FREETALK Connect•Me Home Phone Adapter
It’s good to talk. And it’s great to talk for free. However the magic of VoIP (which lest we forget, has been with us for many many years now) still eludes some people. For many it’s a location thing. You use a phone as a phone, sat whereever you feel like (curled up on the sofa or even in the bath) and have a nice long natter. The PC (or…
New Drobo/Pogoplug collaboration: A seamless hybrid cloud solution
There is no escaping the fact that as our reliance on gadgets to execute work duties, be entertained and stay connected with people grows, so do our files and data, and whilst I have so far managed to avoid buying a ‘cloud data solution’, with so many files and data stored in my computers that I am actually causing them to run at probably a tenth of their potential efficiency,…

Buffalo MiniStation: Portable hard-as-nails drive

Seagate GoFlex Cinema: Helping your TV multitask
The TV seems to be the focus for many a technology company at the moment, and Seagate is the latest to turn its attention on the old gogglebox as a means for watching not only EastEnders and endless repeats, but also for all your digital multimedia content. I guess it makes sense to bring all your entertainment into one space and make the whole experience more sociable, rather than sitting…
Don’t put a lid on it – Freecom’s USB DataBar
I know it’s my own fault, but I’m forever losing the caps of USB sticks. Admittedly, most of them have been freebies from PR companies, courses or various seminars, which is probably why I don’t take care of them. And, of course it’s my own fault that they get gunked up with biscuit crumbs, sticky sweets and the rest of the detritus that seems to lurk at the bottom of…
LG Smartscan, Microsoft Touch, Apple Magic and MX 1100 – Possibly the world’s niftiest mice!
A mouse with an integrated scanner – wow! Now that’s what we call a dandy gadget! Looking inconspicuously like your bog standard mouse, it isn’t until you press a small button on the side of the mouse that it jumps into doubled-edged action when its integrated scanner is activated. Being able to swipe and scan content and then send it directly on to your computer in real time, means the…
Spending a week with a 3 Huawei E586 MiFi
When pressed for my favourite gadgets, there’s a battle for first, second and third between the obvious choices of my iPhone, iPad and Native Instruments Maschine. Unjustly overlooked however, is my Huawei MiFi dongle, which is packed into my manbag at all times. The ability to generate a wireless network in your pocket is semi-magical and a sure-fire way to become popular at parties. So I was delighted to hear…
HP TouchSmart 520: Family friendly All-In-One
HP officially released news of the TouchSmart 520, its updated redesign of the previous TouchSmart all-in-one devices, and a stylish attempt at providing a family-friendly machine primarily used for entertainment within the home. As the worlds leading producer of Windows using machines it would appear to be well placed to position itself as the main opposition to the iMac as the all-singin’, game-playin,’ youtube-blarin’ machine that’ll be just as loved…
