Pocket Legends, an addictive MMO for iPad.
Oct 5th
Just a quick post to tell you about a game I’ve installed on my iPad for ages but only recently rediscovered. Pocket Legends can best described as World of Warcraft for Apple devices. The control system is very simple, it’s just point to a space in the environment and your character will move. Combat is a case of selecting a power or weapon and your character will automatically attack the nearest enemy.
Hipstamatic app on the iPhone
Apr 29th
I’ve recently discovered a wonderful application that takes photos like those old 1960-70s film cameras. I love them because they remind me of when I was a young; these type of photos encompass that era, now it’s instantly possible on the iPhone.
Windows Mobile 7 will fail.
Feb 17th
Once again Microsoft have not heard what the customers want. They failed with Vista because they thought they could dictate to the customers and look how that turned out.
With Windows Mobile 7, they have made the mobile phone the everything device when it can’t be that. Whenever you try to treat a small device as a big device you just get programs trying to run faster than the hardware is able to; Microsoft’s previous solution to this is to make the HARDWARE more powerful when they should be making the software simpler.
Windows Mobile 7′s interface is a barrier, it makes More >
What will Apple’s iPad mean for photographers?
Jan 29th
I was speaking to another Tech Gear Head this evening about the iPad and what it meant. He suggested that it right now it doesn’t fit anywhere and is creating a market all of its own.
But what does this mean for Photographers? For amateurs I can’t say; it is an investment regardless if Steve Jobs says it’s only $499! But for a Professional Photographer I can see great benefits.

Guerrilla Bob. A possible next purchase for my iPhone.
Jan 28th
I have lots of apps on my iPhone. My friends have said too many However, with over 140,000 apps on the Apps Store there are quite a few I need to get through. This new one by Chillingo looks very good.
Judging by the review from Toucharcade.com it’s too easy to finish; but then Modern Warfare 2 is easy to finish, but ggrrrrreeeat fun to play! You can read TOUCHARCADE.COM review here.
Here’s another video taken by a player.
Why I believe Apple’s iPad will succeed.
Jan 28th
Apple’s product philosophy is simple to understand but difficult to master; keep the design simple, make the interface intuitive and elegant and control the connection between the software and hardware.
Look at Apple’s computer range. The minimalist design of the Mac Pro desktop is simple and brilliantly executed. On the front are two optical disk slots that are hidden, a power button and few usb/firewire ports and that is it! Compare that with a PC and it’s clear which hardware is trying too hard.
Apple’s Macbook range is equally as simple in design and form. Once again the body is uniformed with More >
Grand Theft Auto on iPhone.
Jan 27th
I love my iPhone. I’m not ashamed to admit it. I love everything Apple. I like to feed my iPhone with as many apps as I can get my hands on, but lately I’ve been very choosy about what I buy from the App Store.
If you’re an owner of the iPhone and you love games, then no doubt you’ll have heard that GTA is finally available. I loved GTA on my Xbox 360, but after 6 weeks of playing the novelty wore off and my attention went elsewhere (damn you Call of Duty 4). Now that GTA is on my More >
iPhone therefore I don’t know!!
Mar 19th
I have a few months left on my Orange contract and I REALLY cannot wait for it to end. I purchased the HTC Touch almost 18 months ago. At that time the iPhone was just on the cusp of being released but it was untested. Ever since then everybody and their dog has the iPhone; this is the problem… it is no longer a unique gadget anymore. It has been demystified and in my opinion lost the cool factor.
I have been looking at alternatives such as the Google Phone and Blackberry. Time will tell, but I’m still leaning towards the More >
