Multimedia multitasker – Nero 11
If you want to do anything with multimedia files, whether it’s editing MP3 files, create slideshows, edit video, receiver data from damaged discs and loads more, Nero software seems to be able to do it all. Long gone are the days when all it did was burn data to CDs (although you can still do that too!) This is version 11 so what’s new since its last outing? Well, there…
Get closer to the action with Sony’s DCR-SX21E and DCR-SR21E Handycams
Sony’s two new standard definition Handycams are the perfect tool for anyone who can’t get close enough to the action they want to film – both boast a huge 67x extended zoom.

Blurb iOS app: Share your stories in an instant
One of the great things about all this technology we have at our fingertips is that we can share instantly with friends and family – maybe post up some pictures from a party, or share a video of a family event with relatives who couldn’t make it.

Get a new angle from the Canon EOS 60D DSLR
The Canon 60D is the third similar camera that Canon has released in the past year, so what makes it worth the £1,099 price tag? Well, probably one of the most obvious new features is the articulated screen, which makes it easier for the photographer to be more creative with their angles, and which is also a bonus for filming video or when you’re waiting for that perfect shot when…
TWIG: StumbleUpon, FaceBook Places, Action Cam
The Week In Gadgets This week saw a number of interesting announcements centring about the Internet. And a Head camera. Wired editor Chris Anderson did a Nas and proclaimed that the Web was dead, before a number of companies and columnists rose to dispute his claim.

Flip MinoHD: A YouTube friendly pocket HD camera
I’m clearly not the target market for this device. I love twiddling with video cameras and their settings. I never go on a shoot without taking a bunch of pink and blue tinted cards for creative white balancing. One of my favorite software packages is Apple’s Color (sic), where users can tweak footage sessions and create wonderful bleach bypass effects or stark, emotive black and white footage. So when I…

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.

It is not, however without it’s detractors. Retail is an art and there is real value in face-to-face interaction with trained staff.

To be fair, the company does point out that they can be used whenever and wherever, you want and not just on a sunny beach! Through the technology embedded in the Wrap product range, you can view a…
