Prior to moving away from iOS and the iPad I had taken to streaming my podcast videos over 3G to avoid having to use iTunes. Unfortunately, I did exceed the 10GB allowance on my plan one month which meant I incurred excess usage charges which has turned me off from using it as my primary …

Perhaps one of the thing that tech bloggers and journalists find very handy when covering mobile devices is the ability to capture screenshots. Windows Phone 7 was heavily criticised for a lack of native screenshot capability which has thankfully been rectified in Windows Phone 8. Anyway, with the release of Windows RT for tablets one …

However, one thing that has remained is the persistent incompatibility between them …

Personal Video Recorders (PVRs) are becoming more common these days in the form of things like the TiVo, Optus MeTV and the Foxtel IQ and IQ2 devices just to name a few. The ability to record and timeshift content is a great convenience when there are regular programming clashes involving the shows you really want …

We might have come to expect that Microsoft can be a little slow in catching up to the competition (perhaps to avoid antitrust suits by innovating too quickly) but it appears that Microsoft will finally add two major features to IE10 when it ships with Windows 8 as well as being released for Windows 7. …
