[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 [...]

Tech: I cancelled my Kindle order, here’s why

Just 4 days ago I posted about having pre-ordered a Kindle 3, and just yesterday I cancelled that pre-order. But why, you ask? It’s the simple matter of me thinking I won’t actually get a great deal of use out if it and there are cheaper alternatives out there. This epiphany actually started in Waterstones [...]

Tech: I’ve pre-ordered a Kindle 3

As per the title of this post, I have indeed pre-ordered a Kindle 3. I went for the Wi-Fi version for £109 as I can’t envisage me needing a book so desperately that I can’t wait for a Wi-Fi connection – only time will tell if that’s a mistake. If I hadn’t dragged my heels [...]

Tech: Where is my Android Tablet? My Tablet Wish List.

One of the very first posts on this blog (read here) was about my unfortunate experience with an Eken M001 Slatedroid, but at least I got my money back, plus the shipping costs to send it back. Since then I’ve heard quite a few rumblings about company’s developing supposed iPad killers/competitors but still there is [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
