Doro: Accessible mobile phones for the elderly
Latest Gadgets had a little bit of a sit down chat over olives with Doro MD Chris Millington about their new range of accessible mobile phones. There are few things more sexy in the tech world than the Dieter Rams-a-riffic iPhone 4, with it’s shiny mix of metal and glass. Conversely, there are few things less sexy than a range of feature phones for the…
ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Tablet
Being as light as a feather, non-slip, scratch resistant and pump-proof, at last there is a robust and sturdy tablet designed for ‘real life’. And given the Eee Pad Transformer’s multitude of features and uses, nobody can accuse ASUS of not considering ‘life’s demands’, when designing this extraordinary and portable tablet. Although mentioning all of this highly sophisticated gadget’s functions and abilities would use up…
Viewsonic VPD31 3D box
3D is a subject that splits opinion more so than the shady goings on in Roswell, New Mexico in the 50s. When viewed at a cinema, and most importantly, on an iMax there’s no doubt about the merits of the tech, when we laid eye’s on Tron Legacy at our local iMax we were blown away – but where are all the 3D projectors? Well…
TC-Helicon’s VoiceTone H1, E1 and X1: Ear candy stomp boxes
When the term ‘eye candy’, an expression used to describe a good-looking guy or gal, was first introduced into modern language sometime back in the ‘noughties’, I remember feeling slightly repulsed by the ‘Americanism’ of the term. Referring to something that is pleasing to one’s senses as being ‘candy’ has not only propelled itself deeper into contemporary language but has also become a promotional language-tool…
MagicBox Ark iPod dock review
The MagicBox Ark floated into our offices this week, bringing with it two of every speaker (that’s bible-talk for stereo sound). This £40 iPhone/iPod dock pumps out eight watts, powered straight from the mains. It’s an incredibly affordable price, but does it sink or swim? Let’s get the good out of the way first: it’s compact – its small footprint doesn’t take up much self-room…

Ever wanted to punch something? Of course, here at LG towers we do not condone any sort of violence but I think we can call agree we need a bit release from the daily pressures of life. The Rage Gage is a light-hearted bit of fun with the aim of giving you a form of release. It is a little foam pad in a circle…

Samsonite’s new app clocks up the miles
Here’s a thought. Instead of just idly staring out of a window on your next trip thinking about all the things you could be doing instead of just sitting staring out of the window, you could be calculating what goodies you’ve earned as each mile passes by. Samsonite knows a thing or two about luggage. After all, it’s been producing high quality suitcases since 1910…
Nexus Silent Mouse SM-7000B: Phasing out the mouse click
It wasn’t until I read about the Nexus Silent Mouse SM-7000B that I realised how annoying the ‘clicking’ noise a mouse makes is. In fact I wish I had never read about this innovatory gadget, as now every time I use my mouse I am conscious of the noise it makes, whilst prior to reading the Nexus press release I hadn’t even thought about a…
Samsung SPF-1000P digital photoframe review
Being the nation’s least wanted gift item, digital photoframes (or makers of the rather) are in a odd position. Do they simply give up? Or innovate their pants off? Nix who we looked at earlier and Samsung have decided to throw technology at the problem and released feature-packed digital photoframes. To even call the 1000p a digital photoframe seems to be doing it a disservice,…
Pioneer AVH-3300BT in-car entertainment system: Busting the boredom of car journeys
“Mum are we there yet?”, “Dad I need the toilet!”, “I feel sick going round these windy bends!” It’s an unfortunate but well-known fact that children and long car journeys do not go well together, with the scenario of siblings starting to whinge, becoming restless and fighting, even before you have reached the motorway, being a common situation in most families embarking on a car…

Trulink Wireless USB to VGA review
I have … oooh six different set-top boxes under my TV, all claiming to pipe my content from my computer to my TV. And my TV has DLNA built in so counts as a seventh. “Why so many Shem?” you may very well ask, like pretty much anyone else who has entered my house. Well I have a lot of files on my network of…
The SMT-S7800 Freesat HD Personal Video Recorder –Redefining the face of TV viewing
My four-year-old son is a devoted ‘Cbeebies’ fan, who, like many children of the modern age, when told to go outside for some fresh air or to help Mummy and Daddy with an activity that does not involve being absorbed in the television, reluctantly and wearily pulls himself away from the screen. Although the days of hearing “But Mummy, Mr Maker is my favourite”, may…
iRig Mic review
Every other weeks comes a new app or accessory that helps the iPad scream “I’m a real boy.” From Pages at launch, to Garageband a year on there are a fair few apps that mail the tablet a serious contender for producing work on. The iPads (and tablets in general) are only useful for consuming content idea, which was much touted at launch could probably…
