Having tried out Apple’s super-premium set of ‘truly wireless’ earbuds for a week or so, I thought it would be good to put fingers to keyboard, and write a summary of my thoughts regarding them. Call it a review (or not) if you like, but I think considering what value something is providing for you after 7-10 days of usage, is a good time to be looking at things....!

Review: Apple TV 4K



Following Apple's 4K Apple TV, I was curious to see exactly what they would bring to the market - so I ordered one!

Chromecast - First Thoughts

So, yesterday I got my hands on the UK version of Google Chromecast, on the morning of its launch day.

I couldn't sit down and play with it until the evening, but the nice lady in Currys/PC World informed me that I was the first person to get one from the store that day - from what was quite a small concession area plopped right in the middle of the store - a retail Big Bang, this was not!

In the evening, I was able to sit down and get the device working. So first a bit on the unboxing experience...
