The Tech of Tomorrow

October 28, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There are a bunch of videos doing the rounds today that certainly worth watching. Two from Microsoft and two from RIM (BlackBerry). They all look at devices we might expect to be able to play with in the near future. There are clearly some trends; lots more speach and touch, lots of holographic projections but […]

Steampunk smartphone

June 16, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 7 Comments

Richard Clarkson, aka @Clarkson_Rich, has designed this simply stunning steampunk phone. He calls it a “rotary mechanical smartphone” and I can see why. Clarkson writes that he wanted to include more feeling and life into our digital technology. I think he’s succeeded. Don’t you?

Mobile Review: Samsung Galaxy Mini

June 5, 2011 by Graham Gibson Leave a Comment

I have long been of the belief that technology is an enabler. Used properly it can educate, entertain, and generally enhance the quality of our lives. I am also firmly of the belief that in order for the maximum number of people to benefit from technology, cost should not be a barrier to entry. Samsung […]

Fantasy skull wallpapers for the iPhone 4

This will make me sound like a stalker – but one of the artists I like to follow closely on the web is Keith Noordzy.  Keith has the knack of getting that blend of fantasy into images that would otherwise have a familiar feeling. For example, he’s published this pair of skull wallpapers for the […]

Cute Android phone charm… er, androidy!

June 23, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

I’m not often won over by phone charms but this cheeky chap has a certain character. He’s far from expensive either coming in at less than $3.00 and with free shipping. I’ve not checked but I suspect this doesn’t include international. Today, of course, is a big Android day with Verizon and Motorola announcing the Droid […]

Free (for two weeks) and fun: the AR RPG for iPhone

June 23, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Hudson Soft has, I think, come up with a fun RPG for the iPhone. It uses location technology and the camera as the basis for the game. As you explore the real world you discover some of the 600 plus monsters in the RPG game world. I see straight away how that works and why […]

Tchaikovsky’s 1812 overture played by 1000 mobiles and 2000 text alerts

October 23, 2009 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is an ad for Vodafone New Zealand. It features 1000 mobile phones with their ring tunes carefully selected and synchronised to play the Tchaikovsky’s 1812 overture. Of course; it would equally be possible to take a single mobile with an MP3 ringtone of the 1812 overture but that wouldn’t be so cool.
