From Sony we have the Xperia T2, from Samsung there’s the new Galaxy S5, while HTC have brought their One M8 into the market.

We’ve had a look at each of these phones, and we are pleased to report that they can make phone calls. But what else can they do? But just how good are these phones? What are their strengths? And their weaknesses?

Listen to this week’s podcast, and you’ll know it all.

As well as the phones, we also look at the advent of in-app purchases. On Microsoft’s X-Box 1.

And yes, we have a round-up of the week’s news.

]]> Ultimate Ears Mini Boom, Mark Levenson Audio in the Lexus IS350 https://www.gadgetgrill.com.au/ultimate-ears-mini-boom-mark-levenson-audio-in-the-lexus-is350/ Tue, 01 Apr 2014 12:25:30 +0000 http://www.gadgetgrill.com.au/?p=2448 From the sublime to the ridiculous is one way to describe this week’s show.

In this week’s news coverage, as well our usual coverage of the week’s news in tech, we remind our listeners that Microsoft is ending support for Windows XP in less than two weeks. If you’re still using XP, that can mean problems for you further down the track. Interestingly, many of the ATMs in use by banks around the world are still using XP, and this may well be problematic for them.

We also discuss the new free instore WiFi offering from Woolworths. Of course, it’s not really free, and the price that you pay?

In our feature segments, we look closely at Logitech’s Ultimate Ears Mini Boom. This is a tiny bluetooth speaker that, for around the $100 mark, comes up as a very good way to listen to your audio.

And at the other end of the cost spectrum, we have a closer look at the Mark Levenson audio system that is fitted to the Lexus IS350. This is easily the most expensive audio system we’ve reviewed, and if the music you listen to while driving s important, this review should be equally important to you.

And it’s available, for your listening pleasure right here.

Once again the Gadget Grill looks at all manner of technological objects, starting with your very own personal cloud. We consider devices from Seagate, DLink and Western Digital, each of which gives you a way to have your data and keep it handy to you, even though you might be halfway around the world.

Geoff throws a few more Christmas gift ideas your way, while Gary does his best to throw Geoff a few curly questions.

And then De keeps us abreast with the latest in bras.

And it’s right here, freshly served, straight from the Grill.

]]> Windows Phone 7 Phones Nobody https://www.gadgetgrill.com.au/windows-phone-7-phones-nobody/ Sun, 07 Aug 2011 11:35:22 +0000 http://www.gadgetgrill.com.au/?p=2205 Well, the latest statistics are in, and it’s not looking all that good for Windows Phone 7.

Comscore advises that Microsoft’s share of the mobile phone space has now dropped, from 7.5% for the three months to March, to just 5.8% as at the end of June.

HTC Mozart

HTC Mozart

You may recall that when Microsoft announced this new operating system, over a year ago, we were somewhat skeptical as to whether it might have been too little, and way too late.

Just under a year ago I had my first hands-on experience with some actual hardware, and while it was very obvious that Microsoft were trying their hardest to push this as the best thing since sliced bread, I still had my reservations.

The first production versions of the hardware came, but some primary features were absent, and many people also reported crashes and a lack of general reliability. All of this is supposed to be fixed with the upcoming release of the Mango update, but there are a couple of serious questions that now need to be answered.

First of all, will Mango be enough to save Phone 7?

Second, how long will manufacturers like HTC, Nokia and Samsung be willing to invest their money in a platform that’s not paying its way? In this realm, one must wonder at what sort of subsidies Microsoft may be paying to the manufacturers in order to keep this OS alive.

But finally, does anyone, beyond Microsoft, really care?

]]> The King is Dead https://www.gadgetgrill.com.au/the-king-is-dead/ Sun, 17 Jul 2011 11:29:55 +0000 http://www.gadgetgrill.com.au/?p=2182 Or at least dying.

But not really sick, however.

Earlier this week Microsoft announced that its Windows XP operating system, probably the most successful version of Windows thus far, and perhaps the most successful operating system of all OSes (to date) was about to reach its official end of life, with all support for it ending in 1000 days – April 6, 2014, to be precise.

To be honest, I think that that’s a very generous date on the part of Microsoft – there’s no good reason why you should continue to struggle with XP – or any earlier version of Windows, when Windows 7 is just so good.

Yes, you may offer the excuse that your hardware is so old and it’s unsupported by Windows 7. Well, yes, that’s exactly what that is: it’s an excuse.

Today you can walk into any of the major stores and buy a brand you laptop PC – not just a netbook, but a laptop – for less than $400. And that system will include a version of Windows 7. Why would you not buy such a system, really?

And if you really must keep the old box running, then install a version of Linux on it; you’ll be safer, and you should be able to perform everything that you can do on your aging XP system, but with a greater level of security, better features, and a more up to date interface to boot.

And yes, it’ll still be supported, which your XP installation will not.

Please don’t come crying to us when your apps fail, or your system has a virus that you can’t remove because the OS is no longer supported. We’ll merely say that we told you so.
