Creative ZiiO Android 2.2 Update
The day has finally arrived and Android 2.2 (Froyo) is now available for download for the Creative ZiiO 7″! Downloadable from the Creative website, it’s a 119MB file which is installed like any other app – this download includes both the Android update plus ZiiO firmware updates. Download links are at the bottom of this [...]
The iPhone 4
I wasn’t going to blog about the iPhone announcement as, well, it didn’t really interest me. About the only feature that I think is ahead of other manufacturers is the high resolution screen – not much higher than the latest HTCs, though, and not AMOLED, but none-the-less impressive. Here’s what developers said about the “revolutionary” [...]
Recommended Android Apps
I’ve had my HTC Hero now for over a month, and have already settled on a number of apps, after much installing, trialling and uninstalling. I therefore thought I’d share my results, all neatly categorised. I haven’t linked to any of the apps, as they should all be searchable in the Android Marketplace. Oh, and [...]
The iPad – fitting a role that doesn’t exist?
I can see the attraction of a tablet PC (which, no matter how they try and dress it up, is all the iPad is) but all Apple have done is dress theirs up with their funky phone OS and a quality touch screen. None-the-less, because of the drum banging and ceremony that goes with an [...]

I was, however, even more surprised to come in this morning and find that the same post had been referenced on the BBC website ! a I suspect they’ve not seen my update though, where I had constant problems with bandwidth problems and the resultant [...]
BBC iPlayer on Nintendo Wii
Last night, or rather at midnight, the BBC iPlayer channel was released for the Nintendo Wii. The iPlayer has been usable in the past using the Opera-powered browser channel, but has been of limited quality and, well, not very easy to use. Now we have a very specific channel just for iPlayer. And it’s been [...]
DRM Clarification
I posted yesterday about a recent story about DRM that I came across on the BBC News site. Unfortunately, I misread the main portion of it, hence why I’ve now removed the post. Instead of seeing that the government was planning on making copying CD’s legal, I somehow read it as “illegal”. Stupid me. Never-the-less, there was a quote from [...]

It’s been a week of trying out tech, with a recent visit from Microsoft promoting their business “goodies” particularly giving me a chance to try some new products out! Microsoft surface The highlight, for me, was trying out Microsoft Surface, the tabletop multi-gesture surface (or, probably more accurately, it’s a smoked glass touch sensitive coffee [...]
