    Site changes

    We’ve recently made some site changes and those of you with displays over 1024 pixels wide should have noticed that we’ve gone widescreen!

    What you wont have noticed (Hopefully!) is that all of the underlying site code has changed. It should be seamless and I don’t think anything is broken yet. The main advantage here is that it allows us to make some of the bigger changes that we have planned for later in the year.

    As always, please do let me know if you notice anything strange!

    Happy new year & news!

    Just wanted to wish everyone a very happy new year and all the very best for 2008. I hope there aren’t too many hangovers out there!

    We also have one other announcement for you, rather off topic and nothing to do with the site as such, but I’m really excited to be able to tell you all that Tracy and I are expecting our first baby! The due date is June 12th but I’m sure that the next 6 months will just fly by.

    So if anyone out there wants to send us some baby stuff to review we’d be more than happy! 😛

    Before anyone asks, I wont be posting a review or unboxing video of the baby!

    HeroCraft announces Revival for PDA & Smartphones

    HeroCraft announces the forthcoming release of the long-awaited game Revival for PDA & Smartphones. Here is there press release:

    Revival is a turn-based military strategy game in the tradition of the world-famous game title, “Civilization”. The player will have to explore continents, direct battles on land and sea, build towns, develop science and uphold the economy of his empire.

Unconquerable general or inborn diplomat? Talented economist or crafty politician? You choose your path to glory in the world of Revival.

    The detailed information about the game, including screenshots and trailer is available on the HeroCraft PDA site – http://smart.herocraft.com/revival.

    Game features:

  • The game is designed in the best traditions of Civilization
  • Realistic strategic game play – turn-based tactics, resource quarrying, founding towns, upgrading buildings, land and sea battles, and even the units will gather experience!
  • Modern economical model: you can buy and sell everything
  • Immense game space: 7 planets, 27 continents
  • The scenario campaign consists of 13 missions which will take not less than 40 hours to complete
  • Very detailed tutorial with an amusing and humorous mentor.
  • Excellent artificial intelligence, adjustable difficulty levels and even allows you to battle against 7 simultaneous non-player opponents

    Asus Eee PC with added HSDPA

    I’m sure that most of you will be aware of the excellent Asus Eee PC and it’s certainly no secret that I’m a big fan of the device, so much so that I bought one for myself and one for Tracy.

    However, the one thing missing from the Eee PC is 3G/HSDPA which means that you have to rely upon WiFi hotspots or use an external USB modem to get true mobile connectivity.

    Fear not though, thanks to the clever chap over at JKKMobile you can perform a fairly simple hack and fit a USB HSDPA modem internally! Definitely worth checking out his step-by-step guide!

    Samsung i640

    I’m quite a fan of the Samsung smartphones having had an i600 and an i620 so I am expecting good things from the i640 – I hope to bring you a review very soon!

    The Samsung i640v Vodafone live! device with Windows Mobile 6 device is great for messaging and email with its QWERTY Keyboard. The large high quality screen and 3G HSDPA (broadband speeds) makes it a great device for browsing Vodafone Mobile Internet, it also features a 2 megapixel camera, bluetooth, video calling and memory expandability (up to 4Gb MicroSD). You are always ready to go with the spare battery and battery charging station included.
