BlackBerry Storm 9500: BlackBerry SmartPhone

2008-11-11T18:09:00.005Z

BlackBerry Storm: Touchscreen Smartphone

The new BlackBerry Storm is the latest mobile phone from BlackBerry and the Storm is also BlackBerry's first touchscreen mobile phone. The Storm, with its slick candy bar style looks is also one of the best looking BlackBerry's and is most definitely not eye diarrhoea to look at.

The BlackBerry Storm features a fantastic high-resolution screen and an incredibly innovative multi-touch UI. The Storm's touchscreen features what BlackBerry call ClickThrough, whats this means is that you have to press down until you hear a click for it to work so in theory the BlackBerry Storm's screen is just one big button, cool!

Other features of the BlackBerry Storm include a built-in GPS system, media player, 3.2MP camera, BlackBerry maps, a 3.5mm audio jack and a memory capacity that can go up to 16GB. One thing that is for sure is that the BlackBerry Storm is a media and entertainment friendly mobile phone.

As for internet access the BlackBerry Storm has, EDGE, GPRS and HSDPA for super fast internet so you can get quick, no fuss access to site such as MySpace, Bebo and Facebook as well as all important fast Email access.

The term "iPhone Killer" gets thrown around rather hastily so we're not going to call it that but what we will say is that the BlackBerry Storm is unquestionably a high quality mobile phone and is great value for money.

Spykee Spy Robot

2008-11-04T19:52:00.002Z

Meccano Spykee Spy Robot

The Spykee Robot is the kind of thing i used to dream about when i was a kid. I'm not going to beat around the bush here, I'm just going to spit out exactly what Spykee is... Spykee is a Spy Robot equipped with a camera, microphone and WiFi which allows you to use your computer to control this little CCTV robot from absolutely anywhere!

Spykee can detect movements using his built-in motion detector, can sound an alarm on your PC and get this... he can even send you a snap of your target!

Spykee is made by Meccano so naturally, you get the opportunity to build him yourself (which is very simple). Once you have got him put together you can send him on a "mission" where he will listen, watch and let you talk to people using his microphone.

Amazingly Spykee is compatible with Skype so you can even use him as a webcam and talk over the internet or with his speaker and you can play all your favourite tunes through him aswell.

When Spykee gets tired (runs out of battery) he will automatically travel back to his docking station for 40 winks, completely on his own!

This truly is an amazing piece of technology and definitely not something you will want to miss out on. It really is quite breath-taking.

Pleo The Robotic Dinosaur

2008-11-04T12:22:00.009Z

Pleo: A Toy robot, pet or is he both?

So what is Pleo? Well he is a robotic toy dinosaur, a Camarasaurus to be exact but he is more like a pet than a toy.

When you first recieve your Pleo you will have to nurture him and treat him well from his hatching stage to his juvenile stage. Pleo feels hunger and fatigue - offset by powerful urges to explore and be nurtured. He'll graze, nap and waddle about on his own - when he feels like it! Pleo dinosaur can change his mind and his mood, just as you do.

Pleo is tremendously interactive and every single Pleo is unique, as this robotic dinosaur grows older it will develop its own personality, moods & habits. UGobe have done tremendously well with this toy but once you get it, it’s upto you to create Pleo’s future.

If you are sick to the back teeth of replacing dead fish or bored silly with lazy hamsters and rabbits that sleep all day, go for a different type of pet, a completely unique pet, go for a robotic pet, go for a Pleo and spend the rest of your days caring for and loving this adorable little creature.

UK Man Gets PS3 Tattoo On His Arm

2008-03-12T15:18:00.004Z

Dear oh dear oh dear. There are few things in life that give me more pleasure than a long button-bashing session on my favourite console and as much as i say that i love it, it doesn't mean that i am literally IN love with my gaming console, i mean, i wouldn't do anything rash like go up a dark alley and into a dingy tattoo parlour and get Xbox 360, Wii or PS3 encrypted on my skin but neither would anyone else would they? You'd have to be pretty brainless wouldn't you?

