“Everything’s online these days” is a common refrain and becoming more relevant to our lives. Most major tech companies provide some kind of free ‘cloud storage’ (Microsoft, Google, Dropbox, Box) and even note-taking services like Evernote and OneNote need to store those notes somewhere. This is also a …
I admit from the outset that despite being a mobile phone addict, I have never been tempted by the iPhone. The iPhone announcement did little to increase my enthusiasm. I am, on the other hand, quite a supporter of the Windows Phone OS. Observing the difference of opinions …
One of the reasons I didn’t want to leave Orange was because me and my wife were both customers and I’d got used to the HD voice quality. In the early days (Orange rolled out HD Voice in 2010) this wideband audio functionality was only available on just …
We all love something for free, particularly when it’s the latest album by Dublin’s greatest sons (excluding Boyzone of course). U2, one of Apple’s original partners when iTunes was launched, has decided to release its new album for free on iTunes. The album is only available for the next …
For our third instalment of our teen developer interviews I had Chris Frees come on to talk about his experiences with developing and designing websites. You define yourself as a designer and developer. Which do you enjoy most? Do you define yourself with one over the other? That’s a …
Remember the HTC Flyer? Although it wasn’t a runaway success we were all a bit saddened to see HTC shy away from producing any further tablets. Since then Samsung have cornered most of the Android tablet market with many other brands and even supermarket names filling the gaps …
I’m always banging on about it, but brand is a major fact when people are buying a phone. Buy an iPhone and the Apple logo on the back is part of what you’re after. Say “Nokia” to someone and, unfortunately, a lot of people will think of something …
We all know the theory, smartphones were going to steal Nintendo’s crown for the ultimate mobile gaming platform, but it never really happened the way it was supposed to. There have been a few stand out stars in the mobile gaming world, masterpieces like Infinity Blade, Real Racing …
Back in the good old days you could buy an app from the Android Market, as it was then, and have a whole 24 hours to make your mind up if you wanted to keep it or not. If it turns out that is was actually totally useless …
On EE? Got data issues? Yeah, you’re not the only one. This evening, and for a number of hours now, data connectivity issues have continued to plague users. The most recent update we have now is from the EE community section, and this is being given out to …
No, this is not some sort of late April Fool’s Day prank. Just as James wrote about the need for innovation recently, the one area that old dumb phones still triumph over modern smart phones is in battery life. Long gone are those days where a battery would last …
Hannspree have today announced their intention to enter the budget Android smartphone market. They already have a range of Android tablets and monitors under their belts so the move into smaller devices makes sense. Also considering that their sister company Hannstar make a range of displays as well, …
The launch of a hotly anticipated Apple product usually ignites passion in both fan camps. Apple followers will applaud the bigger screens and Apple Pay system, plus the launch of the Apple Watch, which has fitness tracking and NFC too. Meanwhile, the Apple haters will be stating that …
Speakers. They’re great, sure, but not very interesting to look at. How about a Bluetooth one with a funky graphic equaliser on the front? Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Not only is the Helium T900 waterproof, but it can take calls, it’ll blast your tunes out and has these …
The announcement of the two newer and larger-screened iPhone devices yesterday has had the expected knock-on effect on the price of that old crappy iPhone 5s that people are walking around with. (Joke!) Right now, if you want the unlocked 16GB version, you can get it for £459. …
Public transport is my thing. I use it to get to work and to see friends. In a way I quite like it, because instead of being one of those people texting while driving (and believe me. I see this a lot from up high in the buses), …
Well, we’ve currently got almost every network and retailer in the planet trying to work out pricing for the new Apple devices, so here’s an early look at what we’ve been told. It’s fair to assume that the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus will be available …
The Smartwatch has become something rather popular over the last year, every manufacturer wants to make one and every consumer has been wondering what the Apple Watch would look like. Well the wait is over they’ve gone and announced it, complete with three different styles and a whole …
This afternoon Apple have staged an event in the US, where they showed us the latest aspirational products that people just have to own this year. Rumours have been flying around for months now surrounding the different size screens and of course the Apple SmartWatch. Now finally those …
