If you’re one of those website owners who never checks their website logs, here’s one good reason why you should – you just may find some strange new devices with never-seen-before operating systems crawling through your website. Take for example the screenshot above taken by the guys at BGR. It shows a device running Android [...]

One of my Twitter followers, @fastfx, sent me this link this morning to what appeared to be a leaked commercial for the next version of the iPhone. The first 40 seconds or so looked legit with emphasis on what looked to be a slimmer design and utilisation of the full screen i.e. no phone speaker [...]

This afternoon a co-worker saw my Telstra NextG 21Mbps USB Stick pertruding out of my Dell XPS Laptop. Keen to see how close it got to the maximum theoretical download speed so blatantly displayed on the device, he asked me to jump onto Speedtest.net. What is Speedtest.net? For those who haven’t tried Speedtest.net before, it’s [...]

The Samsung Omnia II (i8000) is now available at Verizon in the United States and it’s a beauty. Major features that I like are its 3.7″ AMOLED screen, 5 Megapixel digital camera with editing capabilities on board and the snappy Opera 9.5 internet browser. Samsung were on a winning formula with the first Omnia, so [...]

A few weeks ago, I blogged about my new Canon G11 and how ridiculously feature-packed this non-SLR digital camera was. My friend @ed_dale on Twitter suggested that the Canon S90 was a better-buy due to its more slimmer size while having similar optics. I personally prefer the Canon G11 due to the physical dials for [...]

While the basic idea of this Solar Powered Beanie is applaudable, I don’t think that it’s the best application of solar panels in clothing. A German designer has embedded stylish-cut solar panels into hats and gloves to create green-wear. The above photo is an example of his handiwork – notice how the panels are shaped [...]

One handy feature on the iPhone that isn’t available on Blackberrrys by default is threaded SMS – it allows you to view SMS messages in chronological order between sender and recipient on the one screen.  Great news! Now it’s possible to achieve this on the Blackberry with the Empower Threaded SMS App. Now instead of [...]
