It has been some time since I last looked at a new iPhone accessory, and at this stage it’s time to look at a new case. I’ve really been impressed with the lightness and durability of the advanced range of tough waterproof cases, so today we’re taking a close look […]
Last year I reviewed a wireless charging clock, which is still performing admirably on my desk. Unfortunately the iPhone 6 (also obtained last year) does not support Qi wireless charging without some assistance. Enter the aircharge wireless charging case for the iPhone 6, available from friends of Sanders Technology at […]
Welcome, Kodi Introduction Earlier this year I wrote about a little unit which packs a surprising punch. Well, since that time my needs have changed, and I ended up with this unit as surplus to requirements. Never one to let decent hardware sit idle, I moved it into the kitchen […]

Given the serious investment we place in our modern smartphones, it makes a whole lot of sense to also spare a thought for how we protect these pocket sized technical innovations. A busy demanding modern lifestyle can put your mobile device at significant risk of accidental damage in a myriad […]
In recent years, we’ve seen some outstanding developments in mobile telephony. One such innovation has been the introduction of Qi (inductive power standard) wireless charging. For the most part, the majority of modern mobile handsets (except iPhones!) now include Qi wireless charging as standard. For most others there are phone […]
Introducing the LifeProof Fre iPhone Waterproof case Earlier last month I happened to be in the market for a new mobile phone after I managed to destroy my old phone whilst on holidays in New Zealand. As it turned out, I elected to update to the latest iPhone (the iPhone […]
Hi There, Today we’re taking a look at the rather appealing Kensington KeyFolio Executive with Bluetooth keyboard. As regular readers would know, I’m a bit of a keyboard junkie, and I have developed a number of mobile keyboard solutions over the years. Here’s one of my favourites – a […]
As good technical people may tell you, a decent set of headphones can be the difference between a productive day and a really productive day behind the keyboard. Being able to zone into the task at hand is made so much easier by an immersive sound, and excellent acoustics. Over […]
As the BUILD conference (formerly PDC) kicks off in Redmond, we are finally treated to the official launch of the long, long awaited Windows Phone 8 SDK. Held under wraps for months, with precious few copies of the pre-release being seen, this SDK has been a long time coming. The […]
As you my or may not know, Microsoft has been touting its long awaited answer to the Apple iPad – the Microsoft Surface – for some time now. This is Microsoft branded, Microsoft-built hardware which will come in two distinct flavours being a version running Windows 8 RT (on an […]
