Vodafone - Mobile broadband dongles and deals
In theory Vodafone has the fastest 3G network. In practice it's a different story it seems, Vodafones favourite quote is "* Top speeds can vary significantly." If you're in a major city or built up area this could very well be a replacement to home broadband, If you're not in one the high speed areas then you won't get anywhere near 7.2mbps. "You also get the fastest mobile broadband around, fantastic reliability and a network that covers 80% of the UK population. That's fact. The LCC said we're significantly faster and more reliable than other operators. And they should know - they're the world's largest independent wireless engineering company." A little snippet from the website, I totally agree on the reliability but as said earlier unless you're in one of the high speed areas you won't get that speed, to check if you are eligible for their high speed service you can use our coverage checker by clicking here!

In the coming months, other operators are expected to announce further adjustments in the number of prepaid lines generated by the same prepay user ID obligation.

20 January 2010 - Apple Tablet rumor roundup: summer 2010 edition
Before we get into the rumors, here's a fact: unless the Apple Tablet cures cancer, global warming and obesity in one fell swoop, there'll be plenty of disappointed faces leaving the Yerba Buena theater next Wednesday. The hype is that overpowering. But hey, that doesn't mean we are not curious to know what it will actually do, so let's get to the latest batch of uncorroborated scuttlebutt. The Rumor: The Mac Observer believes these are legitimate photos of a 10-inch glass front for Apple's new machine. Coming from a "trusted source," the pictures seem to confirm a 10-inch screen size and an iPhone-inspired design (which includes an earphone hole!). In the pic to the side, you can see it resting atop a unibody MacBook Pro's keyboard for...
