Amazon Kindle now available to pre-order for the UK
Wednesday, October 07, 2009
Wow that is just awesome news for early morning on Wednesday October 7th. Amazon just put up news that the Kindle is now available to pre-order to UK addresses. That is the slight catch, you have to order it from their US website (www.amazon.com) and they ship it over here, soon after the October 19th release date. All for just $279, a pretty decent price considering the exchange rate at the moment. The bad news is that we cannot (yet) order the Kindle DX... maybe that'll happen sooner rather than later.
Here are some UK specific details;

More great reviews forthcoming including Home Cinema
Monday, April 27, 2009
Over the next month or so expect to see a greater variety of reviews on the website. I do not know where I find the time to do all the videos! To add to the mix, I will be bringing you a full review of a superb home cinema projector. Bringing the big screen into your home need not break the bank. It is now very affordable, with some stunning results at under the £500 mark. I will take a look at setting up, connecting your DVD, Blu-Ray or games console and how to use it either every day, or for those special occasions. Imagine playing the likes of PES 2009 with massive on-screen players and awesome surround sound! Keep an eye on the website for the full review.Labels: General News
Epson Stylus Photo R2880 Printer Review coming soon
Tuesday, April 21, 2009
In the next month I will be bringing you a definitive review of the Epson Stylus Photo R2880 printer. This is a little different for me, as the R2880 is of great interest for more than one reason. My passion for photography will marry up to this product well, if it delivers on its promises.It uses Epson UltraChrome K3 inks with vivid magenta, which should produce some stunning photo prints. Also on board are three blacks, a standard one, a light black and a light light black, so fine art prints should look really fantastic. Epson quotes "UltraChrome K3 ink has improved print permanence characteristics that provide lightfastness ratings of up to 108 years for color and over 200 years for black and white under rigorous industry accepted display conditions*. With its expanded color gamut and breakthrough 8-color system, no other ink set can reproduce the three dimensional lifelike quality and stunning photographic feel of Epson UltraChrome K3."
In addition to the printer review, I will also be testing some Epson papers, as well as third party offerings from Hahnemühle and hopefully Permajet. These will be very interesting to see just how much detail and accuracy I can get out of the R2880. Keep your eyes peeled for this review around mid-May.

Happy New Year to All
Monday, January 05, 2009
Happy New Year to all of my readers! I have some interesting announcements for you all too. You have probably noticed that there has not been many new postings over the Christmas period. Well, I took a well earned break and spent some time playing with my kids and their gadgets. It also gave me a chance to really get some hands-on use of some new bits of kit too. I have reviews of the Sony NWZ-S639 MP3 player coming up, where I look at just how well it integrates with the BBC iPlayer service and how you can get it working with Windows on the Mac.
Keeping with the Mac goodness though, I have plenty of reviews lined up. The Kodak Zi6 HD handheld camcorder for starters, followed by a roundup of snazzy sleeves to keep your MacBook, MacBook Pro and iPod touch nice and cozy. Not only will they protect your kit from bumps and scratches, but also keep them nice and warm over the winter months (yes, the first snow of 2009 fell over Kent last night). I also have a couple of Broadband Router tests coming up, including a budget model from Buffalo Technology. So plenty to keep me busy and to keep you informed. Thanks for sticking with us, I hope you enjoy the Geekanoids website throughout 2009.

Stuff Live 2008 Exhibition Gallery
Tuesday, November 04, 2008
The Stuff Live 2008 exhibition took place a couple of days ago at London's ExCel. It was packed solid of really exciting stands, showing some of the gadgets and gizmos that will be under Christmas trees this December. There are too many great products to mention here, so check out the further articles that will appear on Geekanoids over the next day or so. Highlights of the show included some superb new netbooks from Asus, the Evoke and Avanti Flow internet/DAB/FM/wireless radios from Pure and the superb wireless multi-room music system from Sonos who were showing their added iPhone and iPod touch application for controlling your tunes. I also really liked the iOplay system, which brings together complete control of your iPod, iPhone (or other mobile phone) and TomTom for really smart in-car use. All of the photos were taken with the Ricoh GX200 digital camera and the gallery is sponsored by Clifton Cameras. More photos can be viewed by clicking the link just after the seventh photograph.
