TWIG: Three’s Human Hotspots, Chilli WatchCam and LG’s NetCast
The Week in Gadgets If you see one of these dudes in the streets, sidle up to them, they’ll probably have something you’ll find useful – wifi. The ‘Human Hotspots’ will use Three’s MiFi®, which uses Three’s 3G network to create a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot. I own a MiFi (I went out and bought one … well it was online so I stayed in and…
HTC Wildfire review: Slow and unsteady loses the smartphone race
I entered my HTC Wildfire experience with an open mind. Android is a noble warrior. It’s battled against the iPhone monopoly, offering perhaps the only other fully-featured smartphone operating system. On a high-end phone, like the HTC Desire, the powerful internal specifications make Android fly. Unfortunately, that’s not true of the Wildfire. It’s sluggish, everywhere. FriendStream is slow. Scrolling is clunky. Multi-touch sometimes feels random….
TWIG: RailEasy app, Bookbox eReader, Totes Smartouch
Have a smartphone? Take the train? Get the RailEasy app. I’m very tempted to leave it there making this the shortest review in these pages, but I suppose I should go into a little more detail. RailEasy is a train times and (crucially) booking app from independent online train ticket retailer RailEasy. The in-app purchasing is what makes RailEasy stand out from other train apps…
HTC HD7 Windows 7 phone review: Surprisingly pretty
HTC called earlier this week: they thought we might like a HD7 smartphone. We scoffed. They sent us one anyway. After about ten seconds, we realised we’d been fools. If you’ll forgive our past indiscretion, we’d like to tell you why the HD7 and Windows Phone 7 are the most exciting mobile innovations in a long time. The first thing you’ll notice is the huge…
T-Mobile Vibe Mobile – Simple, cheap and social media friendly
Following the success of the T-Mobile Vairy Touch series, ZTE have announced the launch of the T-Mobile Vibe. Part of the Vairy Touch series popularity was because they provided a pay-as-you-go mobile with mobile broadband and email at an extremely reasonable price. Being available for just £39.99, the T-Mobile Vibe is obviously continuing ZTE’s promise to provide inexpensive handsets. But will the Vibe exceed its…
Fnacbook eReader: Kindle and Sony eReader’s secret lovechild?
If you think it’s a two-horse eReader race, you clearly haven’t been reading widely enough. Or in French. The Fnacbook Touch is a new eReader from France’s bigger bookstore chain, aiming to out-do the Kindle and the Sony Reader. If you’ve been paying attention to the current eReader giants, you’ll notice some similarities with the Fnacbook. There’s the six-inch E-Ink screen. Wi-fi. 3G. And touchscreen…

After the excitement of the launch of Windows Phone 7 and the iPad this year, there’s another development about to hit the technology market – and this time there’s nothing mobile about it. Binatone has launched the first Android-powered home phone – the iHomePhone. The device will use the landline allow consumers to surf the net (through an existing broadband connection), chat to friends, listen…
Samsung’s second wave of smartphones – but will it exceed the first?
Samsung looks set to send a ripple in the tide of the smartphone market when it releases three new Bada OS mobiles next month. At least that is what the South Korean electronic manufacturing giants will have you believe. But is Samsung’s ‘new wave’ of smartphones really any different from the ‘old wave’? Like the original Samsung Wave – which was the first phone to…

Halloween may have gone, but now that you’re at our door we’ve got some scary statistics to share: a mobile phone is stolen every 12 seconds in the UK, while over 50,000 phones are left in the back of London taxis each year. The real trick, however, is when people use the data on stolen phones for nefarious purposes. So what’s the treat-ment? BlackBelt Smartphone…

Samsung Galaxy Tab review roundup
There are now two quality tablets on the market – the ageing iPad and the new Samsung Galaxy Tablet. The Galaxy is smaller, lighter and faster, but does that make it better?

Ted Baker, teamed up with accessory veterans Proporta, have crafted a selection of…
