Signalex iPhone/iPad Docking Station
This review is part of the 1 Pound Challenge – can you find a decent gadget in a pound shop? Before I start, I should add that although it’s called an iPhone/iPad Docking Station there is a sticker on the product which states that it doesn’t work with iPads. However, I have tried this with an iPod Touch and [...]
Are the iPad 3 cracks already appearing?
Not literally mind you. Users of the iPad 3 (sorry, New iPad) are reporting a much reduced battery life than expected and problems with over-heating. The latter doesn’t cause any problems other than a very warm or hot section of the back case. As you know, the battery life on the New iPad is supposed to be [...]

ReTrak , popular in the US, are now selling their range of products in the UK at retailers such as PC World , Dixons and Amazon.

Why the next iPhone shouldn’t be the iPhone 5
The recent announcement of the iPhone 4S was met, pretty universally, by disappointment. People were expecting the iPhone 5.

However, after recently buying their Pogoplug Pro hardware myself, I am perturbed by their “rip off” pricing for the UK. Their Pogoplug Pro costs $99.99, with cheapest postage at $12.95. For some reason, when buying from [...]
Powermat – great idea, shame about the range
Powermat is a company, and range of products, that allow you to charge your electrical gadgets via conductive charging – that’s the same technology that most electric toothbrushes use, where charge is sent to the device without having to physical plug it in. Instead you buy a “mat” which does the charging and each device has [...]
The GadgetShow and un-smart smartphone test
Tonights included a “showdown” between 4 of the “latest” a smartphones – the iPhone 4, Nexus S, HTC HD7 and the Blackberry Torch (each representing a different OS – iOS, Android, Windows 7 and Blackberry, respectively). Now, on Twitter I’ve denounced The Gadget Show a few times and said I’d never watch it again. But I [...]
Is Poker and Bingo the Future of Android apps?
My earlier post about the future of gaming got me thinking. For over a year now I’ve been earnestly intending to start developing Android Apps. That requires me to learn Java as a starter – and then onto the Android specifics. Unfortunately, time has been my enemy and I haven’t really got anywhere with it. None-the-less, I keep [...]
