Mozy online back up
As the designated IT guy in my social circle I’ve had to say “… but you’ve backed everything up right??” more times than I care to remember. The first line of working with computers 101 and the mantra of IT support professionals , backing up your work should be second nature (case in point, I instinctively hit Cmd+S after typing that). But the good old…
The Wild Jam Maker App: Possibly the most ‘fruitful’ app in existence
From apps that can turn your iPhone into a stethoscope so that you can listen to your own heartbeat, to an app that encourages you to lick the screen to curb pangs of hunger, there’s an app for just about anything these days, although the latest app press release to arrive in the LG inbox takes some beating – the Wild Jam Maker App. Download…
Etymotic AWARENESS headphone app: Making headphones safer
Now here’s a funny story. A friend of mine recently got into jogging but insisted that he needed his run to be accompanied with the music on his iPod. As he was happily running through a field with the lyrics of U2 helping him maintain his pace, he was blissfully unaware of the 5.2-hand horse cantering next to him. It was only when one track…
Hector: Ep1 HD – We Negotiate with Terrorists
The iPad’s status as a viable gaming platform is a constant source of debate amongst overly passionate console devotees with empty lives. However as the number of game studios developing for the platform grows it’s harder to argue against the fact that people seem to enjoy playing games on their iPads (ten nerds have just spat out their coco-pops in fury). Whilst some are simply…
Love reading ebooks? You’ll love Lovereading.co.uk
They don’t make it easy for us do they? First it was the war of Betamax and VHS (if you’re old enough to remember that), then it was the Blu-ray/HD-DVD battle. Now, they couldn’t even manage to put eBooks in one format and be done with it. No, there are Kindle titles (stocked by Amazon), and ePub formats to contend with. Until now, the great…
TC Helicon’s VoiceJam app review: Unleash your tongue-fu warrior
You might remember TC-Helicon (we looked at them back here) as they pride themselves on being “the world’s #1 professional audio company dedicated 100% to the needs of singers.” Although they produce a range of old-fashioned stomp boxes for singers, they haven’t watched the relentless march of technology with idle eyes and have been hard at work producing Voice Jam – a vocal looping app…

London-based music streaming site Mixcloud has finally released its first ever mobile app which now give users the opportunity to access podcasts and mixes from you iPhone or iPod touch – finally delivering podcasts in pockets.

Morf: MacGyver your iPhone
Do you know how to stop your pets getting onto the sofa? Could you make instant smelling salts from what’s in the fridge? How many uses do you have for toothpaste? These are all questions we hadn’t asked until the Morf app came into our lives. Now, we’re stuck trying to make everything do something else. And thanks to Morf, it’s easier. The Morf iPhone…
Viator app makes finding something to do around the world a breeze.
It used to be great fun being a tourist. I have many fond memories of being in some dark and distant city pouring over a map in a local bar trying to work out where I was and where on earth I was going to find the attraction I was looking for. The simple drama of wandering down a narrow twisty cobbled street toward somewhere…

Lynx Stream is the best app for a night out to hit the iPhone. Ever. The software records every detail of your evening out – so you’re free to drink enough to forget it. The app is really simple – using Facebook and your phone’s functions, it logs all the data from your evening, from start to finish. For example, through the app, you create…
Onavo: Fast and efficient mobile internet browsing
The Onavo app promises to make your mobile internet browsing faster and more efficient. Download a simple app, tap three times and your mobile becomes 70% quicker. Too good to be true? As our Orange 3G signal in London is incredibly poor, we took the app on a very personal test. And it worked. Phenomenally. For the first time ever, we were able to use…
Beauty Check iPhone app
I love to rate other people. Let’s be honest, we all do it. On the way to work, you see someone and think to yourself they look gorgeous. Perhaps you rate yourself as the next Brad or Angelina? Are you always told you look a celebrity? Now there is a way for you to show how gorgeous you are with mathematical proof. A new app,…
FourFourTwo App review
If you’re football-crazed, you’ll willingly spend £2.99 on an iPhone app. For those of us who aren’t as zealous, there will need to be some convincing. So why is Planet Football, an app made by FourFourTwo magazine, worth the price? Read on. Content Firstly, it’s packed with content from FourFourTwo. All the latest news and blogs are available on your phone, customised for the small…
iTrack protect: Mobile tracking technology
It has crossed everyone’s mind at some point – where is your child, your relative, your partner? In the interest of safety and wellbeing – and cunning, curious Sherlock Holmes ingenuity – tracking the location of people has always been a hot topic of interest. The itrack Protect is billed as ‘James Bond style technology’ in its marketing information, but the mobile phone tracking system…
Roxie’s a-MAZE-ing Vacation Adventure: Essential education tools or sedentary lifestyle invokers?
Parents of today are faced with a dilemma parents of the past were never faced with… Let your children embrace the digital era and in doing so inadvertently encourage a sedentary lifestyle? Or restrain exposure to today’s technology and inadvertently thwart the educational and technically-minded benefits such technology can bring? If you are a parent of the former inclination, you may be interested in hearing…
