Let’s Talk About The Galaxy S3
Friday May 4th 2012, 7:23pm

Ooh, but I do like it. In my opinion, the best Android phone available at the moment. I say this not having used one, or the closest competitor, the HTC One X. So what’s it like? There’s a smashing Super AMOLED HD screen, 4.8″ and 720p resolution. I expect it to be at least as good [...]

Three More
Thursday May 3rd 2012, 8:42pm

I got another call from Three today. Following yesterday’s phone call where I spoke to technical support, and they escalated my problem to the higher technical support level, I didn’t expect to have to go through exactly the same experience again today. That’s right, they called me so I could explain my problem to yet another person, [...]

More Three
Wednesday May 2nd 2012, 5:36pm

The lady I spoke to on Friday called to see if my issue had been resolved. Maybe there were some crossed wires there. Either way she called. Unfortunately I had to tell her that my issue had not been resolved and that I had been told it would never be resolved. She said “Oh”, there [...]

Today the saga continues. I am now in contact with the Twitter based Three technical support team. That team have just informed me that data is unavailable over 2G. Once again I’ll just point out that it did have data over 2G a week ago, and that I’ve got another phone currently with a Three [...]

Falling Out Of Love With Three
Tuesday May 1st 2012, 8:18pm

If you’re a listener of Tech It Or Leave It, you’ll know that in general we’re big fans of the mobile network Three. They do have the fastest data coverage in the UK, so if you’re a serious smartphone user then you’ll probably end up giving them a look over when you’re looking for a [...]

Tuesday April 24th 2012, 6:27pm

Google finally got things together and launched their new product today, it’s called Google Drive. This is Google’s DropBox type product (or feature as Steve Jobs would have called it). I’ve got it installed and set up now, and I’m ready to have an opinion.

I Said NO Apple Console
Thursday April 19th 2012, 10:02pm

Look, this is all coming about because people are trying to come up with the product that Apple are going to “revolutionise” next, and because some dude thought he saw Tim Cook at Valve’s offices. If there’s a pure Apple game console I’ll eat my shoe. Really. Cleverer men than me have done it. The [...]

From a Truck to a Mini
Sunday April 8th 2012, 6:10pm

A wise man once compared computers to trucks. The idea was that big computers are like trucks. Once lots of people used to have them, but it turned out that most people would be better off with a car. When Steve Jobs said it, he was talking about the iPad. It’s a device that takes [...]
