Two Weeks with the Apple iPhone 4S
I’m just going to focus on a couple of things here, because you know what this phone is and what it can do. Siri Speaks Kiwi Yes she does, and pretty well at that. Siri is the best voice recognition system I’ve used on a phone. Apart from the occasional weird word (“egg” comes to [...]
Review: Vestax Spin DJ Controller
Have you ever eyed up those guys behind the decks, looking so cool with one headphone tucked against their shoulder? Ok well I have. Stop laughing
This Week: Cars, Boats, and More
A week in the crazy life of a part-time technology reviewer. This one includes cars, boats, and MC Hammer.
Canon EOS 5Dmkii is “Life Changing”
Popphoto.com confirms my amateur gut-feel with a more detailed, scientific review, and comes to the conclusion that the new 5D is the shizzle. So there you have it. Thankfully my drooling and fawning on TVNZ Breakfast this morning has been backed up by a real review!
Three Cameras, Three First Impressions
Casio Exilim FH20 Interesting camera. The high-speed movie modes are really fun to play with, and the 20x zoom is a useful addition that helps with framing difficult shots.

I’m part-way through writing up full reviews for the games that featured on my segment on TVNZ Breakfast this morning, but in the meantime you can find these ones: Star Wars: Force [...]
Star Wars: Force Unleashed: Barrels of Fun
I?m not a massive Star Wars nerd. I have seen all six of the movies, regardless of how badly I want to un-see the last one, but I wouldn?t know the name of any Wookie other than Chewbacca, or even how to bulls-eye a womprat in my T-16. Having said that, I do enjoy a [...]
