Console your lost luggage grief at Heathrow Terminal Five with a 25% discount on Shure headphones
If you’re a member of the British Airways Executive Club, you would’ve received an email today announcing an “altogether unique shopping experience” at Heathrow Terminal Five.
Now, you wouldn’t get me down to Terminal Five for love or money, but if you’re an unfortunate sod who happened to book your holiday before checking the terminal at Heathrow you’re departing from, it may cheer you up slightly…

Archos announces GPS In-Car Holder for the 605 WiFi PMP
Archos is holding a launch event in London this afternoon, however I think we’ve discovered ahead of time what they’re announcing, due to all the US blogs reporting on…the new GPS In-Car Holder for the 605 WiFi!
You may remember the 605 WiFi is the PMP that wowed Gary and I in our video group test the other week. Archos’ new GPS In-Car Holder enables you to connect the PMP to your car windscreen, and update you on GPS information, including…
Five of the best ASUS Eee PC rivals, plus all the news on rumoured Eee models…
Last year, the Eee PC from ASUS launched, cementing sub-10″ ‘budget’ notebooks in the history pages forever, as other major manufacturers scrambled to keep up with their phenomenal success. Even the gadget-models at I4U News snuggled it into their boobage, as you can see!
ASUS is keeping ahead of the game, with several models already released, and more out shortly. There’s the original 7″ 4G Eee, which had a 4GB flash drive and cost £219, the French model with integrated HSDPA, a touch-screen model with boosted internal storage, and the 8.9″ Eee 900 which also has an increased memory and storage, and importantly the option of Windows XP instead of the Linux OS. Not forgetting that strange report from a few weeks ago about a desktop Eee…
There are still rumours flying around about more models, with June pointed at as a likely month for them to launch an Atom-powered machine, instead of containing a Celereon processor like before. This will give it a longer battery life, and improved performance. A 10″ model is also being planned, according to ASUS, which will hopefully be out later this year.
In the meantime, let’s take a look at the various Eee PC bandwagon-jumpers, below…
Analysts claim O2's mobile broadband is overpriced and too exclusive
It appears I wasn’t the only one concerned about O2’s mobile broadband, which launched last Friday. Analyst firm Ovum (not related to this ovum) has reported that their package is overpriced, and too exclusive.
Being available purely to existing customers who have home broadband or a SIM is akin to shooting themselves in the foot, a senior analyst, Steven Hartley, at Ovum claims. “None of the other companies make this stipulation, although 3…
Sony BMG signs on to Nokia's 'Comes With Music' unlimited download service
Whilst EMI may still be undecided about signing on to the initiative that will bundle the unlimited music download plan with Nokia handsets, Sony BMG has no qualms about joining up, with their whole catalogue of tracks available for download from the second half of 2008, when Comes With Music is expected to launch.
The unlimited plan is on offer for the first year of ownership on that mobile, with the songs downloadable via the handset or user’s PC. According to Nokia, once the year-long contract has expired, the tracks will remain playable, unlike…
Another Levi's mobile phone, this time with 3G connectivity
Late March we brought you news of an uber-limited edition Levi’s Red Tab phone, of which there were only 100 available. If you missed out on grabbing one of those, then jump over the Channel to France, where this 3G model will be available at the end of the month.
Distrubuted by Orange, it’s got 3G and EDGE connectivity, a 2.0-megapixel camera, microSD card slot, and the usual MP3-playback facilities. Bluetooth…

Samsung officially announces the Soul handset, but do we still care, two months later?
We may’ve first heard about this phone in early February, however it’s taken Samsung until today to officially announce it for their European market.
Hopefully you can remember the specs, but admittedly there has been an awful lot of releases since then, so here’s a quick round-down. The HSDPA GPRS/EDGE Tri-Band handset features a 5.0-megapixel camera with LED flash…
Alanis Morissette releases single on Motorola W270 phone, now isn't that ironic, don't you think?
Alanis Morissette must’ve turned green with envy when Ricky Martin collaborated with Kingston to release some new tracks on a USB stick, as it’s just been announced she’s teamed up with Motorola to offer the song ‘Underneath’ on the W270 phone.
It’ll be in the form of a preloaded track on the W270, and will be a sneak peek at the angsty songstress’s album being released in June. Sadly (for the diehard Alanis fans) it’ll only be available in Brazil, where it will…
