Guess who's more interested in her Blackberry than her boyfriend?

Who's this lovely lady who appears to be waaay more into her Blackberry than her boyfriend? She's been in the media *a lot* this week and it's not been good news. I won't make it too obvious (all it takes is two words), but all I will say is it involves a bit of domestics…

Medion succumbs to Hello Kitty mania with a limited edition laptop

Hello Kitty Hell won't like this. Miss Kitty's quest into mainstream gadgetry continues with this Medion limited edition Hello Kitty mini notebook - the S1211. And for a change, it's available in the UK as opposed to Japan only, with no word of a European release. So for those of you who have shed a…

The Lego phone reaches out to your inner child

Testament to the theory that 2009 could be the year of kid-tastic gadgetry, is yet *another* plastic-y piece of gadgetry that wouldn't look out of place on a shelf full of Fisher Price toys. Understandably, it's aimed at the kidults who're in need of a bit of nostalgia - or the kids. I mean, who…

How would you feel if you got this card tomorrow?

This card is pretty cool and quirky but if this was handed to me with a long stemmed rose I think it might get rammed down the presenters throat. Hmm. You can get them personalized though, so there are probably worse options, such as 'I love you more than my ex...' Get one from Etsy…

Samsung toughs it out with the B2700 shock proof mobile

Despite what people think, mobiles are delicate creatures. They need to be caressed, cosseted, and handled with care, and random drunk evenings flushing them down the toilet simply aren't good enough. Well Samsung have decided they want to help us preserve our mobiles, and have released the B2700, a ruggedized candybar phone which they claim…

Blue Earth: Samsung's fusion of solar power and touchscreen goodness

Understandably, news of a solar powered touchscreen phone from Samsung was met with high levels of scepticism. But it's not April Fools Day - it's not even close, so why was my initial reaction that someone is yanking our chain? I'll tell you why. It's because, let's face it, an energy efficient, solar powered touchscreen…

Swarovski's Bluetooth headset invites muggers to fondle your ears

Bluetooth headsets don't normally make me smile, so the fact that this blinged out piece of ear jewellery elicited an eyebrow raise was enough to make me share it with you guys. You're looking at a LG/Swarovski mash up that clips to your ear to offer you the usual wireless free sound. But in the…

Swarovski brings the bling to Bose

Nothing says 'I am a serious music fan' like decking your headphones out in rose coloured Swarovski crystals, right? Having said that, they're perfect if you're one of the new DJ elite (you know - the kind who's first job is as a modelactresswhatever, but somehow seem to have convinced someone to make a mix…

Five announcements I'm hoping for at MWC

Mobile World Congress is here again, and geeksters worldwide are anxiously counting down the days to see what's new on the mobile scene. I'm very excited- in fact I have even been judging one of the categories, but that doesn't mean I'm any closer to predicting what we'll hear when we're there. Already we've been…

NJOY's electronic fags for part time puffers

The NJOY electronic cigarette, like all the e-cigarettes before it, puts two fingers up to the smoking ban (notice the use of the pint to emphasise you can smoke indoors). Dubbed 'The Weekender', this electronic ciggie is aimed at the social or part-time smokers (you know, the one's who spark up after a few hours…
