Amazon tablet on the way? Look out Kindle!

Let me preface this by saying, I love my Amazon Kindle. It’s light, works outside in natural light (unlike my iPad) and the ‘Whispernet’ function is fantastic for purchasing books on the fly. Rumours are now flying that Amazon is going to introduce an Android based tablet, actually maybe a couple (in different sizes). If Amazon do release a ‘Kindle tablet’,...

Apple iPad 2 launch Australia-March-25

Not long to go until the iPad 2 launches in Australia, the release date being March 25. The odd thing is Apple has chosen to begin selling the iPad 2 in their stores at 5pm on that day. I’ll be getting mine (hopefully) from the Robina Store. That store usually closes at 5.30pm, so let’s assume it will be opening later. So another weird / cool thing… The iPad 2 is cheaper (leaked...

New Mac gear on the horizon Why do you do this to me Mr Jobs?

As a HUGE Apple fangirl (yes I was an Apple fangirl before it became popular to be so), when new Apple gear is rumoured I immediately get excited.

As with all car concepts, just don’t expect to see it in a car...

New Mac App Store Launches- Big Apple or Rotten Apple?

Mac App Store Now Live in Australia So today the new Mac App Store came out and of course all the lovely little Mac geeks like myself jumped on the opportunity to investigate further. For those of you who have no idea what the App store is about and why all the fuss, think of it like the iPhone App Store, but on your desktop or laptop, complete with it’s own icon in the dock. The whole...

Costume Quest video game thoughts sometimes less is more

I’ve been playing a video game called “Costume Quest” on XBLA (Xbox Live Arcade). The game is set on Halloween night, and characters Reynold and Wren – brother and sister – head out trick-or-treating to make new friends. The brother and sister dynamic is clever as the game plays the same, but you get to choose male or female hero, something many games still fail to...
