Ask anyone I know with a smartphone and they’ll confirm that I’m a big advocate of iOS and a general naysayer of anything else. Mostly, it’s done in jest – I do actually like Android and PalmOS (and I’m about to find out what WinMob 7 is all about), but I do honestly believe  that [...]

Occasionally, in my world of constant connection and needing to know everything RIGHT NOW, I get frustrated when my iPhone seems to be spluttering close to death by the end of the day. Don’t get me wrong, I pretty much always get close to 2 days out of it before it turns in the towel, [...]

I’ve been telling anyone who will listen since the iPad was originally announced that Garage band would be the killer app for it. It’s the perfect marriage of interface and real-life requirements, and I’m unbelievably happy that it’s finally been announced. Garageband is a fantastic multi-track recording tool, simple enough for anyone to use but [...]
