If you want to keep track of your Google Analytics facts’n'figures on the move, you’ll be hard pushed to find anything more comprehensive as the Analytix app for Android phones and tablets.
If you’re fed up with the puny sound coming from your phone’s built-in speaker, or the less than hi-fi noise coming out of your smartphone dock, it might be time to invest in a wireless music receiver like Nokia’s swishy offering.
With the year almost up, we thought we’d have a rummage through our stats to see which posts proved the most popular in 2011, and were a little surprised to find our photography articles proving the most read.
Last year, Amazon’s Kindle eReader was the runaway must-have Christmas gift, and Amazon look to have scored another hit with its cheaper successor, first announced in October 2011.
Released in time for the festive rush, the new Kindle shaves £60 off the price of the original and makes up a much smaller and lighter package.
Old school headphones seem to be enjoying something of a revival, with all sorts of hip names putting out heavily branded (and often comically oversized) headphones.
If in-ear ‘phones aren’t your thing. there’s a huge range of headphones available around the hundred quid mark, and we’ve selected what we believe to be the two very best ones you can buy.
Billed as “delivering the best file sharing experience ever,” the Drobo FS network attached storage (NAS) box lets you slide in as many as five hard drive, so you just add more storage as your needs grow.
Sounds great? Well it is. Sorta.
Launching in the US on Saturday – but with no UK release scheduled - early reviews of Amazon’s ground breaking new $200 Kindle Fire tablet have been coming in, with most critics impressed at the abilities of the budget Android-powered package.
Sporting deliciously old-school retro looks that give it that 1960s street-shooter look, Fujifilm’s X10 enthusiast compact camera has just had an early hands on preview from the folks at DPReview.
We have to admit that our eyebrows raised a tad when we heard that Sony were releasing their Sony NEX-7 compact dSLR sporting a frankly ludicrous-sounding 24MP sensor.
Respected photo site, The Luminous Landscape, managed to get one of just seven pre-production samples released to reviewers, and their first impressions have proved to be very, very enthusiastic indeed. It looks like Sony have a real winner on their hands!

If you make music at home or you want to put a voiceover onto your Youtube video you’ll know that recording the human voice in a normal room can sound really REALLY rubbish.
You could hide yourself and your microphone under a duvet for some hot sweaty bedroom action. Or you can try some of the various gadgets that claim to improve things by doing a bit of “sound treatment” around the microphone itself.
So, the LaCie 2TB external hard drive which we wrote such nice things about last year has started to make really nasty clicking noises, less than a year into its life.
The noises weren’t the normal sound of a hard drive going about its business, mind, but big, loud, clunky, teeth-grating, mechanical noises that almost always spell impending doom. So we immediately got in touch with the manufacturers.
To capture those summer holiday moments, you can’t go wrong with a decent super-zoom camera and in our eyes, you won’t find a better mix of features, high quality optics and all round performance than the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100.
Elbowing its way into the space currently occupied by the likes of HTC’s budget priced Wildfire handset, the Samsung is wolf-whistling cash-strapped folks looking to move up to a smartphone.
When we’re not hammering down on our keyboard we’re often to be found thumping away at our Pearl Traveller drum kit downstairs, and after a bizarre gardening accident destroyed our last bass drum pedal, we were in the market for an affordable replacement.
At just £25, pedals don’t come much cheaper than the Tiger, and although we’d read quite a few positive reviews online, we weren’t expecting too much at such a bargain basement price.
We’ve lost count of the amount of weather apps that we’ve installed over the years, and although the fantastic Palmary Weather PRO remains our #1 fully fledged weather app, the widget wasn’t quite getting our meteorological muse going.
After trawling through the depths of the Android Market and rejecting one hopeful contender after another, we finally clapped our eyes on what has emerged as as our new favourite weather widget: the Aix Weather Widget.