Well sadly, a UK PS3 addict has gone out and done exactly what i just said nobody would ever be stupid enough to do, well not exactly, i don't know about the dark alley and all that but lets just take this opportunity to stereotype tattoo... artists, if that's what you call them and add a bit of imagination to this idiots story. Apparently getting those particular three big black letters scored into his arm forever is a "Worlds First. Usually a worlds first is an achievement but I'm pretty sure there is a different reason why this is a worlds first and i don't think i need to state what it is, you already know. Lets just hope it is a "World's Last" aswell.

The guy, known as Mobiletone, a regular commenter on Sony's semi-official Threespeech blog site, said after getting it done:

‘How much do I love my console? I guess this video says it all. It’s been nearly a year since the PAL UK launch of the console and I decided to get this tattoo done in honour of what I consider the best console ever made. Love gaming, love women and love life.’

Yes you did read "I guess this video says it all" right, there is a video and you can see it below, although it is completely pointless. So Mobiletone may now be "Britain's Most Pointless Man" but lets not bash him too much more. He has definitely made me laugh today and I'm sure I'm not the only one so i salute him for that. Some say laughter is the most powerful aphrodisiac but if i were Mobiletone I'd be sure to stick to long sleeve shirts if out trying with the ladies from now on.

It's Official! The Death Of HD-DVD

2008-02-19T18:02:00.004Z

It is finally over, the fat lady is singing!

The inevitable has finally happened. Toshiba have cancelled their HD-DVD format and put an end to the Hi-Def war with its rival Sonys Blu-Ray... thank god! After two years of spatting, boring us consumers to death and just being annoying in general, Toshiba have finally raised the white flag and conceded that the fat lady is in fact singing.

Toshiba have now officially pulled the HD-DVD plug and will cease production of all its HD-DVD players, discs and accesories by March 2008. This is a blow for the early adopters of the HD-DVD format and i suppose i do sort of feel sorry for them but in all honesty you should really know by now not to jump the gun when these type of spats between rival companies are ongoing, unless you buy both!

If you are one of those who has been sitting on the fence and waiting for a winner to be announced, it is now time for you to go out and treat yourself to a Blu-Ray player. Hopefully now that Blu-Ray is the sole provider of Hi-Def material, the prices will come down. That was definitely one advantage HD-DVD had over its nemesis, prices!

The only thing that has really got me thinking from the death of HD-DVD is the little matter of the Xbox 360. Will we being seeing an Xbox 360 with a built-in Blu-Ray drive or will they be throwing another bloody add-on drive at us and if so, how long is it going to be before we see one? Why don't you give us your thoughts on the HD-DVD slaying and your Xbox ideas by leaving us a comment, we love to hear what you think.

N-Gage Gaming Platform Goes Live At Last

2008-02-05T14:16:00.000Z

They've certainly taken their time with their latest version of the gaming platform but Nokia are finally ready to unleash the new-G Nage upon the public.

The latest version of N-Gage was supposed to be ready to rock by the end of December last year but somewhow it has managed to take until February 08 to get it Live but who cares! it's here now! The N-Gage gaming platform will still only be available to users with a N81 handset so if you were like me and thinking the delay releasing N-Gage was down to prepping it for other Nokia handsets then welcome to the Deeply wrong and way off the mark gang.

N-Gage is available for download over at N-Gage First Access and there are currently three titles available to play, Space Impact: Kappa Base, System Rush: Evolution and Hooked On: Creatures of the deep. N81 users get over there now and get your N-Gage on!

O2 Announce Cheaper iPhone Tariffs For The UK

2008-01-29T18:06:00.000Z

The attitude towards the Apple iPhone here in the UK is kind of, "Well yeah, it's a cool phone and all, i get it, but how do i pay rent once I've bought one?" Well O2 have announced that from February 1st 2008 they are to offer improved tariff deals on the Apple iPhone, meaning that at long last the Apple iPhone might just be value for money.

The current iPhone Tariffs are at £35 a month, £45 a month and £55 a month. If you are on the £35 deal you will currently be getting 200 minutes and 200 texts. Now the minutes on the £35 a month deal have been tripled to 600 and the texts have been bolstered to 500. The £45 a month will now be the same as the current £55 a month deal giving you 1200 free minutes and 500 free texts while the £55 a month deal will be banished and be replaced with a £75 a month deal. All you guys out there on the £55 deal need not to worry though, you will not be forced into paying £75 a month, you will be put down to the £45 deal which will give you the same amount of minutes and texts that you were on already only you will be getting them for ten bucks less! The new £75 a month deal will give you a massive 3000 free minutes a month plus your 500 free texts of course.

