Say hi to iTurtle the dancing terrapin
Aww, look at this little fella, it's so cute with its translucent shiny shell - it just makes you go "awww" with one fleeting look. This little terrapin, that's been given the over-used and ubiquitous 'i' affix in front of its name, will play your tunes, have a little boogie (move over iDog and iPenguin)…
Shiny Downtime!!! Find something else to do between 18:00 and 19:00 GMT!!!
Things you could do for an hour between 6pm and 7pm today: - Remind yourself of the cliffhanger from the last series of Lost - there's a new series starting tonight and I'd hate to think you were spending the first 20 minutes trying to remember who everyone is. - Bake a cinamon and apple…
Shiny at CES: At the gun range
And with this, we wrap up and talk about CES 2009. This is the last activity DanfromTechDigest partook in in Vegas. Being British, and not terribly gun savvy, there was much excitement to be had at The Gun Range.
Inject some style into your desk top with the Chain Lamp
Desks are very boring places, unless like me, you're a hoarder of tat and have a relatively interesting assortment of plush/plastic/metal toys on your desks and perhaps a few USB peripherals to help you through those tirelessly tedious moments. But other than the entertaining junk, that's got nothing to do with the progression of your…
TENGA: the sex egg for men [insert some kind of joke about beating and eggs here]
Poor The Men. Whilst we have sex toys that wouldn't look out of place on your mantelpiece, sex toys that can be programmed to hit your very personal spot and sex toys that you might accidentally mistake as for some kind of End of the World button, they have to put up with eggs. And…
iRiver SPINN gets a 2.0 update
When Dan took the iRiver SPINN for a test drive, the results were impressive. But as with any notable devices (and un-notable for that matter) there's always room for improvement. Design-wise there are no changes, but its sleek and sexy design didn't really need a design overhaul did it? It's the software that's had a…
The iPhone applications I can't live without
I am more than willing to challenge any iPhone hater to a duel, such is my love for the phone. The applications make what is otherwise a pretty expensive call maker into something so essential to day-to-day life, the thought of going back to a Nokia makes me break out in hives. Hives in the…
Sanyo wows the crowds with its Xacti camera range
The Sanyo Xacti camcorder range welcomes five new colourful members to the compact video capturing team today. And much like the seven dwarfs, the new camcorders have equally descriptive nicknames (that have been totally made up) - Slim, Watertight, Waterproof and Horizontal and the very cool HD. But which one is which? Let's take a…
ED-E takes the MechRC robot into a learning direction
Not so long ago we told you all about the MechRC robot from IWOOT, which illustrated quite how ingenious robot designers can be, with a variety of customizable moves. Well they've now added the friendly looking Ed-E to their stable. It's great to be able to make your MechRC robot dance and all, as there…
WeFi knows all the WiFi hotspots
Fed up of uttering the words "excuse me, is there WiFi in here?" or meticulously studying the walls of your favourite coffee shop or eateries for a 'we have WiFi' sign? It's annoying to say the least, but WeFi has a solution with a bunch of new services that have recently been rolled out to…
