Iphone

Not only have the iPhone’s dropped down in price, Apple have now cut supplies to retailers! All this fuels consumer predictions of a 3rd generation model. With the ever iPhone 2.0 software soon to hit iPhone lovers in June who’s to say Mr Jobs won’t take us to ecstasy with a 3rd generation- 2.0 version.

Mr site’s take away website

May 4, 2008 – 1:42 pm

I started to use this tool when I was first getting into setting up my own website.

Mr Site’s is a Takeaway Website offering individuals and small businesses most of the tools they need to get a professional-looking website online.

The concept itself is brilliant, for £35 I could have my own dot com set up in 30 mins.

Its main features include :

Secure Paypal Shopping Cart
Hosting & Bandwidth
you@yourdomain.com
Music Player
Diary / Blog
And many more…

However, with all these great features available to the user there is only so far you can go. There are some advanced features which need to added to the platform, for example, tag integration and more user control over look an feel. Not to mention the tool has more bugs then my back garden!

If its just a quick easy website you want to set up I would suggest checking out Mr site, if not you might want to go for one of the more advanced platforms.

Wii Fit

May 3, 2008 – 1:43 pm

I wasn’t one of the first to have the Wii Fit, my local woolies wouldn’t allow me to reserve one, but thanks to my persistence I managed to find one in Argos!

Well what can I say for me excersise usually consists of the walk to the train station on my way to work in the morning but now thanks to the Wii Fit I play without realising that I’m actually excerising.

My first try it conducts a body test which measures your BMI center of gravity and gives you a Wii Fit age, I found out I lean to much to the right, I have an ideal BMI but I am actually 48! Exactly that’s like 23 years older than I really am!!!

So in order to change that I played many of the games, in true Nintendo style it has many of the games locked so the more you work out the more games you get to unlock, the competition between family and friends actually drives me to do more although I can see that it could have the opposite affect. For me the hula hoop game gets me back to my youth and the skiing is also fun, however the jogging on the spot can get slightly tedious but after all this a week later my Wii fit age is down to 21… I done it, I actually made myself younger!

Pro’s
Competition between the family may bring you together the games don’t make you feel like you have done an hour in the gym but you do feel it after a while

Con’s
The Wii fit age can jump dramatically and it sometimes asks inappropriate questions but just remember it is only a computer you don’t have to take it personally

If you don’t use it, it will just be a piece of genius merchinary that you have spent £70 that sits under you television

RRP £69

Personally I recommend you use it but sometimes it is difficult to find time to have a go but it is enjoyable when you do!

miShare

April 29, 2008 – 1:42 pm

For the first time iPod users can transfer files on their iPods between each other, the digital equivalent of pressing Record/ Play. The miShare sends songs, pics and vids within 10 sec (not compatible with iPhone or iPod touch).

The miShare is retailing for around £60 and can be found at iSkins.co.uk.

BBC iPlayer

An iPhone users wet dream!!!

The BBC iPlayer allows iPhone users to access on demand television over a wifi connection.

Us iPhones users can watch BBC shows on a 7 day catch up service. As an Apprentice and Top gear lover the BBC iPlayer is right up my street. I started using this service about two months ago and since then have never looked back
