OK so we all like mobile devices, and part of that is being interested in new accessories that come to market. Sometimes they create their own genres, and sometimes they don’t. Let’s take the good old Bluetooth headset – very poor in it’s original incarnations, but these days they are pretty good. Well Jawbone has…
UK: new Parrot head unit will rock your car!
No sooner than I’ve checked out the pre-order for the HTC Touch 2 on eXpansys, and they are telling me about an accessory from Parrot. No great shakes you might think, but trust me, any accessory that weighs in at £300 without much change, peaks my attention immediately! Parrot have launched today a brand new…
Does anyone actually want a watchphone?
OK then, just putting it out there …. What with all the news on both the LG and Samsung Watchphones (you should be able to get the Orange one this week for about £500), I was just wondering, does anyone actually want one? http://www.techdigest.tv/2009/08/orange_to_launc.html The device is a puzzler for me, because although I can…
Reminder: UK: DSL Developments
Having written a piece that mentioned getting car mounts fitted today (here), I thought I’d just reflect back to the time when we had one fitted to our other car, and the kerfuffle we had in getting the right bits. Specifically, I wanted an active mount for the iPhone that would allow it to be…
UK: eXpansys: Great deals back in Stock!
eXpansys have just let me know that some of the most popular deals they had on devices and accessories have come back in stock. There’s a nice selection between peripherals and also devices themselves, but the pick of the bunch IMHO is the HTC Magic – it’s a great device, and weighing in now at…
UK: Tesco to launch Smartphones on their MVNO
3G.co.uk are reporting that UK Supermarket Tesco is due to start stocking ‘Smartphones’. Presumably this is an attempt to drive up Subs on their MVNO network, but the fact that they are aiming to get eight handsets in-store by year-end, definitely means they are serious. There is apparently some clarity on which the first two…
UK: Is this charger a wind-up? Yes!
MobileFun have just sent me details through of an innovative charger for mobile devices – utilising the power of the wrist (oops, better be careful here), it also packs a torch inside too! Environmentally friendly and money saving, it’s both compact and tough. A solid ergonomic design and powerful internal dynamo make this is an…
UK: eXpansys: Elan Digital Systems Mobidapter
I like crossover gadgets – those that are able to bridge one or two uses, and make a good fist of it at the same time – that’s why I was really interested to see the Elan System Mobidapter, being retailed by eXpansys. The device works like a vampire USB stick, sucking the files off…
UK: eXpansys: Tech21 iBand, as seen on Dragons’ Den
If you watch the BBC1 TV programme Dragons’ Den in the UK (or I guess one of the other franchises round the world), you’ll know that inventors/entrepreneurs roll up and try and get the Dragons’ (read: rich people) to invest in their businesses. Last night, there was a business that was promoting shock protection for…
