My inital toe dipping a few years ago into services like Napster and Microsoft's Zune/Xbox market were extremley lacklustre. Overseas services that ...

The new iPod touch is exactly like that new iPhone you might have heard about, only quite a bit thinner — and the iPod nano? Well, that's like the small media player ...

Having recently reviewed Logitech's excellent Ultrathin iPad keyboard case, I was very keen to also try their new solar-powered option. Rather than make a thicker version of the ultra thin just with a solar cells, Logitech designers have crafted a totally different product that eschews the metal backing of the Ultrathin for soft rubber and faux-leather materials in a folio design that does provide more comprehensive all round protection for ...
