Kingston Wi-Drive Review

In the final review of this series on Kingston storage solutions for smartphones and tablets, I'll be putting the Wi-Drive portable wireless storage through its paces. We've already seen the DataTraveler microDuo and the MobileLite Wireless so what's the Wi-Drive's niche? It's definitely the most stylish; let's take a look. The Wi-Drive is a slim shiny unit that's very similar

Kingston MobileLite Wireless Review

Last week I reviewed Kingston's microDuo which is a great solution if your smartphone or tablet supports OTG. Unfortunately, many devices don't and if yours falls into this category, Kingston can still help you with both the MobileLite Wireless and the Wi-Drive. In this review, I'll be checking out the MobileLite Wireless and will follow up with the Wi-Drive later

TP-Link 3G Mobile WiFi and Power Bank Review

The TP-Link 3G Mobile WiFi and 5200 mAh Power Bank (M5360) combines two of the handiest portable accessories - a 3G wireless hotspot and a USB battery pack - into a single unit.

While replacing drives in the previous generation of LinkStations was easy, it's good to see this being offered as an option from the start. GNC has reviewed several Buffalo units

Motorola Moto G Smartphone Review

In the last few months, Motorola has returned to the smartphone spotlight with the Moto X and the Moto G. While the X currently isn't available in the UK (though there's a hotly-tipped press event in London this week), the Moto G follows the underrated Razr, Razr Maxx and variants that have been released since 2011, eschewing the Droid slider in

Philips Hue and IFTTT

In my first post on Philips Hue, I referred to "The Internet of things" where normally dumb devices such as fridges and washing machines are connected to the network. Having a washing machine with an IP address may mean that I can check whether the spin cycle has finished without getting out of my chair, but the real value of
