IM+ for BlackBerry was recently updated and if you have not seen it in action now is your chance. We reviewed IM+ for the iPad a while ago and the application on the BlackBerry is much the same and works beautifully.
Shape Services that produce IM+ have a nice range of applications for all mobile platforms. Head on over to the site and see if you can find something to make your life easier.
The popular CNN news network have just released a rather excellent application for the iPhone. As you will see in the video below the app incorporates not just the news headlines but video as well as some other super features.
If you have an iPhone and like to keep up to date with world news then this app is a must. It’s free as well!
Check out the short demo video below to see what it has to offer.
A few months ago I got my hands on the Archos 5 Internet Media Tablet and we did a little review of the portable media player.
This time I’ve got my hands on the Archos 5 Internet Tablet to review. So at this point you may be wondering if I’ve just repeated myself in the last two sentences. However, the two devices are indeed different. The hardware on both the Internet Media and the Internet Tablet are much the same, the come in 32GB to 500GB models for example. However where they differ is in the operating system. The Internet Media tablet having a custom Linux-based OS and the Internet Tablet has a more standard Android operating system. We thought it would be worth seeing what this Android version had to offer.
As always the review is in the making but for now you can take a look at the unboxing video below.
The Nokia X3 has been around for a while now but we constantly get asked about it, possibly because it’s just got the circa £100 on PAYG mark. So we decided we had better get around to unboxing and reviewing it.
Being part of the X Series range, the device is based around music and although fairly basic it does come with a very affordable price tag.
Running Symbian Series 40 the user interface will be familiar to Nokia users and therefore navigating the phones menu will be a piece of cake. Unlike the Nokia X6, we have previously reviewed, this one comes with a proper hardware keypad which most Nokia users are used too.
With its music controls located along side the screen could the Nokia X3 be a good alternative to carrying an MP3 player? Only one way to find out. Lets unbox and put it to the test.
Not so long ago a colour laser printer was a luxury item even for larger businesses and you’d have to have been a seriously hardcore user to warrant one for home use. It wasn’t just the cost, my first colour laser was cost me around £4000 ten years ago, but the size of the older models was also quite prohibitive. I recall that the one I had was about the same size as a small refrigerator and took three of us to carry and move in to location.
Obviously things have changed a lot in the past few years and like everything else the price of colour laser printers has tumbled and new technology has enabled them to drastically reduce in size. This HP Colour LaserJet CP1515n that we are reviewing for it247.com is not much larger than an multi-function inkjet printer and would probably find a place on most peoples desks at both work or home.
The cost may also surprise you, £180.15 including VAT for a colour laser printer is quite incredible! Oh and don’t forget the £50 cashback!
So does the size and price lead to a quality compromise? Read on to find out.
Here is a quick video demo of Traffic Eye for iPhone. With the UK roads being rather congested at times what is better that trying to avoid the jams. Traffic Eye will enable you to do this by letting you view the CCTV cameras on our motorways and major A roads. What a splendid idea.
The app is free and can be found in the app store. See what you think?
A few weeks ago I managed to get my hands on the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini and we were able to unbox and review that here on site already. Overall we were impressed with the phone, it’s a bit of a niche device that obviously wont suit everyone but we liked that it kinda broke the mould.
This week we have the X10 Mini Pro which is the X10 Mini’s chunkier big brother, the Mini Pro packs a sliding QWERTY keyboard though which is what contributes to it’s additional bulk.
Otherwise the X10 Mini and the Mini Pro are virtually identical, same hardware spec and same 5 megapixel camera. There seems to be no software changes either.
We’ll have a full review for you sometime next week but for now take a look at the unboxing video below to see what this device has to offer.
We’ve recently been asked by readers to cover and review some of the less-expensive mobiles that are available. We’ve also been running the ‘bargain feature’ on the Mobile Tech Addicts podcast for the past month or so where we’ve been scouring the stores and the internet to bring you what we think are some of the best mobile deals out there.
To that end we’re looking at the Nokia 7230 here. It has been available since February this year and has just reached a price point of a little over £100 which makes it worth considering. It’s a reasonable specification for the money too, offering Quad-band reception, 3G, FM Radio and 3.2 mega pixel camera.
We’ll be reviewing the Nokia 7230 over the next week or so but thought we’d leave you with this quick unboxing so you can see what it come with and what it has to offer.
With so many of us now using social media apps I thought would shown you how a few are handled on the Samsung Galaxy S that I reviewed recently. As you will see, the Galaxy S is a great mobile tool for taking care of your social media needs and with its 4 inch Super AMOLED display using these apps is a truly enjoyable experience.
In the below video I will give a basic tour of Facebook, Twitter for Android and MySpace on the Galaxy S. I hope the video is of some use if you are considering buying the device.
The Samsung S3370 is part of their Corby range but this new low end touch screen device is now packing 3G so web browsing etc wont be quite as frustrating.
Running Samsung’s, now so familiar, TouchWiz UI the S3370 will be a low cost, lightweight basic phone although it does support a vast range of features including email, Bluetooth, 3G, music player, 1.3mp camera with smile detection and integrated social media applications such as Facebook and MySpace.
As I write this I am not sure how much the Samsung S3370 will retail for but I would imagine it will be inline with previous Corby phones and therefore on PAYG should sell for around the £75.00 mark.
Lets unbox and see what we get for our money.
