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...

I paid nearly £300 for my Playstation 3. I have clocked up over 1,000 hours of game time and my collection of titles fills up two ceiling-height cupboards; that is to say, I have spent a lot of money and time on my PS3. I don’t expect it to break. Yesterday’s error, which saw PS3s across the country miserably fail to count up to 28, annoyed the Solid Snake out of me. Yeah, it was something...

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. So what did I expect when my wife dragged me along for a ‘fun’ night out at the Liverpool bingo club run by Buckingham...
