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 [...]

Kingston is one of the major PC memory makers and they’ve been catering to the enthusiast market for some time now with their HyperX lineup. Recently I received a pair of HyperX PC9600 (KHX9600D2K2/2G)sticks that Kingston claim are capable of running at 1.2Ghz.

Palm’s new Treo 755p offers an excellent balance of form, features and applications. Sprint’s speedy EV-DO network combined with ease of use makes the Palm Treo 755p the most well-rounded smartphone on the market today. It is packed with internal and external improvements that many Treo fans have been waiting and wishing for. [...]

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.
