actually, I think they should teach at least the basics of it in school computing classes, alongside English and at least one foreign language (though don’t ask me about my French abilities either), but this is neither time nor place for my [...]
With the comment fires raging at Microsoft’s claim to have sold a million Zunes in less than six months, perhaps it’s a good time to look at another of Apple’s competitors, and one which provokes a little less bile. Samsung has already shown itself to be capable of taking on the iPod Nano in [...]
Toward the end of last month there was a very special 25th birthday: on the 23rd April 1982 the Sinclair ZX Spectrum was launched on an unsuspecting British public. Here in the UK Sir Clive, the founder of Sinclair, became something of a figure of fun after the failure of his C5 personal transportation [...]
LG’s Prada phone rather upset the Apple-cart. Until the slender fashion-handset stepped into the limelight, analysts were happily joining up the dots between Synaptic’s Onyx concept and Apple’s iPhone, and fully expecting to see the capacitive ClearPad technology appear in Cupertino’s long-awaited handset. Then out struts the LG, and all of a sudden [...]
