Nokia's XpressMusic welcomes a new member to the fold

The 5630 was announced the week, and as the title gives away, it is an XpressMusic handset. What the title doesn't give away however, is how good the phone actually is. Now being a music based phone, this Symbian powered mobile comes bundled with a music player, dedicated music controls, Stereo Bluetooth, the all important…

Cassette purse is retro and geek chic at its finest

It's probably not at all far-fetched to say that substantial amounts of the music listening population are now all digital punters. Those still stuck in the 80s/90s using CDs or *gasp* cassette tapes probably have justifiable reasons for sticking with these old skool formats (I know I do - my car's audio options are cassette…

Yet another Cyber-shot and Walkman phone from Sony Ericsson

Sony Ericsson just keeps knocking them out don't they? Only this week, what could usually be mistaken as OCD, is actually Sony Ericsson doing their mobile phone duties for Mobile World Congress. And today, it's the C903 Cyber-shot phone and the W395 Walkman phone hogging the spotlight. We've already got hands on with the C902,…

USB hub caters to the needs of the portless

It's only a USB hub, but for some of us, USB ports are imperative tool to the daily workings of our lives. If USB hubs weren't thrown at me on a regular basis, making me look like some kind of strange port obsessed hub hoarder, I'd be on the lookout for something like this. Yes,…

Getting poked by your parents on Facebook = shock horror

It's getting more and more apparent as each day passes and worryingly, more of our parents are hitching a ride on (the very late) social networking bandwagon, and are signing up to Facebook in their droves.

Don a wig and head bang rock and roll style with Headbang Hero

Guitar Hero and its competitor Rock Band have been dominating the virtual music gaming world for quite some time. And it goes without saying these games are responsible for setting the standard in music based gaming. But, perhaps it's time for them to take a step down and let other virtual games enjoy the limelight…

Corrie (as in Coronation Street?) lands on the Nintendo DS

Ayup duck, word on't cobbled street is Coronation Street is being transformed into a game for Nintendo's little handheld. Are you as gobsmacked as I am? I'm not going to pretend I watch it, but I do know Corrie has had its fair share of affairs, sex changes, scandals, murderers and serial killers (it wouldn't…

LG's KM900 enters the Arena and it's 3D

We knew LG had a touchscreen phone/iPhone killer dubbed the Arena up its sleeves - what we didn't know was everything underneath the hood. A 5 megapixel camera (possibly a secondary one for video calls), GPS, WiFi and what LG is calling an "innovative S-Class 3D interface" was all the info we could get our…

Serenade your Valentine with Valentones

While some deeply and utterly romantic folk will without a shadow of a doubt go all out for Valentine's Day by serenading loved ones at night underneath bedroom windows with banjos/ukuleles/flutes/Linkin Park, you could get a little more media savvy by injecting a slice of modernism into your vocal declarations of love. Or alternatively, if…

iTunes now offers more than just Lost in 720p

So, Lost may have been the first programme on offer in the UK iTunes store for plenty of Josh Holloway in high definition (swoon), but it certainly wasn't the last. Joining what is arguable the best programme ever, comes a bunch of other high definition video content, which also come bundled with a standard definition…
