TV programmes debuted on the UK iTunes store today. At the moment you can buy (for £1.89) programming from ABC, Disney and MTV amongst others. More info here.
Until we see some BBC and Channel 4 programmes on there, I don’t think this will really go mainstream, although some big shows like Ugly Betty and Grey’s [...]

The Times is reporting today that O2 has won the battle to be the carrier for the iPhone in the UK. That’s good news for me as I’m on O2, and can’t wait to get my iPhone - I haven’t upgraded my ‘phone now for like 2 and a half years!
However, I’m not going to [...]

The iPhone arrives in the US next week. And still no word about when it’s going to arrive on these shores. I’ve had my current ‘phone for two and a half years now and it’s beginning to suck. But I don’t want to sign up for a new 12 month contract before the iPhone arrives.
If [...]

I think this might be the most exciting post I ever write! I have been busy this week getting to grips with new household appliances. I got a new washing machine / tumble dryer delivered on Wednesday after successfully managing to disconnect the old one without entirely flooding my flat. It seems extremely complicated (as [...]

My sister Ailse got a new laptop this week - her first Mac, a Macbook. I’ve had a Mac for a while now, so I helped her set it up with some stuff that I think is pretty useful, but which you might not know about if you’ve just got your first Mac. Here’s what [...]

CBS News has a great video (above) which shows off the iPhone and all that it can do. Check it out - if like me - you can’t wait to get your hands on one yourself! The Guardian says that the ‘phone could be available in the UK by October. Still too long to wait [...]

Well Apple’s iPhone was finally announced today after years of speculation! I was really hoping it would be available straight away in the US, and unlocked, as I’m off to Dallas next week.
But, it looks like it won’t be out until June, and the only carrier signed up with it at the moment is Cingular, [...]

The American iTunes store is great - you can get TV shows (often before they air here), a bigger selection of music and music videos, and movies too. Unfortunately you can’t buy stuff in the US store unless you have a credit card registered to a US address. Or can you?
Well yes you can… here’s [...]

One of the great (free) things to come out of Apple’s big announcement last week, was an upgrade of iTunes to version 7. Part of this means that you can now buy additional games such as Tetris to put on your iPod! I used to be addicted to Tetris, so couldn’t resist buying it, and [...]
