I came across this in-depth article all about the various technologies that are in development for ebook readers and tablets. It’s mostly about the different screen types – whether they’re e-ink, Qualcomm’s mirasol, or liquavista – the article’s a great background on developments that have taken place and what we can look forward to.

VPhase released their first iPhone app today (16th March 2011). It’s completely free to download and use, and includes their unique savings calculator as well as an embedded version of their infomercial that explains in layman’s terms why voltage optimisation is so important. To get hold of the app, just search for ‘vphase’ in the [...]

Ok, I know I’m all grown up and shouldn’t be interested in a phone that includes its own portable playstation system, but I am… in fact, I’m very interested in it. Not only does it appear to have full smartphone capabilities, but it’s apparently housed in a reasonably svelte package (albeit larger than typical smartphones) [...]
Interesting to see two bits of news in the press today about the Amazon Kindle. First there’s the report that Amazon Kindle ebook sales has outstripped traditional paperbacks in the US during the final quarter of 2010. This trend has apparently continued in to January 2011 too, with 115 ebooks being sold for every 100 [...]
The first VPhase TV advert launches on Christmas Eve in the ITV Granada region – which coincides with the launch of a national framework agreement with Eaga Heating Services Ltd. Through the deal (the press release can be read HERE), customers can buy a VPhase unit through Eaga – and have it supplied and fitted [...]
I read with interest this article on the Times Paywall (HERE) and found it fascinating how the media world is waiting to see the outcome of this move. I’m not convinced about the capability of forcing a mass media subscription model on the public, when we reside in such an interconnected, open world of communication, [...]
Unlike The Times that has recently moved behind its paywall (http://thefrontline.v3.co.uk/2010/07/the-times-onlin.html) there are still some excellent resources available online for free news. The Guardian is one of the best available (http://www.guardian.co.uk/) and also offers the ability to interact through posting comments on some of its stories. I’ve been actively involved in the Environmental section (http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment), [...]
There’s an article on the BBC web site today (HERE) commenting on how O2 have condemned the fact that lawyers are targeting alleged file-shrers. Apparently, thousands of controversial letters are being sent to alleged illegal file-shared in the UK. Many online sources are particularly concerned that the letters represent little more than apparent legal bullying, [...]
I’ve started using TV Catchup so I can have the news running in the background, or some trashy TV while I’m browsing online – and what a great little web site it is. No jerky images or audio and all of the channels that are available on Freeview. Not sure if it’s available outside [...]
