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…
Scosche myTREK Wireless Pulse Monitor review
Serious about staying in shape? Then you’ll need data and lots of it. It’s hard enough to exercise (believe me I struggle with it on a daily basis) but it’s even harder to make each workout really count.

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….
Five hangover relief apps: Just in time for the party season!
The party season is upon us and alongside all the late-night partying and too much boozing, there’s going to be a few hangovers in the pipeline. While many people, rather than admit that the eight pints they drank last night is causing their head to thump, their stomach to lurch and their tongue to feel like sandpaper, will blame their state of stupor on the ‘dodgy’ kebab they had on…

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…
