There are only 26 letters in the alphabet and yet no two people have the same handwriting or signature. Handwriting is as unique as a fingerprint and an unconscious habit in which we leave our identity in subtle characteristics. The slant of one’s writing, the size, pressure and positioning on the page all reveal how [...]

There is a saying that everyone has a book inside them, but finding the time and the inspiration to put that book together means most of those books are never born. However, according to Blurb, that’s no excuse. Blurb are the guys that let anyone make a real book using the company’s software. Here at GnG, [...]

So you have a super expensive MP3 player or iPhone 4. You want earphones to match their quality! I’m never normally satisfied with earphones that come with audio products as standard. iPhone earphones are especially bad considering the price of the units. I’ve recently had the pleasure of trying Sennheiser’s IE6 earphones and boy has [...]

First thoughts upon hearing I would [...]

Having read part 1 of this review, you’ll know that as a teenager, I was a little bit of a Sony fan girl. Although, with the introduction of Apple’s iPod I was swayed. It wasn’t until recently, whilst writing for my blog, that I really got back in touch with what Sony have been doing, [...]

But isn’t Gaming on Your Smart Phone a Waste of Time? You – you are a busy bee.  You are a woman of multi-tasking, to-do lists and complex priorities.

Despite driving for for nearly 10 years and being a total gadget girl, it might come as some surprise to you that I’ve never owned a GPS Satellite Navigation System. I’ve always thought there’s something reassuring about paper maps and the fact that it can be quite fun to be navigated around the middle of [...]

As a gadget blogger, I’ve been lucky enough to review some great technology over the last few years and attend various product launches and shows as a guest of several tech companies.

Our guest blogger Gary Kemp puts Sony’s latest wireless headphones through their paces. Before I start the review proper, a confession: I have never seen the point of cordless headphones.

Everyone loves a picture moment… And although digital cameras are great and everything, nothing has ever really beaten a poloroid for momentary pics – for me at least! There’s something exciting about watching your photo develop in front of your eyes, not to mention the unnecessary flapping around! I’m a sucker for anything that’s ‘retro’ and Poloroid [...]

Do you not find there’s an earphones overload on the market these days?

For months I’ve been looking for an MP3 player that’s small, discrete, good quality but not Apple. I initially thought about getting one of the small Apple shuffles, however, my dislike of iTunes put me off that pretty quickly – I’m more of a simple drag and drop kind of girl – I have the [...]

The iPhone 4 is so cool it practically sold out before it even hit the shops. At £500 a pop, it’s not cheap…but every time Steve Jobs presents something new in a typically Apple over-the-top video you can’t help but drool. Only 10% of retail outlets in the UK actually received any stock of the phone [...]

Livescribe Pulse Smartpen When you get the pen out the box, you may be disappointed, it’s not exactly the prettiest pen on the market, it’s quite bulky and is in effect a glorified biro. However initial appearances don’t take into account of what the pen can actually do. It has an infrared camera in its snout, a [...]

Thinking about my earliest Social Media memories, I remember one warm summer night in 1994 in Sweden. My good friend Zeljko ran the networks for the publishing house we both worked for, but then I’ve always liked geeks. He was a really clever guy from Croatia who I totally fancied. We used and developed the [...]
