iPhone 3GS

Recently upgraded from the iPod touch (1st gen) to the iPhone 3GS. Wow! Together with the 3.0 software, it's a superb package. The 3GS is much faster than the old touch. The on-board camera is pretty average from what I've seen of it to date but the video functionality is quite neat. 3G reception on the O2 data network is not too bad at home and in town centres, but there are plenty of notspots when out and about in rural Worcestershire.

iRobot Roomba 530

Finally, it's here - the iRobot Roomba 530! An absolute bargain from Lakeland (compared to the official selling price). Here it is "earning its corn" in Robert's office.

The upstairs carpets have never been so clean. Annie loves it. It's currently ranked up there with TiVo and the (sadly now long gone) Psion Series 3 as "one of the best gadgets ever" and loved almost as much as her MacBook Pro...

Gadget Show Live

Lilly and I went to the NEC on Friday 17 April 2009 for day 1 of the first ever "Gadget Show Live" event.

It was a 3 day sell out. Hall 1 had about 100 or so exhibitors, big and small. Hall 2 was set up to be the Sony Super Theatre. We went to the 2pm show. It was an hour of live fun and games! We're now looking forward to next year's event...
