SHINY VIDEO REVIEW: BlackBerry Storm Part One

Here’s Susi’s initial thoughts on the Blackberry Storm. On the model we got sent, there’s a bug with the browser, so we can’t give it a proper proper review until that’s fixed, but in the interests of keeping you lot as informed as possible, Susi filmed some thoughts on the build of the handset, and her initial impressions.

Want one? More than an iPhone? Really? Personally, I’m not convinced just yet. Let us know your thoughts on the Storm in the comments.

SHINY VIDEO PREVIEW: Asus Bamboo Notebook

In the video above, Lucy takes us through Asus’s all-new, very green, energy-saving Bamboo laptop. It’s made almost entirely of recycled materials, and everything in it can be recycled after the laptop becomes obsolete. It’s a sustainable laptop, if you will.

SHINY VIDEO REVIEW: HP iPAQ

While Dan’s away, I’ve been pretending he’s here by playing this video in the background at all times. Now that it’s got a little repetitive for me, I thought you might fancy doing the same. It’s the new iPAQs from HP. I think they’re very nice, but why not let Dan tell you his opinion? Click play above.

VIDEO: Energy & Efficiency, episode 4

The kettle. A massive household energy absorber. Mum wants tea. Dad wants tea. You want tea, often all at different times. And sometimes, if you’re busy, you might want a coffee – all require the boiling of a kettle. It is an energy black hole.

So, how can you cut down on kettle use? Is there such a thing as an energy efficient way to generate hot water? Yes! There is! Allow me to demonstrate.

Shiny Video Review: Nokia N96

Ladies and Gentlemen, the N96 has arrived. The eagerly-anticipated follow up to the N95 and N95 8GB came out on the 1st October, and by clicking “play” on the above video, you’ll be able to see for yourself, too.

Couple of quick things to add – the PC connector isn’t as proprietary as I claim – it’s MicroUSB. Still, those connectors aren’t exactly common yet, so the point remains. Also, the phone does have Nokia Maps 2.0, I don’t think it comes installed by default. Of course, I strongly recommend using it over the rubbishy Nokia Maps 2.0.
