Spotalike: An easy way to find Spotify playlists you'll love
A new online recommendation tool called Spotalike lets you quickly and easily find Spotify playlists that'll suit you.

The best fashion phones: LG Chocolate, MotoJewel, Dior Reverie
Ever since mobile phones invaded our homes and became integral parts of our lives, there have always been 'fashion' handsets, which in some way, shape or form look a little more attractive than their plainer rivals. However, the disappointing thing about the fashion phone is that although it may look shiny, sleek and beautiful it…
I Don't Know How She Does It app makes you look like SJP. Great…
A new iPhone app released in tandem with Sarah Jessica Parker's new film, I Don't Know How She Does It, gives users detailed information about how to copy the famous actress' fashion sense.

SNEAK PEEK: Hands-on with the Bose SoundLink Mobile Speaker
In my eyes, Bose is all about the big, fancy speakers and headphones, the type of things I'll begin to think about when I'm a proper "grown up" and have money to throw away on pretentious electronics. But up until now they've always been put in the "out of my league box", along with designer…
Why brands are all over Instagram
For better or for worse (I actually think it is more the former than the latter) whenever something good happens online or as an app brands want to get involved. No self-respecting company now is without a Facebook or Twitter account and some have even dabbled with Tumblr and I bet it won't be long…
