Friday, October 19th, 2007

iPhone finger condoms! Engadget is plugging this as an actual product, but it doesn't really explain the bizarre video. As TUAW are saying "it goes from Love Actually to CSI"

I have the willpower of a two-year old

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

As I mentioned in a previous post, I've been thinking of getting an iPod Touch. It officially hits the shelves this weekend, but I was in Dundrum picking up my copy of Halo 3 yesterday and I stopped into the O2 store to see if they had gotten them in yet. They ...

Why wait for an iPhone?

Sunday, September 23rd, 2007

So, no iPhone for Ireland. At least for now anyway. But it occurs to me, when you look beyond the hype, it's not really that good a phone. Technically anyway. Look at it - No 3G Might not be an issue for the average user, but I'm pretty data heavy. Having to rely ...

The Geeks are revolting!

Friday, September 7th, 2007

So, Apple geeks do have the power to revolt against the gods of Cupertino! That's right. Just two months after the release of the iPhone, Jobs realised that it was well overpriced and lacking in certain key areas. And cut the price. So, if you were a Loyal Apple-head, you just got ...

Vodafone Business Email

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

Just for the record, Vodafone (Ireland) Business Email is a waste of time. As I've mentioned before, I recently got a new mobile. With it came the possibility of access to said email service. So, like a good little Vodafone bunny, I called them up and asked to be setup. No bother ...

Pretty in pink

Sunday, July 22nd, 2007

Word from Vulture Towers, if you want to sell a product to the fairer sex, you have to do it in pink. I just can't wait until this product comes to Ireland. Hundreds of trainee guards and other country folk twitching on the ground outside Copper Face Jacks after trying to ...

iPhone - The first of many returns?

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

So, El Reg has returned it's iPhone. Not returns in a kind of "thanks for the demo model" kind of way. The Reg bought their model, Cupertino didn't seem to want to give them one. The reviewer, Cade Metz, doesn't really hate one thing about the iPhone. Ok, he hated the ...
