Logitech’s Squeezebox series of devices have ranged from “hmmm, interesting,” to “wow, that’s pretty cool” in the past, and the new Squeezebox Radio ($200) is definitely in the “cool” category. We’ve been playing with it today, and apart from some little issues—ones that won’t bother some people—we’re so impressed by the little Wi-Fi Internet Radio and speaker unit that…

iPhone on Orange in the UK
28 Sep 2009 | 12:22 pmOrange has reached an agreement to sell Apple's popular iPhone in the UK. The deal ends an exclusive arrangement between UK network operator O2 and the Californian phone maker, which has been in place since 2007. Orange said its customers would be able to buy the phone "later this year" but did not specify a date or pricing. However, analysts said that in markets where there was already competition there was little difference in handset prices but small variations in tariffs. "There's not a lot they can do - they are subsidising the hardware, so they can't afford to do much on the tariff,"… -
iPhone GPS app market heating up
28 Sep 2009 | 9:37 amThe iPhone GPS app market unleashed by the release of the iPhone 3.0 software update is getting more interesting by the day, with several developers in an arms race to add new features to their initial offerings. Taking the lead in the GPS app race is Navigon MobileNavigator, which recently added support for spoken street names—a major failing in the three apps that I previewed in a Macworld Video last month. My own in-car navigation box doesn’t even speak street names (other than numbered freeways), and it sure makes a big difference. To read the full article about the new "Mobile… -

New iPod Nano: Tiny Package, Big Features
18 Sep 2009 | 9:55 amPhysics, schmysics: That’s what Apple seems to be saying when it comes to the company’s latest iPod Nanos, introduced by Steve Jobs in San Francisco. The new Nanos are pixies just like their predecessors. The designs are identical: 3.6 inches tall, 1.5 inches wide and less than a quarter-of-an-inch thick. As before, I suspect most buyers will use the Nano mainly for music, though it can also show movies, TV shows, pictures and more. For more information on the New Nano, Click Here

Memorex, yes, the people who made those see-through audio cassettes back in the day, have unleashed their latest iPod dock on the world in the form of the Memorex Sound System. But should this grab your attention? The Memorex Sound System is conservatively designed and constructed from solid-feeling plastics, but lacks the premium looks that some docks give you. It stands approx 15cm high, is 35cm wide and 12cm deep, so is larger than some others too. It does have an output of 30 Watts RMS, however, from stereo drivers and tweeter domes, which sit behind… -

Alternatively, the patent suggests, "if the external device is a telephone, the availability of a recording function could make it possible… -

The Lecci Mini Mixer is basically a two-channel mixer that allows you to crossfade between a couple of audio sources. Those sources could be iPods, CD players, laptops - anything that outputs to a 3.5mm jack. There's gain controls on both, a great big crossfader, and cue buttons so that you can check what a track sounds like before switching to it. Output is to either an audio-out jack or there's an internal speaker if… -

‘The Settlers’ From Gameloft Available Now
6 Nov 2009 | 9:42 pmWe reported of The Settlers coming to the iPhone just this week, and I was totally taken aback by its arrival into the App Store. The Settlers is a game on the lines of real-time strategy and Age of Empires, and it originally was created in 1993 for the Amiga systems. Later on, it was developed on the PC and the DS, and the DS version seemed to receive some pretty negative reviews. The iPhone version for The Settlers is based on The Settlers IV for the PC, so it shouldn’t be anywhere near as sloppy as the DS version. According to the App Store description, the iPhone version… -
Command and Conquer: Red Alert Review: Warning, Please Back Away
6 Nov 2009 | 6:10 pmI mentioned this before, but I think it’s worth mentioning again. You know the iPhone has grown into something more than just a mobile device when games like Command and Conquer: Red Alert come to the iPhone. We’ve seen some other AAA titles also, but Command and Conquer seemed to be one of my most anticipated ones. Being a puzzle and strategy fan myself, real-time strategy games are a genre that the iPhone needs more of, and we’ve seen it work through Vogster Entertainment’s Robocalypse. This doesn’t seem to be the case with C&C for iPhone, and while… -

6 Nov 2009 | 6:12 amGameloft is still going full speed ahead with one game release after another, and after their racer Asphalt 5 was released, more games have been released and/or announced than before. Along with Castle Frenzy, Gameloft has announced their upcoming RTS The Settlers based on the PC game series. From the video, it seems like it can be deducted that The Settlers will be some sort of RTS. It also looks as if it will play very similarly to Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution along with Age of Empires. While this is pure speculation, the game does look good nonetheless. For more… -

While I’m not a huge adventure game fan myself, fans of Myst and Secrets of Monkey Island should feel at home with this one. First of all, I would suggest you start deleting the games you don’t play or clearing up some space. Secrets of Mystery Island takes up a whopping 704 MB, and at the time of download that size should double. If you aren’t able to download the… -
Gameloft’s Upcoming Title ‘Castle Frenzy’
5 Nov 2009 | 5:50 amI thought Bailout Wars was enough for a good few hours. It seems that this isn’t the case for Gameloft, who plans on releasing yet another castle defense game codenamed Castle Frenzy. This game pits you against knights in shining armor along with other types of enemies, totaling to around 10 different baddies to fling around. Castle Frenzy also promises some of the best 3D graphics on the iPhone, and it definitely seems to show in the video. The production values seem to be a little bit higher than that of Bailout Wars, and I can only guess the price of this castle defense game…
