    iPod Touch: An iPod & Computer In Your Pocket?

    i'm in the rare position where i'm a) in need of a new iPod and b) about up for my phone contract upgrade. and now of course, it's pretty much certain that an iPhone similarly priced to an iPod touch will be out in the UK before christmas. well-trusted new nokia + cheap contract + thin, light...

    Vista, the osx wanna be....?

    on Monday i will be installing home Premium vista on a 6 year old Dell Dimension 1.8GHz P4, also adding in 1GB ram and a GeForce 6200 256MB to hopefully offset the vista bloat. My Dad decided to buy a copy of vista and asked me to help get it to work... minimum reccomended reqs are 1Ghz, and i...

    The new keyboards!

    it's actually remarkably well thought out. it takes courage for a designer to omit something that people use, you have to weigh in the benefits of removing it. people who use bluetooth keyboards are often people who use it on their laps. the keypad shifts the centre of the typing area off to...

    Load iPod Classic firmware to 5.5Gen iPod video?

    i said that ;) but yes. i'd probably actually buy a cheap 60gb 5G and stick a 160gb hdd in when the prices dropped.

    What Do You Think of the new iPods?

    i love my shuffle. it so brilliant, after carting around a full ipod, something that weighs less that the half-length earphones i have, and doesn't need any input from me to work it. listen to it on the tram into town to meet people, leave it in the bottom of my pocket all night then still...

    What Do You Think of the new iPods?

    difficult to explain in an all encompassing way, and many people have done so already (google is your best bet)... but here goes: basically, when something on a screen isn't horizontal or vertical, it looks all jaggedy as the pixels have to sit within their grid. anti-aliasing smooths the...

    What Do You Think of the new iPods?

    i would imagine so. to be honest though, although they *say* the new Classic is thinner, it has to be microns as even the 'thin' 80gb model i handled was still fairly hefty. in fact, thinking about it, it actually feels like a step back. the interface on the 5g was rapid, very fluid. on the...

    What Do You Think of the new iPods?

    played with a new nano, and also an 80gb classic. nano: so small it's getting silly. when people see that it's fat, they don't realise that it's nearly half the size of the old one... and it feels very thin too. video is even more amazing than the old 5G full-fat, as all the UI overlays...

    What Do You Think of the new iPods?

    Need your advice: should I trade my iPod video for a iPod classic?

    What Do You Think of the new iPods?

    160gb is the highest capacity a 1.8" disk (ipod size) comes in, it was actually released only about 2 weeks ago. before that, 120gb was the biggest. next size up is 2.5", which goes to about 200gb i think, and that's archos-size brick size.

    Is it wise to buy a MBP?

    no. traditionally, apple has never updated hardware specifically to tie in with an OS release. if you can wait till the leopard countdown, which is when they announce the release date a month or so in advance, (some time in late september/october), then you can buy the MBP safe in the...
