Shiny Review: Panasonic Lumix DMC G1
Dan got his hands on his first Micro Four Thirds, which is designed to feature all the specs of a SLR camera with a much more compact design. What it features in features, it terrifies in the number of buttons they've managed to pack on the body of the camera. £489 here
Gmail is down
Panic not, readers! It's not you, it's Gmail. It's broken, and apparently, it's due to 'a fault', which is reassuring. So far on Twitter we've seen mass hysteria, as people realise they have no way of doing anything at all today, as they've accidentally stored their entire life on Google. Should we perhaps take this…
Is LG's GD910 watch phone really worth £1,000?
£1,000 for a glorified watch? Really? Spec-wise, it does pack quite a lot into its petite frame, like voice calling, text to speech and stereo Bluetooth and actually gives a few mobiles out there a run for their money. But £1,000... really? So, if you were thinking about (and quite looking forward to) fulfilling that…
Samsung AMOLED screen becomes a camera reality on the WB550
Samsung has achieved the improbable and has placed a 3 inch AMOLED screen on its latest camera. This means you'll have crystal clear images to look at, and it should also add quality to your shooting as you'll have a clearer idea of how the snaps will turn out. And if that's not impressive enough,…
Dry your hands (or your bra) on a pair of bewbs
Drying your hands can be such a boring task. But how on earth do you make drying hands as interesting as say, reading a magazine while depositing a number two (sorry)? Well seeing as the McWash is no longer in action (when did that happen btw?) and the novelty of Dyson's super cool hand dryers…
Spotify + iPhone = awesome >>>> never going to happen
The good news: this is awesome. The bad: you'll probably never see it in the wild. Spotify has become a firm favourite with music streamers, offering a massive catalogue of songs and albums, as well as the ability to share playlists with other users. Imagine having access to all that on your iPhone - it…
Catch the One Penny Post
Emails are quick, cheap and efficient, but actualmailthat'snotbillsorjunkmail will bring a warm glow to all that receive it. But why should your postcards be restricted to pictures of Big Ben, Cotswold tea rooms and Princess Di? They shouldn't - you should have the chance to thoroughly embarrass the postman by choosing complete inappropriate subject matter…
USB drive… steampunk style
It may look like an oxidised piece of metal that'll make your hand smell, but if you can avert your eyes from its rusty outer shell for just a moment, you'll notice the little connector rearing its shiny head, moving its status from horrible rusty thing to USB drive. But clearly you're looking because you…
The Eco charger: charge your phone, save the planet
Here's a bit of electrical trivia for you. You may think that leaving your mobile phone charger plugged in isn't doing much harm or couldn't possibly be the cause for your annoyingly high leccy bill, but you'd be WRONG. Did you know that being unkind to the environment and leaving your charger plugged in, wastes…

Music on the move gets made that little bit simpler with the Octopus, a streaming device that allows you to enjoy hands free music. The Octopus is a Bluetooth device from Tattu Mobile that gives users hands free calling and music at the same time, with a helpful cut off switch for when a call…
