Battery Life is a Feature
I do not always follow every iDevice rumour but the one I do hope would come true (and not just for iDevices) is extending battery life further. High End Version of New iPads Get Extra Battery Life Reports are coming in that Apple will be unveiling two versions of iPad3 this early 2012, one for [...]
Travel Tablets
Like many of you I acquired an iPad just after it launched last year and added it to my arsenal of lightweight information processing equipment. However I struggled to make it work in my setup primarily because I make use of an ultralight laptop. It ended up being yet another similar sized device that was [...]
Incidence of Gadgets
Travelling as much as I do, I have noticed quite a big change over the last decade in the range of gadgets carried by travellers. It used to be the case that you saw most business travellers with their Nokia 6210 mobile phones and some actually had laptops ranging from the hulking huge to the [...]
Powered Flight…
… or in other words, having a good charging solution for your charge hungry smartphone, MiFi and tablet. This is where the A-solar Power Bank Pro comes in. I have always prided myself on always having the best tech, particularly when it comes to smartphones, Wi-Fi gadgets and tablets. However one of the banes of [...]
Netbook Death by iPad
A thought just struck me after reading yet another ‘Netbooks are dead’ article. Netbooks are not dead, they just need to evolve. As a keyboard based device, many people do want (but already have one). Many of them are looking to upgrade, however Netbooks have functionally changed little since 2007.

Multi-Monitors on the road
You are on the road with your ultra-portable with its resolution impaired screen and you need a little bit more space to work on multi-documents (particularly Excel!) and you are stuck as this office (or hotel!) does not have a spare monitor to either use as your main screen or extend your desktop. So what [...]
Subsidised iPads–Are they worth it?
I have just noted that the mobile company Three (3) have made available a subsidised iPad for £200 as long as you subscribe to a 24 month contract at £25 per month. This compares with the full price of the same iPad at full price as being £531 . This looks like a sweet deal [...]
Death of Netbooks…
There have been many posts today (like this, and this) as follow up to the Acer story about them dropping netbooks as a product and effectively focusing on touch screen devices. The follow up has been largely about retractions from Acer that netbooks will be an important part of their product lineup. Many people have [...]
iOS4.2, the iPad and the Laptop/Netbook
Brook Crothers of CNET seems to believe he can now make the iPad work for him… CNET’s Brook Crothers claims that with the launch of iOS 4.2, he is pretty much ready to abandon his MacBook Air in favor of full-time use of his iPad. Even before the upgrade to the mobile OS, Crothers found [...]
Is the new MacBook Air eating into iPad sales?
Since the Late 2010 MacBook Air was released, there has been a huge amount of interest in the small and light space. Now the headlines are coming through asking the obvious bait question:- Is the new MacBook Air eating into iPad sales?. Until the recent release, most people were posting about whether the iPad was [...]
