The International Telecommunications Union has released figures from their survey of 154 countries that name the United Kingdom as the 10th most technologically advanced country in the world.

O2 Joggler – the family digital calendar with a horrible, horrible name
O2 is launching a device for the family home in April known as the Joggler. Horrible name, I know. The idea that arose from some hideous marketing session is that it’s dynamic and it juggles all the arrangements so that you don’t have to. Bucket please.
It’s a £149.99 device with a 7-inch WVGA touchscreen, an AC adaptor, Ethernet port, USB slot, 1GB of internal memory and Wi-Fi connectivity. There is no battery because…
32GB MicroSDHC cards coming soon to a phone near you
I’m starting to give up on the idea of SD cards. Let’s face it, most of them don’t come that big and they don’t fit in your phone. So, instead bag yourself an adapter and a good sized microSDHC – say, a 32GB one.
Yes, it seems we’re to be treated to double the current 16GB maximum as of…
Asus: out with the 7" & in with the Eee PC 1008HA
Hands up who wants a 1-inch thick laptop with an edge-to-edge 10-inch screen from Asus? Keep your hands up if you mind that it’s just a touch over 1kg. And keep them up still if you’ve a problem with paying 600 Euros for it. What about if I tell you the battery is non-replaceable? Yeah, I’m not seeing quite so many takers now.
Still, the Asus Eee PC 1008HA is pretty little
Realtime search bar coming to Twitter
The future face of Twitter has been presented to investors at a presentation in San Francisco and that face looks to include a Twitter realtime search bar right at the top of the screen.
I said before – in fact, I think it was just yesterday; yes it was – about the potential of Twitter as a new and more powerful source of search…
Panasonic adds the Lumix DMC-GH1 to the Micro Four Thirds range
This is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 Micro Four Thirds camera. Recognise it? Yes, that’s right, it’s the same as the G1 but with an H to indicate that they’ve finally got round to releasing a model of the hybrid shooter that records HD video…
GALLERY: The Tech Digest take on the characters of Street Fighter IV
Word has it that Halo Wars has just knocked Street Fighter IV off the number one spot on Xbox 360 charts but, just before it disappears into the ether, I thought I’d whip up a little nostalgia for those who haven’t got round to playing the new version of the most successful fighting game ever.
I can’t tell you much about the new boys Abel, Crimson Viper, Rufus, El Fuente and whoever else Capcom has got waiting in the wings but, after years of pumping pennies at the arcade and sitting around in front of a games console, I can give you a little refresher on what the others are all about…
Eight Core Mac Pro, AirPort Extreme and 1TB Time Capsule – more from the house of Jobs
The Mac Pro is all about power and today Apple has laid down two models, one with a quad-core Intel Xeon “Nehalem” processor and the other with two of them.
Both come with a 640GB HDD as standard with 3GB of RAM on one and 6GB…
Apple iMacs get a RAM injection but no facelift this time
They’ve been a while in the coming but the iMacs are here. As predicted, we’re looking at four models, two in 20-inch size and others in a size 24.
They run on the Intel Core 2 Duo systems – rather than the quad cores that many were hoping for – at 2.66 GHz, 2.93 GHz and 3.06 GHz speeds but they do, at least, come impressively RAMed with…
Microsoft Surface out in the UK now for a triffling £10,000
The debatably useful Microsoft Surface touch-sensitive computer table has finally hit the UK shores today. It’s expected to cost a hefty £10,000 when anyone can work out where to actually buy it and I’ll offer an even bigger prize when I’m…
