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 [...]
Perfect Traveller Mobile
After a poor discussion with mobile phone operator regarding upgrades to iPhone4 (no I will not pay £290 AND a 2 year contract for an upgrade), I decided to go elsewhere for a new mobile phone. I had to get a new one primarily because my iPhone3′s battery life was degrading at such a rate [...]
iPhone and Travel
When travelling it is always a great idea to have an unlocked mobile phone but this can turn out to be expensive especially if have an iPhone.

Everyone Mobile
An interesting statistic crossed my path the other day, and that was the fact that 2 million iPhones had been sold in the UK. Now I have not fact checked this little nugget, but it is impressive even if it is half true. That is 1 iPhone for every 30 people in the UK. The [...]

However with the release of the 3.1 firmware, my battery life took a [...]
Travelling … service resuming
Things have been a little quiet on the site for a while, mainly because I have been involved in a pretty intense period of project work which has required me to do a multi-country commute for almost six months now. During this time, I have really appreciated the smallness of my netbook main machine and [...]
Mobile Phones – is 3G worth it?
I recently changed my mobile from a GSM only HTC Vox S710 to a HTC Touch Dual 3G mobile phone. The switch is a short term one as the switch was because the S710 was really beat up and scratched, and the Touch Dual was available at a steal of a price. It has given [...]
Real long distance working
Stephen Fry has produced a wonderful post where he kicks about various mobile/cell phones, but it has a wonderful description of his approach to real long distance working… Get a coffee, sit back and read it through. Lovely.
Redfly – a miss by a mile
Celio is a company that has produced the Redfly Smartphone Terminal since earlier this year. They have just released new update hardware in terms of the C7 and C8N, where the differentials are purely in screen size, weight and ‘Media Port’ – all of this for between $229 and $299 (I would expect that to [...]