The best part is that these new tariffs will apply to both new and existing customers. If it was O2's outrageous tariffs that were stopping you from investing in an iPhone before, you have no excuse now.

Toshiba slashes HD-DVD prices yet again!

Less than a week after Toshiba cut the price of their HD-EP30 player, they have slashed it again. This time they have chopped off another 30 quid taking it down to a lowly £150. But this is not the best part, wait for it... Amazon have chopped the price even more and the HD-EP30 player is now at an embarrassing £119.99 and yes, you still get the 7 free movie titles as well my movie obsessed friends.

AirMail - Manila Style Envelope For Macbook Air

2008-01-18T15:10:00.000Z

At Macworld Steve Jobs pulled out the Macbook Air from a standard-sized manila envelope, a move which left all Apple lovers watching, gasping for air. Even though it is only a couple of days after Macbook Air's unveiling, the accessories have already been made. Yes, two self-confessed Apple geeks have designed a laptop case resembling a manila envelope so you can pull your own version of the Steve Jobs move whenever you like.

The AirMail "envelope" is handmade out of durable upholstery-grade vinyl, lined with a fuzzy, soft fleece and is the same size as your run of the mill manila envelope. The geeks have said that AirMail is good enough to protect your Macbook Air from cosmetic damage, smudges and keep it safe from bumps in daily use. However it is not suitable for extreme circumstances, so it appearing in the next James Bond movie is highly unlikely.

For a £1200 laptop I'd prefer a case in the form of an Army Tank, soldier included rather than an envelope lined with "bum fluff" but for the pure fun of it, it would be 15 quid well spent. You can buy one right here.

Is This The Death Of HD-DVD? - Toshiba Slash HD-DVD Prices Again

2008-01-15T15:49:00.000Z

Last week the HD-DVD camp were dealt another blow in the HD-DVD/Blu-Ray war, actually, they were dealt more blows than Rocky Balboa and this time it doesn't look like Rocky will get back up (Yes, HD-DVD is Balboa in this cheap metaphor). After having to cancel its pitch at CES, movie studios Warner Bros and New Line Cinema jumping over to team Blu-Ray and Microsoft considering a Blu-Ray Xbox, i would be right in saying that it was a week that HD-DVD will want to forget. The question now is... "Is this the end for HD-DVD?" It certainly looks that way, Microsoft considering turning Blu has really got to sting but HD-DVD's egos and pride are far too great to just throw in the towel and they are going to fight to the death in true Rocky fashion.

The HD-DVD player top dogs are Toshiba and they have came out swinging, announcing some super sharp price cuts. Over in the US, entry level players HD-A3, HD-A30 with 1080p output and the high-end HD-A35 have now had their price tags slashed down to a clearance bin worthy $150 (£75), $200 (£100) and $300 (£150). The US are not the only ones offered HD-DVD bargains. Over here in the UK the Toshiba HD-EP30 (pictured) has had yet another price drop and is now down to a cool £180 plus you get 7 free HD-DVD titles, yes that's right, 7! Also in the U.S of A, Toshiba are starting a new huge ad campaign to try and get back in the hi-def fight, concentrating on HD-DVD prices and DVD-handling benefits.

Will this "fightback" work? Or are they just postponing the inevitable a little bit longer? I'll leave that for you to decide but at the end of the day, we are all getting bargains and that is music to anyone's ears.

If you would like to take up the Toshiba HD-EP30 plus 7 HD-DVD titles for £180 deal, it is only available at Amazon

Update: Toshiba HD-EP30 plus 7 Free titles now £119.99 at Amazon!

Samsung F490 Takes On iPhone And Hits The UK First

2008-01-11T15:59:00.000Z

Samsung are leading the charge from mobile producers in the "War against iPhone" by launching a brand new touchscreen mobile phone named the F490.

