Review: Voices Is Today’s Best Thing Ever, Grab It Now While It’s Cheap

New on the App Store is Voices from the clever folk at Tap Tap Tap. You can guess what it does.

Open it up, pick a silly voice. Helium is pretty silly. A microphone appears and the app even clears your throat for you (try it, you’ll see what I mean). Now speak your brains, and [...]

Review: Sony Walkman S540 Series Video MP3 Player

Press releases, you will hardly be surprised to hear, are rarely very interesting. But one arrived in my inbox a couple of weeks ago that made me double-take.
“Sony’s S Series Walkman,” it chattered, “is a serious challenger to the iPod Nano.” Gosh, really? Perhaps the Cult had better have a look at one, then, despite [...]

    As much is Apple attuned to aesthetics of a product , the concept of ergonomics seems to completely escape them.

    I just picked up one, and I love it. It’s small enough to be a travel mouse, and my only complaint is that I would like to have more gestures. I don’t see how you could get much more ergonomic and still be hand preference agnostic.

    Magic Mouse just arrived today.
    Not as fantastic as I was hoping! Maybe it will just take some getting used to.
    It would be really good if the could add a two finger click which would launch expose! I used the ball on the mighty mouse for this and it is a major issue missing off the new magic mouse…
