Blue Mikey Review

Blue Mikey Review May 24th, 2010

The amount of accessories for the iPhone and iPod line are almost infinite. There's everything from cases to external battery packs.... And now, Blue Microphones offer a professional grade dock-connector Microphone, compatible with the iPod / iPhone lines. This accessory is incredibly high quality - both in terms of the components used and also the final output sound files. There's a lot of detail and fine craftsmanship gone into the Mikey as well as it's surrounding features - and so we'll ...

Airport Extreme Review May 21st, 2010

Linksys lovers, look away now! Now we've got rid of the Apple haters, we're doing our review of the fantastically awesome AirPort Extreme, by Apple.

Ideally suited to business, schools and home users. The Airport Extreme broadcasts fast, 802.11n Wi-Fi access for Mac computers, PCs and Wi-Fi devices such as iPhone, iPod touch and Apple TV.

I'm a huge fan of Star Trek (Yes, I am a nerd) and when have you ever seen Captain Picard stop to charge his tri-corder? Answer: Never. No ugly cables, no mess, he probably pops it straight onto a WildCharge pad and, hey presto he's charging his tricorder. Fortunately, WildCharge also offer the Charging pad and supporting adapter skins for us mere earth-dwellers too and we've got one to try out on our test iPhone 3GS. Features Compatible with all iPhone models Convenient, wire-free ...

Cygnett Maestro

Cygnett Maestro May 10th, 2010

We've been looking at quite a few speaker systems / docks recently - but the Cygnett Maestro has a little secret hidden within that classy design. You see, the Maestro has the ability to run off both mains power and battery (4 x AA's) - making this one very stylish portable music player. The Maestro is rated as "works with iPhone" and "made for iPod" as awarded by Apple. Let's take a closer look at this little stroke of genius. Features Dedicated subwoofer ...

Do you want to protect your iPhone from scratches? We mean, like real protection? Not just a case, but almost like a second skin wrapped around your iPhone? Yes?

Awesome Apple Set-ups

Awesome Apple Set-ups May 3rd, 2010

For  bit of a change, we thought we'd take a look at some inspiring Apple set-ups from around the web. Perhaps you'll see something you like and set about incorporating it in your workspace.

I built the Shelf myself with a tray inset and planted some wheat grass for a nice color. The shelf is also light from beneath for ...

SwitchEasy NUDE case review

SwitchEasy NUDE case review April 29th, 2010

We love iPhone cases - not least because they stop the pretty chrome Apple on the rear from scratching and scuffing. We've got a bunch of SwitchEasy cases we'll be reviewing over the coming weeks. Today we're looking at a clear, NUDE case. The NUDE case gains its name from they fact the iPhone looks stock even with the case fitted - as it sits in at 0.8mm. Surely, 0.8mm can't offer much protection? Not so! The NUDE is form hugging (sitting ...

Moshi ClearGuard MB review

Moshi ClearGuard MB review April 25th, 2010

Macs exude quality. And quality often comes at a price. Even a mac keyboard can cost $70. Spending all that money on a piece of precision machined aluminum makes you want to keep it clean and grunge free. However, whilst the iMac wireless keyboards are pretty easy to clean, if you get dirt in a MacBook Pro keyboard it's a lot tougher to get it out. Even the desktop keyboards are prone to collecting dust and debris and popping keys ...

MacKeeper review

MacKeeper review April 21st, 2010

Cleaning utility programs for the Mac are ok, but they each have their own flaws. Our favorite up and till now has always been CleanMyMac. CMM isn't without it's flaws but in our opinion it's the most established Mac cleaner. However, there's a new kid on the block and it's punching way beyond it's weight. Introducing MacKeeper.... It's a little unfair. You see MacKeeper packs so much into it's $39.95 package that all of it's competitors should be quaking. In fact, if ...
