Mad Catz C.T.R.L.i Bluetooth Controller

ub3rg33k

I really do love my Apple devices, however as a gamer I do feel they have been lacking behind other companies for controller support. Back when iOS7 was released, Apple added the MFi controller API, allowing games developers to have games controlled from an external device instead of the touchscreen, I seem to remember there were two specs, one was quite a simplistic controller, and the second was more like we’ve become accustomed to with home consoles. It’s been over a year since iOS7 was released and we’re only now starting to see decent bluetooth controllers filtering through. As I’ve used … Continue reading Mad Catz C.T.R.L.i Bluetooth Controller

Apple iPad Air

My old trusty iPad 2 was starting to get a little long in the tooth. It was fine for browsing and most apps, but compared to C’s iPad 4, it was noticeably slower, and the lack or retina screen made me want to upgrade. Due to the ‘No New Shiny for a Year Challenge‘ I wasn’t able to pick up an iPad 4 when C did, so I’ve been looking in envy for the last 12 months. So the October Apple media event happened, and as expected a higher specced version of the iPad was announce, and I was instantly … Continue reading Apple iPad Air

Like most I’m always very sceptical about these ‘free data’ offers, well that was until I took the plunge and tried one. My ad based free data provider of choice was Samba, which you gain free mobile data for simply watching a few ads. Ok, so this is how it works, you initally pay for your SIM card (standard size of Micro Sim) or SIM card + Dongle, and that’s it. The SIM card is a one off charge of £5 (or £2.50 via the referral link), and the SIM Card and USB dongle is a one off charge of … Continue reading Samba Mobile, the no brainer.

Apple iPad 2

As you know, I already have the original iPad, or should I say, I had the original iPad (C is now the proud owner of a shiny, carefully used, original iPad). I decided that due to my iPad 2 shipping early (the 9th, and not the 15th that they originally stated), and C was working away for a week, I could survive a couple of days without the iPad and handed it over on Friday night. To be honest, you don’t realise how dependant you become on tech, I felt like I’d lost a limb…..that was until today when my iPad … Continue reading Apple iPad 2

Finally bought an iPad

ub3rg33k

As with most things Apple, I’ve been toying with the idea of getting an iPad since I knew of their existence, however was always put off by the lack of multi tasking, however the recent release of iOS 4.2.1 has fixed that problem. In the recent tech news, there are already a lot of rumours flying around about the iPad 2, suggesting it will have a USB port, a front facing camera, a rear 8 Megapixel camera, carbon fibre back, etc etc. With all these reports, and the release of the new OS, the iPad is back onto my radar. … Continue reading Finally bought an iPad
