All is revealed! Hands on with the new Nokia N8

Posted 14 June 2010 | By Ewan | Categories: General | View Comments

Well then, the all new Nokia N8 has been revealed this morning. We had a brief introduction from the product manager and then — tah dah — we were each handed our own N8 prototype to play with. The hardware is more or less decided but the software is still under development. Here are some [...]

I was at UCL the other day. It was super to be back. I’ve not been there — properly — for a good little while. Walking down the Cloisters I came across good old Jeremy Bentham, the institution’s founder. That there *is* Bentham. Literally. He asked for his body to be stuffed and displayed after [...]

Peli Case is superb

I’ve been enjoying traveling with my new Peli 1630 flight case. It’s protected all my critical tech gear properly and I’m delighted to have everything in one place. It’s been rather cool rocking up to a hotel, getting into the room, flipping open the Peli case and seeing all my gear right there, easily accessible. [...]
