Yet another one of my friends is about to become a dad.
Now, I’d like to think that if I became a parent I’d be more about what’s best for the kid rather than getting a trendy pushchair, or all-terrain buggy…….
But then I saw this on Kid Kustom USA’s site – it almost made me want to procreate!
Meet the Roddler.
Designed with obvious hot rod-styling cues with “high-end materials” this is a must have for any new father surely?
It has chrome wheels, fin-shaped fenders and white wall tyres, colour-coded brakes, and chrome grips for pity’s sake!
There’s also an ultrasuede seat insert for comfort and carbon vinyl leatherette for the seat and top for added durability. See – it is practical
It costs $2000 but for an extra $500 you can get a model that transforms into a trike when your child is old enough to propel themselves
You know how it is.
We were happy with 3G when it came out but that was like ages ago!
We need 4G now!
You may have heard that those lucky TeliaSonera customers over in Sweden and Norway have got access to the speedy service and, as not to be left out, so has Slough!
Where the 4G is [...]
Yup – if you’re coming to the end of your contract, such as I, then the world could be your lobster!
O2 has confirmed that iPhone users are “entirely free” to move to another network after their contract is up for £14.97 – thus allowing customers to unlock their iPhones to work on different networks.
On the [...]
A range of Apple-flavoured joy abounds!
Not only do we have a new MacBook and a choice of iMacs the little Magic Mouse gets all touchy!
So – a brand-new version of the entry-level white MacBook eh?
What’s new?
You get the upper-class addition of the same glass multi-touch trackpad that’s usually seen larking about on the more expensive [...]
Remember the post about the very lovely Brionvega audio gear.
Sexiness in retro designer form.
Well my UK living friends – good news!
You can now buy a selection of goodies from right here, in this country of ours.
The classic cube radio was designed in 1963 by Richard Sapper & Marco Zanuso and is now a true design [...]
Remember those Parrott speakers by Phillipe Starck that appeared here around Christmas last year?
Well, he enjoyed that slice of consumer tech so much he’s only gone over to French hardware manufacturer, LaCie, and added that Starck “Je na se qua” to some hard drives.
LaCie have a bit of a history of adding some nice [...]
2 years.
That’s almost half a century in tech years.
But that’s how long it’s taken for Amazon to spring their eBook reader over to the UK.
Yup – it sounds like we might finally be graced by the presence of Kindle 2 – but do we need it now?
It’s not like we’ve all been forced to keep [...]
Kodak has announced the successor to its Zi6 pocket camcorder with the UK launch of the Flip-rivaling Kodak Zi8 digital video camera which should shove the Flip HD’s nose out of joint.
The original Zi6 managed to record at 720p but the Zi8 records in full 1080p high definition and there’s also built-in electronic image [...]
I have a soft spot for Panasonic cameras and now they’ve announced that it is updating its FZ28 model with a new version packing an 18x optical super zoom.
The new snapper was announced on Monday and is named the DMC-FZ35 in the US and the DMC-FZ38 in the UK – slightly confusing for the likes [...]
We knew that the clever Modu had hit production lines but now it’s made another bold step.
It has actually been released and is out there in the really-real world!
The carrier to debut this modular mobile is none-other than the Israel company’s local network Cellcom.
To deter any people saying things like “yerright – that’s real!” Mobo [...]
Well, I know 1PB is pretty large – thanks to Mozy they’ve made it ’simple’.
Scary – but simple. Have a look.
So, if it’s comparable to 13.3 years of HDTV content that’s roughly 58,292 movies, which means an equal number of large pizzas.
Therefore 1PB = approximately 52 tonnes of pepperoni pizza!
For those more office based [...]
DJ’s generally have it slightly easier than bands.
Their gear is easier to break down, they don’t have to split their fee with 2, 3, 15 (if you’re in Dexy’s Midnight Runners) other people and ultimately most of the music they play has already been written and recorded by somebody else.
This easy run may explain Activision’s [...]
If, like me, you updated your iPhone with 3.0 then went to send a picture as soon as possible only to have it not send – here’s why.
According to O2 if you’re on the Simplicity scheme or you’re a pay as you go customer, once you’ve updated your iPhone, you need to text ‘MMS‘ to [...]
The bane of ISP’s in the UK - BBC’s iPlayer has been a huge success.
Want to know how much data is sent out?
Well, iPlayer boss Anthony Rose has revealed some of the numbers in an interview with CNet UK’s Crave, and states:
“I think that at the moment, just for streaming, iPlayer uses about 60Gbps of bandwidth (that’s about [...]

Another Asus Eee PC!
This one is the 1008HA Seashell – the company’s new skinny 10 inch netbook and it’s now on sale in the UK.
It weighs in at 1.1kg and measures less than an inch thick at its fattest.
The netbook offers up the 1.67HGz Intel Atom N280 processor and claims to go for six hours [...]
I’ve been waiting for this for ages. The Polaroid Two is now ready to order in the UK in time for the BBQ, Festival and Holiday season!
This is the digital camera that also prints out your pics just like the original Polaroid.
Don’t be turning your nose up and the 5 megapixel model – it will [...]
Today should be renamed Android day!
Yup, The latest Android mobile phone, the HTC Magic, has gone on sale today exclusively to Vodafone in the UK.
It’s priced from £30 per month on a 24-month contract and for that you’ll get 600 minutes, unlimited texts and unlimited internet access each month with Vodafone.

If you cast your mind back to January you will remember that I was quite taken with the sexy Samsung Blu-ray disc spinner.
Now I can make my dreams reality as Samsung has just announced the UK pricing for two new Blu-ray players, one being the top-of-the-range BD-P4600 and the other is the BD-P1600.
The BD-P4600 has [...]
