Satellite Direct

Satellite Direct

Satellite Direct is a $50-software that is supposed to give thousands of HD channels distributed over the Internet. It’s a scam, and it only gives you a few channels in lousy quality. It’s basically the kind of content you can find for free on one of these sites. Stay away from Satellite Direct.

HTC Desire – 13 pages review

HTC Desire

The HTC Desire is one of the most interesting phones this spring, and even iPhone addicts seem to be interested in this phone. Here’s one of the best reviews I’ve stumbled across so far – 13 pages with lots and lots of information. And they really like it. Here’s a snap from their final verdict:

In short, this is a phenomenal phone – one of the best we’ve ever had on TechRadar. Usually when we like a phone on the first use, we end up horribly disappointed after a little time with it, but the HTC Desire kept on performing and achieving when we thought it wouldn’t.

Atari Game Cartridge Clocks

Atari Game Cartridge Clocks

Over at Geekware you can get hold of some very nice original Atari game cartridges that have been converted into desk clocks. They are $24.95 and a piece and I just bought the ‘Asteroids’ cartridge so I guess that you have to choose between the ‘Ms Pacman’ or ‘Centipede’ if you want one of these lovely clocks.

I got control – iPhone remote

I got control

‘I got control’ is a new, clever iPhone device that can turn your phone (or iPod touch / iPad) into a IR remote. The attachement measures 50mm (L) x 29.6mm (W) x 10.4mm (H) and it weighs 14 grams (half an ounce). The device has a price tag of $69.95, so it’s a bit pricey but it can be useful if you want to use your phone to take full control of your media equipment. You need to get the application from the App store as well. I guess you can have quite some fun with it too, just take it to your local sports bar and start switching the channels…

Nokia C6

Nokia C6

It looks like the first image of the new Nokia C6 has leaked out. It doesn’t look like it will be a groundbreaking phone though, and it’s probably going to be a low budget phone. We will publish more details as soon as we get any.

Internet Explorer 9 – test drive

Internet Explorer 9

A platform demo version of Internet Explorer 9 have been released by Microsoft. It’s a Windows only software but it can be of interest to see what this future browser might look like, even though there’s a lot of development to do before a final version will be officially available. To try the new browser you need Windows Vista SP2 (With Platform Upgrade) or Windows 7, and an existing Internet Explorer 8 installation.
