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…
The Moshi Moshi 05 mobile handset. Now you’re talking!
Since when did handsets go designer? In age when traditional telephone handsets are looked upon with scorn by the wearers of small sleek earphones with mikes; (you know the sort; they walk along the street apparently talking to themselves) along comes a designer with a new range of traditional handsets for mobile phones that are set to buck the trend. The art of conversation is dead according to Native Union;…
Logitech C510 HD webcam review
Video calling is one of those “futuristic” technologies that seemed to have snuck into modern life and passed by without much hoo-hah. Despite its obvious advantages – with so much communication being non-verbal – I still get the majority of my calls over the phone or communicate via email. This could be for a number of reasons: circumstances, convenience, my ridiculous beard. However I’m also guessing that the low quality…
Dell XPS laptop range: 3D, HD and Skype enabled machines
Reading through Dell’s new XPS laptops press release, although one is impressed with the promise of High Definition NVIDIA graphics and the ability to watch “eye-popping” 3D games, movies and videos on large screen 3D televisions, not much really jumped out of the description over the other many press releases about new HD laptops flooding technology critics inboxes at present. Until, that is, the words ‘the industry’s first’ leapt out…

The week in gadgets. Ever been caught short without a boombox? I know you have. What you need is AudioVibe, a portable widget that allows you to produce sound, utilising vibrations and nearby objects. Hollow box-like objects are obviously best but there is a certain amount of fun that can be had from experimenting with other interestingly shaped objects – and I can imagine children (or playfully inclined adults) having…
Beauty is in the eye of the ZTE-holder: The new ZTE F930
Fancy a mobile phone that will enable you to access your mail, Facebook and Twitter accounts but don’t feel like dropping hundreds of pounds of waiting hours and hours in queues for shiny new iPhones? Well thanks to a new handset collaboration between ZTE and 3 you may not have to. ZTE and 3 invited us down to have a play with the F930 and to talk a little about…
HD video calling comes to Skype
Skype is my Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) client of choice. Relatively stable with cross platform support, solid audio calling options and a less garish take on Instant Messaging (IM) than MSN Messenger, I have used Skype almost daily for 3 years. However one area that I have been looking for improvement in is Video calling. Whilst the Windows version offers “High Quality” calling options with a suitably powerful webcam…
