EE have launched a new affordable version of their MiFi device which also has access to the faster ‘double speed’ network supporting up to 150Mbps in selected locations. Simply called the ‘Kite’, this small device acts as a WiFI router for up to 10 devices at one time …
In this article I looked at how it’s possible to manage your fitness using your smartphone and the My Fitness Pal App. My Fitness Pal is used to track your food intake against the amount of exercise you perform, which is great but to give you maximum control …
It’s Friday night, what would be an ideal activity? Pre ordering a phone that doesn’t officially exist yet. And that phone is the much hyped premium material Samsung Galaxy Alpha. Which we saw leaked the other week. Well anyway Mobilefun have opened up pre orders for the Galaxy …
If you get a posh smartphone and then hide it away inside a massively rugged cover, Cat Phones are probably worth looking at. We’ve already thrown one in the bath and the people who make the phone even drove a honking great digger over lots of B15 handsets. …
EE have announced their 250th town in the UK now has 4G coverage with the Cornwall area now being included in the 4G rollout which has now hit 0ver 73% population coverage. EE is still plugging away switching as many sites as on as possible to allow even …
Has it really been two years since we took a look at the original Standeazy ? Apparently it has. Luckily some things haven’t changed. The new version is still the size of a credit card and I’m still dashingly handsome, which is good. The older version of the …
People often ask me to post stuff here. I get a lot of very random emails from companies from Shenzhen in China especially. Usually they start with “Hello friend, battery supply we can. You buy we price good. You review?” However, my mate wanted me to mention something …
Remember earlier in the summer when I kept posting about my charity bike riding? If you missed it, I basically had too much to drink and kinda agreed to get fitter and do some mental rides to raise a bit of cash for charity. After riding a mountain …
Its that crazy time of the month – no, not that one, the other time. That time when Apple rumours start to go into overdrive and both Nexus and Galaxy Note stories spring up from almost nowhere… Almost nowhere. The Information ran a report stating that the new …

Welcome to another episode of the Coolsmartphone Podcast, joining me this week were John and Khellan. John is new to the podcast and also new to the Coolsmartphone team we thought we’d get to know him first. Then tackle the big topics of the week. The “big” topics …
Paying for apps. Let’s admit, not many Android owners do it. So how would you feel if you could get some paid-for apps for nothing at all? If you’re quick, the Amazon app store is the place to be. This Thursday and Friday, 31 July – 1 August, …