The F490 has a 3.2 inch screen with haptic-touch feedback which should be more than satisfactory for even the most critical of mobile phone pundits, an 11.8 mm chassis which is only .2 of a mm thicker than that of an iPhone so it is definitely not overweight and for Web uses it has HSDPA where it definitely tops the iPhone's average EDGE. Memory is a bit of a let down with only 130MB internal memory so you'll be thanking your lucky stars for MicroSD. An SD card is a must have or you'll quickly be running out of media opportunities.

The Samsung F490 is to be launched in the UK first in February which will be a very rare event when launched indeed but a price has not yet been set, be sure to check back for more news soon.

Sony Lay Down Mylo 2

2008-01-08T16:21:00.000Z

Everyone wants the web sitting right in their pocket nowadays, whether its from mobile phone or a handheld computer, you just have to have it. Sony's new answer to real quality pocket surfing is their new handheld computer... Mylo COM-2.

Mylo 2 is an extremely classy and very sexy device which boasts a 3.5in touch-screen which flips up to reveal a QWERTY keyboard, wi-fi, a 1.3mp camera, Skype, a backlit keyboard, 1GB of storage, email and instant messaging. Now that is a real quality piece of tech and you'd be mad to disagree. It also supports iPhone-style widgets, such as a very sharp Facebook monitoring app. Of course, it'll play music and movies from memory cards and, in the US, it'll connect to Wayporthotspots for free. Sweet!

A UK release date and price is yet to be confirmed but it has been launched in the US for $300.

Google To Launch A Wikipedia Of Its Own

2007-12-21T09:15:00.000Z

Captain of the ship that is the World Wide Web, Google, has announced they are about to release their own version of the user-submitted online encyclopedia, Wikipedia.

Google say that there are millions of people with useful knowledge worth sharing and there are billions more that could benefit from it but not everything is written because it is simply not easy enough to do it. I beg to differ, Wikipedia managed it easy enough, ok, its inconsistent, everything is not entirely accurate and half the content is most probably written by monkeys but it's simple to use at least. Bearing that in my mind, the point i think that Google are actually trying to make is that it is not easy enough for logical human-beings who actually have something sensible to write to get their article out there.

Googles "Knol" which stands for "a unit of knowledge" will be different from Wikipedia in a couple of ways. Knol is going to be much more author based so you will get recognition for what you've written with your name and picture and users will be able to rate content aswell as add comments, questions and edits. Google say they will not serve as an editor in any way, and will not bless any content. I just hope they have a consistent way of keeping out all the hogwash, otherwise it'll be no better than Wikipedia.

Google Knol is currently in testing and is invite-only but you can check out what a full page will look like here.

Creative Finally Give Us The 32GB Zen Flash Media Player

2007-12-20T14:30:00.000Z

Creative gives us the world's first 32GB Flash Media Player

MP3 player Grand Masters, Creative, have given everybody a bit of a shock by announcing the arrival of an absolute Everest of a device with their whopping new 32GB Flash Media Player. Talk that a 32GB Creative Zen was coming our way was flowing freely amongst Tech-Heads in recent times but Creative were always very rigid on the whole idea and constantly dismissed that such a device was in the making. It seems those cheeky Creative chappies just love a good wind-up.

The supposed "never gonna happen" player has been released in Asia this week and believe it or not... the UK! although stock is limited over here and when i say limited, i really mean LIMITED. I'm not talking a thousand or a couple of hundred here, it is more like... 50! So, if you want one get yourself over to Creative Labs pronto.

The Creative Zen 32GB has double the memory of the new iPod Touch, 4 times more than the iPhone and it has a SD/SDHC card slot so you can add even more! Despite all this its size is still that of a credit card, only, a little chubbier. The 32GB model will support file types WMA, MP3, AAC, WMV9, MJPEG, MPEG4, DivX and XviD and will display video at a 320x240 resolution. It also has other little treats such as a built in microphone and a built in FM radio, supplied software for converting formats and it will play stuff bought from iTunes. With a price of £284.99 it does look a little steep so all you need to ask yourself is "Is this too high a price for the worlds first 32GB flash media player?"

Nokia Re-launch N-Gage Gaming Platform This Week

2007-12-20T02:52:00.000Z

Nokia will be re-launching their gaming platform N-Gage this week much to the delight of the devoted Nokia N Series community… they have had to wait a while! But, it looks as though Nokia have kept their promise and it will be here before Christmas, even if they did leave it until the very last minute.

