Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7: Tablets for titchy palms
It seemed everyone thought a lot of the original Galaxy Tablet when it first came out; there were even (shush) whispers that it might have been a device to at least offer some faint resistance to the iPad World Takeover. Unfortunately it was blighted by the fact it only ran Android 2.2 which was really designed for handsets, thus the Tab 7 quickly looked dated. Fortunately, the whizz-kids in the…
The HTC Titan and HTC Radar – Taking multi-tasking smartphones to new heights
HTC has announced two new models to its collection of smartphones – the HTC Titan and the HTC Radar, which have been marketed at various technology events around Europe simultaneously. Despite sporting a huge 4.7” touch LCD screen – HTC’s largest thus far -, the HTC Titan is just 9.9mm thick, leading HTC to boldly pronounce its new handset is being ‘unlike anything you’ve ever held before’. Whilst the slightly…
New term – new iPad ideas
I had a bit of a laugh to myself when I saw a press release about going back to school and iPads. How many kids have iPads, I thought? After all, I’m a consumer technology writer and I don’t have one (that is a big hint, if any Apple PR people are reading!), so surely kids don’t have them? Okay, well now I have to eat my words, after a…
Proporta’s four ‘Back to School Essentials’ – Essential or superfluous?
Corresponding with the GCSE results day, the British iPad and iPhone accessories specialists, Proporta announced a new range of Back to School products for the iPhone 4 and HTC Sensation. In our gadget-obsessed society, the kids of today have a lot more to worry about than merely being seen with the right pair of trainers. iPad, iPhone and MacBook cases have the power to influence the esteem of kids in…
Case-Mate Colourways iPhone case: Hot colour blocking for smartphones
You can’t accuse the folks over at Case-mate of slacking in the iPhone case department. Hot on the heels of the Barely There and the Kayla Clutch, which we had a look at here and here and the ridiculously expensive limited edition Titanium case, which we had a sneak peak of here comes the Colourways case – the newest addition to their Constructibles Collection. A complement to the Quartet and…
New iPad 2 keyboard cases
Like Oliver Twist, the iPad has been a runaway success and has slowly helped transition the consumer tech industry towards the post-PC era. People laughed when the iPad was announced (I took a break from the internet for a few days as the venom spat on Twitter and comment threads was insane) but it’s hard to dismiss a device that’s shifted 30 million units and created it’s own little industry…
Casemate Barely There range for Samsung Galaxy II and iPhone 4
If you’re tired of reading endless iPhone case reviews and wondering why your Samsung Galaxy S doesn’t get more love than look no further (well look no further than halfway through this article – I’ve snuck an iPhone 4 case review in at the end as well. Also maybe try not reading reviews for cases of phones you don’t own). We’ve looked at a few casemate releases recently – battery…
Pierre Cardin tablet review
In the technology industry, true beauty has always lay beneath the surface. There’s just no point in having something that looks nice if it doesn’t do anything – that’s an ornament, not a gadget. Enter the Pierre Cardin Tablet. Does fashion-consciousness cost the tablet usability? Read on. Firstly – it looks nice. Well, it looks like an iPad, with a few more ports in the side and a big ring…
STM Skinny iPad 2 case review
Leading Australian bag manufacturer, STM Bags got in on the hottest game in town the iPad 2 case market, with their newly released Skinny for the iPad 2. You might remember STM for their excellent tablet carrier case featured here or the laptop backpack we took a look at here. “We are super excited about the skinny”, noted STM co-founder Adina Jacobs. “As iPad users ourselves, we wanted to create…
Casemate Kayla clutch review
It seems products which multi-task are the way to go. The latest new case is from Casemate which acts as a wallet and phone holder. Why not have two of the important things together and save some space? Why has no one thought of this before? The Casemate Kayla clutch is functional as well as fashionable. The case is on the side of the wallet and unless is huge, it…
