[Tech] Out with the HTC Desire, In with the Samsung Galaxy S

So my last post was about change from an iPhone 3 GS to a HTC Desire, and thinking the Desire was broken due to the Wi-Fi issues, I took it back to CEX. They agreed to an exchange but didn’t have another Desire so instead I came home with a Samsung Galaxy. Before we get [...]

[Tech] Out with the iPhone 3GS, In with the HTC Desire

Last week my iPhone 3GS started to play up; it would drop calls mid conversation and 50% of calls wouldn’t actually reach me, with some going straight through to voice mail. As I am working from home at the moment it’s imperative I have a fully functioning phone and can’t take the land line as [...]

Photography: Photo of the Day – August 8th 2010

The amount of flying ants that seem to have descended on the area this afternoon is like a scene with a film that has swarm in the title, and with a toddler in tow we’ve taken shelter indoors for the rest of the afternoon. I’ve been aware of flying ants in previous years but the [...]

iPhone: I got an iPhone 4!

OK, so I lied, I don’t have an iPhone 4! I’m really not that bothered either, which surprises me. It’s usually the case that the closer I get to the release of a key new piece of technology, the more I want it, as was the case with the iPad. The step up from 3GS [...]

iPhone: iOS4 has offered me nothing new!

So I won’t be getting an iPhone 4, but at least I have iSO4 to increase the usability of my iPhone 3GS, right? I dutifully downloaded it last night and ever since then I’ve been struggling to work out how the upgrade is benifitting me, and I can’t think of a single thing. My list [...]

iPhone: The iPhone 4 – Should I, Shouldn’t I & Will I?

When the new features were initially released for the iPhone 4 I was underwhelmed, and I was sure that it wasn’t much of a step up from the 3GS that I currently own. That was until I saw the following video: The masters of marketing have done it again, and produced a video that in [...]

iPhone: Completed Angry Birds!

I’ve never been very good at video games and as such I’ve never dedicated much time to playing them. As easy as some people might say it is, my sense of fulfillment at completing Angry Birds is pretty high right now! Some levels were easy and some needed many, many attempts before I was able [...]

Tech: My iPad Killer Died – The Life and Death of an Eken M001 Slatedroid

Do I want an Ipad? Well, I did, until I tried one. I had a play with an iPad in the Cambridge Apple Store 10 days ago and unexplainably it made me feel dizzy! Only a second play will confirm whether my eyes have an aversion to the iPad screen or whether I was having [...]

iPhone: Angry Birds – the definition of addiction!

I’ve had my iPhone 3GS for almost a year, and never being much of a gamer I’ve not downloaded many game apps, aside from Solitaire, Bejeweled 2 and Coin Dozer – all offering varying levels of addiction! Yesterday a friend visited (he’s one half of the duo that present the Women of Wrestling Podcast) and [...]
