These days, seemingly not an hour goes by before another touchscreen device is announced (okay, it might not be hourly, but it does seem to happen quite often!).

I was reading a review on Phone Arena the other day for the HTC Touch HD – and it made a couple of very interesting points: 1) what does the ‘HD’ mean in HTC Touch HD 2) the video playback isn’t great, considering the huge (3.8”, 800×480 pixel) screen As you may have read the…
Toshiba G450: USB memory stick, mp3 player, mobile broadband dongle, and phone!

Nokia N96: the five-minute fiddle
I had my hands on an N96 the other day for five minutes, and below you can find out what I thought of it (actually it was a little more than five minutes, but the 17-minute fiddle doesn’t sound as good…) The point of this mini-mini-review is that users who try a device out immediately…

Sony wants you to do more with your PSP!
The folks at Sony were kind enough to mail me and let me know that I could (and should perhaps?) be doing more with my PSP. Apparently there’s lots extra that the PSP does, including: Use Go!Explorer – the GPS add-on: Use Go!Cam – the Webcam add-on: In addition to this (but not in the…
