Pioneer AppRadio’s new apps: Now there’s no excuse to run out of petrol!
Customising gadgets based on users’ preferences and habits really does seem to be the technological stonker finale of 2011. Pioneer’s innovative AppRadio was the first car stereo to develop a driver’s smartphone experience by bringing apps compatible to the iPhone 4/4S to their dashboard, a strength that led to the AppRadio being awarded a ‘European Imaging and Sound Association (EIMSA) award. Intent on upgraded its award-winning device, Pioneer has unveiled…
Tascam iM2 review: CD quality recording comes to the iPhone
One of the best things about iPhones and by extension all smartphones, is the amount of amazing things they put in your pocket. The humble mobile phone was transformed into swiss army knife – at a moment’s notice it was a games console in your pocket, a camera in your pocket replete with editing and uploading abilities or a pocket music studio, where multi-track recording and effects processing, once expensive…
App will Lookout for your mobile phone data
I do wonder sometimes about the information that comes out of surveys For instance, a recent survey revealed that mobile phones are considered more important than cars by many users. Aside from the fact that I fail to see how even the smartest of smartphones could have got me to the station this morning, the folk at Lookout Mobile Security, which commissioned the survey were actually trying to make a salient point….

Kids’ favourites appearing on an iPhone (iPad and ipod touch) near you
It’s amazing how quickly little ones work out how to use a smartphone – but you can use this to your advantage if you find yourself on a longer-than-expected car or train journey, or waiting in a long queue. So it’s great that there are so many apps out there aimed at little ones. Two recent launches features a couple of very popular characters – Postman Pat and the My…
Big Lens: DSLR effects on your iPhone?
Claim. There. That’s pretty bold claim isn’t it? But it still doesn’t come close to the new iPhone app Big Lens’ claim to turn your iPhone into a professtional SLR camera. There are some professional SLR cameras that can’t make that claim. So I had to give Big Lens a try. Big Lens (and everytime I say that in my head it comes out at Big Len’s) comes from Reallusion,…
iMaschine: A pocket MPC
It’s an MPC in your pocket! If that sentence doesn’t excite you then I’m guessing you’ve not had to lug one of Akai’s legendary beatmaking devices across town in a backpack. We’ve already mentioned Native Instruments’ impressive feat of cramming years of beat-making goodness into the now classic Maschine, then squeezing things even further into the recently released and positively dinky Maschine Mikro. Taking things that one step further however,…
