I’ve had a SonyEricsson Z600 for nearly a year now and I’m bored with it. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a nice enough ‘phone, it’s just that my needs have changed since I got it.

I like to think of myself as a hi-fi enthusiast – don’t get me wrong, I’m not some kind of nerd who’ll waffle on for hours about tweeters, woofers and valve amps, I just like a good sound. I would love to be able to hear the music as cleanly as possible, i.e. as close … Read this review…

I got a 20GB iPod for Christmas and it’s super. I briefly considered an iPod Mini as I like small toys, but 4 times the storage for only 40GBP more was too much of a temptation to ignore.

Like everyone else, I was getting pathetic speeds (120kbps) from my 2mbps ADSL connection over WiFi, so I tweaked my router a bit and I get around 1.6mbps consistently now. Backup or write down your current settings first so you can revert back anytime. So, here’s what to change: Channel ID: Channel 9 (2452 Mhz) … Read this review…

StarryHope’s excellent KeyFixer for Firefox 2 (and here’s a patch for Firefox 3) fixes your Home/End keys.
