Last month, I installed Norton Internet Security 2009 on my primary desktop PC, a Dell XPS-420.
I received the software from Edelman, Symantec’s PR agency in the UK, and I’m using it in that PC instead of McAfee Security Center that I’ve been using on all my PCs for the past year.

Well, I’m sure the folk at mobile operator 3 and 3mobilebuzz will [...]

What a palaver with this Xda Orbit 2 car kit!
After some Twitter exchanges today, fellow blogger-tester Sarah Blow posted a video in response to mine at the weekend re the difficulties I’m having in getting the phone cradle to fit with the pole thingy.

Last Monday, I received an Xda Orbit 2 mobile phone courtesy of mobile operator O2 and their ad agency VCCP.
So I’ve been playing with this gadget all week, trying it out mostly with wifi. It’s very nice indeed.

I’ve acquired these phones over the past four months. From left – Nokia N95 8GB; 3 Skypephone; O2 Cocoon; Cubic Telecom Personal.
The odd one out is the Nokia – that’s my primary phone, the one that comes with my Vodafone deal. I have the other three on loan in order to play with them [...]