It’s not all grins and giggles though. Nokia N95 and Nokia N82 owners will have to turn those “beams of joy” upside down into “pouts of pain” because the only compatible phone until next year is the Nokia N81, so if you just can't wait and have to get a go of N-Gage now! i suggest you invest in a Nokia N81. Although you N81 owners are laughing your heads off right now, you may be brung down a peg or two by the fact that it will be a BETA service and only a few games will be available to start with. N95 and N82 owners may be able to seek a little solace in that.

Games available from release include The Sims 2 Pets, FIFA 08 and Brothers In Arms with highly anticipated detective game Dirk Spanner and the Fallen Idol set for 2008.

Sony Release New DivX Playback For PS3

2007-12-19T01:59:00.000Z

New PS3 Firmware Update

Sony have released their new firmware update v2.10 for the PS3 and along with DivX support there are a couple of other little treats that are sure to tickle your fancy.

The main feature included in the new update is undoubtedly the new DivX and VC-1 (WMV) file type compatibility. Now you can stream all your DivX stuff that is piling up on your PC through your PS3 without any fuss whatsoever. To add to the DivX news, the Blu-Ray Disc Profile has been upped a class to 1.1 which means picture-in-picture playback is now an option and that the PS3 keeps the tag of "Best Value Blu-Ray Player"

Aside from functional file types and new disc performances Sony have also blessed us with a new Voice Changer feature. The Voice Changer feature has been added to voice / video chat and will allow you to change the pitch and tone of your voice. So, if you want to voice your opinion like "Arnie" or giggle to your Star Wars loving chums like R2D2, you'll be there for hours experimenting with this new tool.

The Adidas Teamgeist II Football

2007-12-17T13:36:00.000Z

Adidas have decided that they have what it takes to take on the burden of sorting out football controversy and try and put an end to this beef on goal-line decisions. Their contribution to the football fracas is a new ball! Yep, just a ball, well... it's not just any ball.

The Teamgeist II is a brand new, state of the art football fitted with sensors that will judge whether the ball has crossed the line or not. The sensors are inside the ball and they work in conjunction with other sensors that are located around the pitch, which means that the balls exact location can be tracked at all times, thus being able to determine whether the ball crosses the line or doesn't cross the line. But how does the ref get the message? Does this magic new ball have speech capabilities too? Does it scream "Hoi! Ref! I'm out!". No...don't be silly. The ball will send a message over to the refs watch informing whether it is out or not, pretty cool huh?

The Teamgeist II ball was secretly tried out at the recent Club World Cup in Japan where it impressed the Fifa jury and it looks as though it is set to be used at the next Fifa World Cup in South Africa in 2010. With all the officials involved in the game nowadays, the ref himself, 2 linesmen and a 4th official, i still can't believe the job isn't done good enough and we need to employ a robotic-like football as a 5th official. Maybe Adidas should invent a ball that can handle all decisions in the game and issue the right colour of card aswell, what you think?

The Amazon Kindle eBook

2007-11-23T11:06:00.000Z

So you might have been hearing about Amazon's new eBook over the course of the week and wondering what the story with this thing actually is. Well the easiest way to think of it is... "an iPod for books"

Kindle is a portable eBook device that allows you to download reading pleasures such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, TIME, Atlantic Monthly and Forbes magazine. But, the main purpose is so that you can download books. You can access the Kindle Store via wireless connectivity which means whether you are sitting at home, on a train, bus or in a pub you can download a book. And, with around 88,000 novels including 100 of 112 current New York Times Best Sellers to choose from you won't be short of choice or quality. it is expected to hold around 200 titles at one time and best sellers will go for $9.99. You can also access over 250 top blogs from the worlds of business, technology, sports, entertainment, and politics.

Amazon say that you will be able to download a whole book onto Kindle in under 1 minute and unlike WiFi, Kindle will use the same high-speed data network (EVDO) as advanced cell phones—so you never have to locate a hotspot.The Amazon Kindle, priced at £200, sold out on its debut but they are back in stock for December 5th so you can get one before Christmas.
