Here's the new Toshiba Portege G810. Looks good huh ? Well, yes and no. Up close it's plastic fantastic, the battery doesn't last long and those sexy buttons / navigation pad aren't the most practical things to use. Inside Windows Mobile Pro 6.1 has b...

It's all been a little quiet of late. To be honest we're all waiting for those recently "announced" phones to become "available" phones. The HTC Touch Diamond has, at least, taken a step closer on Vodafone. Vodafone now joins Orange and T-Mobile in a...
Being just 21 (ahem) I can't remember anything about the Commodore 64 or Vic 20, however there's now a rather splendid emulator for those that do. It's got a completely re-written core and interface and you can switch between Vic20 / Commodore 64 emul...
