The Hudl – a tablet for your children?

But if you’re looking for an entry-level tablet for your child, the hudl might just be the answer. It is equipped with a modest 7” screen; perfect for smaller hands to handle without risk of dropping. It has a 1.5GHz Processor,...

My husband is much less of a man than he used to be. Literally.

When you’ve been married for twenty years, it’s rather easy to become… comfortable.

If you’re looking for a new phone… The HTC ONE mini review

When Vodafone heard we were embarking on our mammoth Scottish Road Trip for One Off Places and VW, they asked if I’d like to take along a new HTC phone to try out along the way. Seeing as my 6yr old Blackberry seems to think its job in life is to make phone calls and nothing else, I decided a borrow of a new HTC would be just the ticket, thanks very much.
