I’ve already revealed my thoughts on the iPhone 4. As a quick follow-up, I’d just like to say that I’ve now replaced my iPhone 3GS with its sexier younger sister and it’s done me proud so far. Touch wood, I’ve yet to experience any of the problems which have befallen other users (lack of signal, mainly) but it’s worked a treat for me. So now Apple have just released...

So the iPhone 4 announcement got me thinking. Sure, the handset is very nice and everyone is very thrilled that it now measures up at just under a centimetre – making it one of the slimmest smart phones ever released and good amount thinner than my HTC HD2 and iPhone 3GS.

Today, however, there are more broadband users on the planet than ever before, meaning the web is an increasingly...

Of all the places you’d expect to see technological advancement, bingo clubs are not the first that would normally spring to mind. Even online bingo sites are pretty basic, just offering players a straightforward portal into a non-tactile version of the popular pastime.
