Hi-Tech Gadgets
June 19, 2008
Do you like hi-tech gadgets? Of course you do, who doesn’t like a good hi-tech gadget? I mean they’re like toys for adults to play with!
I recently met several fellow technology / gadget bloggers at LG’s ‘Secret’ Bloggers’ Event to promote the release of their new ‘Secret’ mobile phone. The event was enjoyable in terms of hearing about and getting to play with LG’s latest mobile phone, we also had the opportunity to talk to the LG people to discuss their products, future directions they may take and the industry in general.

June 10, 2008
I recently installed the latest version of the Google Maps download for a mobile phone / Blackberry onto my new HTC Tytn II Windows Mobile handset and have been further impressed by how well this free piece of software works and how useful it actually can be.
I previously had an Orange E650 (a branded HTC S710 Vox handset) which ran Windows Mobile 6 and as such I installed Google Maps on that, however I must admit that I never really used it due to a combination of slow data speeds (it wasn’t a 3G device) and the fact that the data usage charges on my tariff were quite expensive.

June 5, 2008
Girls have a definite advantage when it comes to modern technology, be it mobile phones or other gadgets that are continually being miniaturised - girls generally have smaller hands than us guys! Some girls hands are so small, they can even be referred to as “baby hands”!
I’ve been told in the past that I have sausage fingers! Big chunky hands are not conducive to operating the ever shrinking gadgets and technology that we love - us boys particularly like our tech toys! But nature is working against us in our mighty pursuit of the compact gadget!

June 1, 2008
I recently started using Viigo, a mobile RSS Reader which I installed on my new HTC Tytn II Windows Mobile-based smartphone/PocketPC. Viigo is a similar application to Mobispine which I’ve used in the past to keep up to date with my favourite websites and news feeds while on the move.
Viigo’s primary purpose is also to provide people with a way of accessing content with reduced data usage on their mobile phone/device and therefore reduced costs!

May 19, 2008
I was recently talking to a friend of mine who had got a free Tesco SIM card for her mobile phone, she has recently got sick of paying out each month and being bound to a contract with one of the main large mobile networks which just did not give her value for money.
Tesco (the UK Supermarket) has been selling Pay As You Go mobile phones for a number of years now, they began by selling PAYG handsets of the major networks, but in recent times they have been mobile phone handsets on their own branded Tesco Mobile network - which actually uses the O2 network much like Virgin Mobile uses T-Mobile.

Do you like to check your favourite websites/blogs while out and about with your mobile phone? If you do, then you’ll find that there’s one main problem with checking the individual websites and that is that generally the cost of mobile internet access is expensive.
Your mobile Internet usage is usually charged based upon your data usage and as such anything you can do to minimise this is good!

April 28, 2008
A couple of weeks ago LG invited me to participate in some of the launch events they had planned for their latest mobile phone handset; the ‘LG Secret’.
On Thursday 24th April (unfortunately I couldn’t attend this event), LG held a press conference to announce the name and other details of the latest in their range of ‘Black Label’ series of mobile phone handsets - until this event, no-one had been told what this new mobile would even be called.

When you receive your free Virgin SIM card you will then be able to take advantage of the following PAYG tariff:
• First 5 minutes of calls each day - 15p
• Each minute after that - 5p
• Text messages to other Virgin Mobiles - 3p
• Text messages to other Networks - 10p
Free Orange SIM Card
April 3, 2008
The tariff on this free Orange SIM card seems to be quite reasonable if your usage of your mobile phone is fairly low, based on the following tariff costs, I think I’d definitely be paying less per month than the line rental that I’m currently paying on my Orange contract.

March 22, 2008
These kind of offers are especially good if you’re now at the end of your contract and just want to put a PAYG sim card in your mobile. It’s almost a year since I originally wrote about getting free Vodafone SIM cards and thought it might be good to just re-cap on the offers that are available as they do change over time.
