Buying A Home Wireless Router
Buying a home wireless router is about as chaotic and confusing a shopping experience as you will ever encounter. Walk down the aisle where some distracted clerk points you and you’ll see boxes marked cryptically as G, N and N+. And then another bunch of codes like 150, 300 and 600 as well as some…

Youlu Address Book
The Contact Application that ships with most Symbian smartphones has always been a bit lame. At the basic level, all you need is the ability to search for your contact, and (video-)call / sms / MMS that person. If that contact is not already stored in your contact list, you can just enter a new…
What is Your Optimal Screen Size For A Mobile Device
A mobile device is called ‘mobile’ because the intention is for it to be taken with you and not carried about. We want to be able to flash out that device in an instant, check something on the web, and return it to our pocket. In referring to ‘mobile device’, I am referring to anything…
Android On Your PC !
Even with the flurry of activities in the tablet form factor sector, it is hardly surprising that Nigeria seems to have been sidelined.Not for lack of interest but largely due to the prohibitive price tags placed on these devices.

Singin’ The Blues
It has taken me a while to really digest the implication of Nokia's collab with Microsoft as regards adopting Windows phone 7 as its future flagship platform. Personally, the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2011 was a little disappointing as there was nothing specular that was unveiled other than a bunch of "see-one, see-all" phones but…
Xoom! Xoom!! Xoom!!!
BestBuy caused quite a stir on Sunday 13 February, 2011 when it listed the Motorola Xoom for pre-order at a staggering price of US$1,200 (NGN192,000), a far cry from the expected $800 (NGN128,000) price tag. While we assume this was a slip as it has been yanked off the site, even the initial rumoured listing…
