Everyday for iPhone

Everyday for iPhone March 22nd, 2011

Everyday for iPhone is the brainchild of some people that are winning! The app was released a few hours ago, and has already almost reached the top 25 best selling Apps on iTunes. 1. You take your picture every day 2. You line up your beautiful face on a grid so that it lines up evenly (for the movie) 3. You set reminders (popups with sound) to remind you every day to take a picture 4. When you are ready, you simply push a button ...

Knapsack: An app for travelers

Knapsack: An app for travelers February 13th, 2011

If you're a keen traveler, you'll love Knapsack. It's the perfect app for planning and structuring trips. We've been planning some over-landing / week long trips in our trusty Land Rover and have been searching high and low for a decent journey planner. Not just the type you find on motoring organisation websites or similar. We want a day by day planner, with to do lists regarding our trip. Enter Knapsack. Knapsack helps in 4 key areas of a trip: Research, Planning, ...

GarageBuy for Mac

GarageBuy for Mac December 10th, 2010

We love shopping eBay to find parts for our office 4x4 or just picking up bargains, but the eBay site is less than brilliant when it comes to search and finding what we're looking for. We want a super easy to use app, with it's own purpose built interface to wrangle the eBay monster and tame it. Step in Garagebuy. Check the video review here:

Analytics app

Analytics app December 3rd, 2010

The iPhone, well all agree, is the best phone ever made. Full stop. That is until version 5 of the iPhone launches next year. But enough of that. The iPhone is brilliant, but lacking 'perhaps' one minor way. We still haven't got flash support. And you know what? It doesn't really matter. Almost every blog, website and forum now support the iPhone very well, with some even developing a special UI just for the Apple handset. One site that seems to have been ...

Wunderlist Todo App

Wunderlist Todo App November 22nd, 2010

Occasionally, an app will come around that is good. Really good. Today's app, Wunderlist is very much like that. It takes all the good things of apps like Things or web apps such as TadaLists and improves on them. Firstly, don't think of Wunderlist as a super-whizzy technical app that has all sorts of different options. Rather, the app is beautiful in it's simplicity. There's just enough options to be excellent, but not enough to overpower you. There's no pointless elements. ...

Ricoh CX3 Camera Test

Ricoh CX3 Camera Test November 10th, 2010

The Ricoh CX3 camera is a truly classy piece of kit. It delivers in every field - design, form factor, functionality, usability  and we happen to like it very much. As with any new camera, the best way to get to know it is check out the spec sheet - the CX3 doesn't disappoint, packing a large, 10MP sensor with 10.7X optical wide-angle zoom. This equates to up to 300MM telephoto coverage, from a handheld, something that will appeal to many ...

Vuzix Wrap

Vuzix Wrap November 2nd, 2010

Watching on movies on the iPhone is an interesting experience. We're big fans of watching BBC iPlayer just before we go to sleep, but holding an iPhone becomes very uncomfortable after 10 minutes. You then start to flip and turn and it's just a pain in the neck. The same thing happens if you're in the car (but not driving), on a plane, on the couch - you get the idea. Step in the Vuzix Wrap, a very clever piece of ...

Micro SIM Adapter Review

Micro SIM Adapter Review October 27th, 2010

Have an iPhone 3G/S and a 3G iPad? Likely you'll have purchased the iPad micro-sim and a separate sim card also on contract and this is costing you unnecessary extra charges per month. There is a solution though, to reduce your running costs by utilizing just one card from your iPad. This is all done by using a micro-sim adapter from buymicrosimadapter.com. You could also use this adapter to use your iPhone 4 SIM card in your iPhone 3G/S. The adapters are made ...

New Mac Stuff!

New Mac Stuff! October 20th, 2010

The event has just ended. Techies from around the Mac Media world will be getting their grips on the stuff we've just seen released.
