For the last week or so we've been testing out the Edifier iF500 speaker docking system for the iPhone & iPod.

Five driver speaker system incorporates unique vibration and resonance control technologies coupled with low frequency porting and mid-range tuned cavities for smoother, cleaner audio. Magnetically shielded 5.75-inch woofer, two ...

Using a headset with your iPhone is an absolute must, especially if you drive a lot or work with computers. Been able to chat on the phone whilst carrying on with your day is brilliant. Using a headset quickly becomes very important. However, because a headset is traditionally a 'loose' item - i.e. it's one of those things that gets dropped into your pocket or bag - they often get lost. That has always put me off headsets personally. That, and they ...

We review the Gum Pro for the iPhone - an external iPhone battery charger by Just Mobile The iPhone is undoubtedly one of (or THE) best ever gadgets. It's so slick, powerful and customizable (with apps, cases e.t.c.).One jaw droppingly annoying downside though - the battery takes a hammering. If you are a heavy iPhone user it's not uncommon to be re-charging twice a day. Consider that your not always near a power socket and you have a problem! If your ...

We're making good use of our YouTube account to bring you our second video review, that of BumpTop. We looked at BumpTop last week in a written review which you can view here.

Today we review the Xtand for iPhone, a machined aluminum stand for your iPhone. Find out our views on the product here. Apple don't make a stand for the iPhone, but if they did the chances are it would be machined out of a single piece of aluminum, look and feel amazing and finally, it'd cost the price of a small family car. Fortunately, JustMobile have come to the rescue with their highly popular iPhone stand line-up, it certainly looks the part ...

Just because you have a Mac doesn't mean you should dismiss anti-virus software. It's only a matter of time before the popularity of the mac platform means it gains more attention from the Virus writing community (aka scumbags). However, Apple computers are not immune to viruses. They are technically possible, just very rare due to the smaller user base and also due to the limitations of virus creation software (which is usually windows based). Even Apple themselves recommend running 'several' anti-virus ...

Every so often, an app hits our virtual desk that literally makes us stop, jaw wide open. Take for example Bumptop. This is possibly THE coolest mac app ever made. The Mac desktop is pretty nifty at allowing you to organize icons easily into groups or bundles as you so wish. Compared to Vista, OSX is far superior. But what if some clever developer decided to take this concept of using the desktop like an actual workspace - and make it ...

We've got a review and 2 giveaway licenses of Postbox a desktop email client for the Mac (on review here and) Windows. This app is so fresh that the latest edition was only released a few hours ago. Hot stuff! We like to give apps a good shake through as you will know, but first, let's look at some of the more outstanding features of Postbox. It would be logical to start with the general installing and setting up of the app first, ...

If your anything like us you'll find actually sourcing new and cool apps pretty tough. Yes you can subscribe to 1500 mac app blogs. Or you could use an app that combines a collection of over 835 apps, categorized for easy browsing, rather like the awesome (and completely free Bodega). Bodega also makes finding an app that does X extremely easy. So if you need an application that helps you concentrate, you'd simple click "Desktop Enhancements" or "Productivity" and check what's ...
