Steve Jobs to give Macworld a miss in 2009 – and forever after too
If you have apple-shaped tears, prepare to shed them now. Steve Jobs will not be hosting this year’s keynote at Macworld. Soz, and if that one hurt, this one could kill – this will be the last year Apple is going to bother with the San Francisco expo at all…
Toasty Charger – totally useless design, solves no problem, just like it
The Toasty Charger is one of those concepts that I just can’t help writing about even though it’s utter nonsense. There is nothing useful about charging up your mobile phone battery in a power adapter that works like toaster…

Geek hacks gadget to play terrible version of Doom in an even more terrible way – brilliant
If you’re wondering why on Earth someone would want to play the iPhone version of Doom through the video out function of the handset and onto an old Apple II monochrome screen…
Carphone Warehouse giving away free mobile phones on PAYG
Yesterday they cost less than a pint of beer, today they cost nothing at all. Yes, the Carphone Warehouse is giving away PAYG mobile phones for free…
LimbGear Noggin Net skullcap and earbuds – not religious or ethnic in any way
When I first read that LimbGear was releasing an mp3-enabled skullcap, I pictured a niche market of rockin’ rabbis. Sorry to disappoint but that is not the case.
Apparently “skullcap” is an Americanism for a beanie type hat and the one of note today is the Noggin Net. But that just made me think of Latino gangsters. Again, this was a mistake. With the benefit of the image above, we can see that it’s a normal hat with a little pocket clearly market for mp3 player…

Casio Pro Trek 1500 – tells the time, the temp, the tides and something about the Moon
I love a good watch. Well, sort of. I actually hate them. Never wear them. Just plain don’t like the feeling round my wrist, which is why I’ve just spent £120 on one but that’s a matter for another time.
The fact is that watches are probably the all time classic gadget long before the advent of the mobile phone. So, how does the new Casio Pro Trek 1500 measure up? Well, let’s start at the beginning. It looks good. It looks like the kind of watch…
SHINY VIDEO REVIEW: BlackBerry Curve 8900
Whether you know it as the Curve, the Javelin or 8900, the handset’s the same and it still doesn’t support 3G for some unknown reason. On the other hand, according to Zara it’s not bad and, for a phone I had no particular interest in, I’m quite impressed by the review…
Motorola W180 for £2.88 at the Carphone Warehouse – just reach down the back of the sofa
Those without a mobile phone no longer have any excuse. You can now get one for less than a London pint. Yes, for a £2.88 – which I believe was the price of McDonald’s meals when they first came out when I were a lad – you can get yourself a Motorola W180 from the Carphone Warehouse. What a joke.
The really funny part is that the handset isn’t actually that bad at all…
