Hmmm, ranty blog post time.
So Apple have finally got around to sorting out the features (copy-and-paste/MMS) that other phones have had for years.   Looking forward to adverts and fanboys proclaiming this as the 3rd coming of the iPhone and acting like they invented these features.
Yes I’m bitter.  Why?  Because the iPod Touch users are getting [...]

I downloaded the Wordpress app for my iPod Touch a while ago, but I’ve never gotten around to testing it out.
So here we are. A bit of a pointless post, granted. But this app does seem like a nice way of blogging on the move. I especially imagine it’d be useful at conferences and [...]

Since getting my iPod Touch, I’ve been enjoying using the calendar application to try and be a bit more organised (I’m great at double and triple-booking myself).
However, the issue I’ve been having problems with is regarding syncing. While I like the iPod’s calendar, it’ll only sync with Outlook. And I don’t have MS [...]

Well, Apple put the Application Store for iPhone/iPod Touch live yesterday as part of the iTunes 7.7 update.
Its a heck of a strong launch for them.  Although the initial aim had been to have 200 applications available at launch, the store actually has over 500, spanning multiple categories, and with a healthy amount of free [...]

I’ve been using my iPod Touch for a good few weeks now, and with the v2 software due out imminently, I thought it’d be interesting to put together a wishlist for what kind of things I’d like to see, that haven’t already been mentioned.

Better home screen customisation.  Currently, while you can re-order items on the [...]

Well its been a good couple of days for gadgets. I’m now the proud owner of both an EeePC and an iPod Touch.
The EeePC (which I’m typing this on) is a great little gadget, but it suffers from the problems with my wifi that I’ve had with Linux on my other laptop. Linux [...]

Ok, its half 1 in the morning, and I’m knackered.
I’ve now got my Windows system pretty much usable again. I had to spend all afternoon going through my iTunes library, removing dud duplicates it created when reimporting my (sadly several months old and missing stuff) backup though. And I’m still bitter about [...]

And as if by magic, last night Apple issued a new iPhone (meh), and the new 32Gb iPod Touch.
£330 though. Ouch.
Still, I reckon that’s the one I’ll be going for later in the year. While cripplingly expensive, the 32Gb should give me ample space for my mp3s, podcasts and videos. And not [...]

I’m a self-confessed gadget-lover, and every day at the moment I find my list of “stuff to buy when I have money” is growing.
Aside from the ever-present desire to get a nice TFT monitor to replace my aging (but going strong) 17″ CRT Samsung, I’ve got my resolute vow that this year I’m getting an [...]

Well, I’m going to get some stick for this, but I caved the other day and bought an iPod.
Traditionally I’ve always tried to keep up a teasing air about the Apple vs PC thing. My main actual beef has always been that they get away with stuff that MS are frequently hauled over the [...]
