Oliver Haslam — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 23:13:44 +0000

Everyone loves LEGO, and I'm no different, so it was with great excitement that I read about Life of George, a new LEGO game that incorporates real, physical LEGO bricks with the magical (and revolutionary, of course) world of the iPhone.

Oliver Haslam — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 22:53:31 +0000

Game Center compatibility is finding its way into most games these days, and Activision’s Guitar Hero is no different.

Along with Game Center, version 1.2.0 also adds multitasking support and the less exciting ‘bug fixes’.

I’m off to find out I don’t have nearly as [...]

Oliver Haslam — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 11:58:08 +0000

If you follow me on Twitter, the chances are you read about our iPhone 3G finding its way into the washing machine on a 60 degree (Celsius) spin cycle! Much panicking ensued, and an old T-Mobile G1 was even pressed into service as a temporary device. We were not happy.

24 hours later, and I’m bored. Off [...]

If you follow me on Twitter (You DO follow me, don’t you?) you may remember I received a Powermat for review a few weeks ago. I spent a week using the device with my iPhone 3G using the Powermat case designed for the handset (sold spererately). It’s taken [...]

Apple press conference – my predictions

Oliver Haslam — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 12:12:04 +0000

As everyone on the internet seems to know, tomorrow is the day (hopefully) Apple puts the iPhone’s antenna issues to bed. Yes, they’ve tried it before but they didn’t QUITE get it right!

So what is expected to happen tomorrow?

No recall – not going to happen, no chance, nadda. *Possibly* the *chance* [...]

Dont think Apple could miss a design flaw?

Oliver Haslam — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 23:37:15 +0000

With all the hoopla surrounding the iPhone 4 and it’s ‘reception issue’ I often hear one particular argument….

“But Apple would never design something so stupid as an antenna that doesn’t work….”

To that, I must respond by pointing you, loyal reader, to Exhibit A – the iPhone 4 rubber band – I mean bumper. [...]

Why I think iPhone 4 will get an OS update

Oliver Haslam — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 16:49:07 +0000

There has been plenty of discussion about the iPhone 4 and its odd cellular behaviour. The ‘left handed reception issue’ aside, I’m finding the handset keeps dropping its service connection on a regular basis, but I *hope* it’s fixable in software.

According to people far smarter than me, a potential update could change the [...]
