Noah over at Technobuffalo is, I think, going to be buying one of these rumoured beauties. Me too. I’ll have one for each room in the house. And I’m only sort-of-joking. Especially if they’re touch-enabled or if they will function as massive picture walls when they’re not being used. Jonathan Ive is rumored to have [...]

Why you really need a scanned copy of your Passport on DropBox (or Evernote)
Did you catch this story doing the rounds and picked up by The Telegraph today? A Canadian chap used his iPad as a passport to get into and out of the country: Martin Reisch said on Tuesday a slightly annoyed US border officer let him cross into the United States from Quebec after he presented [...]

XCom Global now offers unlimited MiFi usage for $14.95/day in 195 countries
I have to say I’m sorely tempted to try out XCom Global’s latest offering. They can now offer you unlimited data via MiFi (or USB stick) for a thoroughly reasonable $14.95 per day across a phenomenal 195 countries (up from 67 previously). There’s no charge for the equipment and delivery is (generally free if you [...]

Noisehush NX80 stereo earphones — just the ticket for the regular commute
I’m pretty particular about having a decent set of earphones around. I do certainly appreciate the super-expensive, super-quality ones, but there’s a time and a place for those. I’m particularly interested in good quality ‘normal’ earphones. Earphones for the morning rush-hour commute, for example, where you’re being pulled from pillar to post by the crowds. [...]
Got any recommendations for an iPad bracket/holder/tripod?
I had this in from a reader who needs a bit of help with iPad bracket/holders for filming. Do you have any suggestions? Here’s what he’s looking for: Ewan, Happy New Year to you. I hope you had a good one. Do you have of know of a bracket that will fix a small video [...]
Apple’s shortly fixing that Photo Stream delete function in iOS 5.1
Earlier this month I was delighted to note that Apple is finally fixing the photo stream functionality in iOS 5. The introduction of version 5.1 will enable you to delete photos from the photo stream. As I commented in my initial post on the matter back in October, Photo stream was a total screw-up. A [...]

Is being able to charge your phone at work a human right?
Yesterday I was reading in the Telegraph about the officers and civilian staff at Sussex Police who have recently been instructed not to charge their personal phones (and other related devices) at work. On the face of it, there’s a reasonable argument — over to the Telegraph post: The force must find £50 million worth [...]

You can only lease 16GB and 32GB iPhone 4S devices from o2
Quite a few people have been asking about my experience leasing an iPhone from o2 the other day (here’s my post about my intent to do so). Alas I didn’t manage to do so. Here’s the overview: I sat down with Ronnie at the o2 store in Richmond-Upon-Thames on Tuesday afternoon. When I arrived into [...]
Three UK’s Richmond store: “We’re selling 2 iPhones every hour”
I popped into the Three UK store in Richmond this afternoon to upgrade (as per my previous post). What I forgot to say was that as I sat doing the order, someone behind me was waiting patiently to buy their iPhone. “Popular, eh?” I said to the chap serving me. He nodded before observing that [...]

I’m going to lease an iPhone 4S from o2 this afternoon
Did you hear about o2′s new leasing programme for iPhones? It caught my attention because it’s almost something I’ve been banging on for quite a while. My favourite operator innovation concept is that I just pay a flat fee per month and receive whatever device I want. The idea being that I finally divorce myself [...]

My landline just rang. I ignored it. I never bother with it anymore…
A strange thing happened this afternoon as I was working away at home. My landline rang and I did absolutely nothing. I let it ring out. I didn’t care. And for the first time ever, I’ve finally arrived into the mindset of: You’re completely irrelevant. Now then, I still use the landline for calling my [...]
