The all-conquering advance of cellphone technology has brought many benefits to modern-day life, but there’s a new one in town whose potential for surprise is beaten only by the risk of communal addiction.

You can already call friends, update your Facebook and keep an indifferent world acutely aware of every transient thought, but the latest add on for your Blackberry, Android or iPhone lets you get restaurant delivery without leaving your chair.

More than five thousand restaurants in over two-dozen cities now stand ready to feed you – and don’t even utter a word. Enter your order on the screen, click send…and there’s a knock at the door. How geeky is that?

Geeks go gaga over Galaxy Tab

Computer life goes in fads and the latest trend that got your local geek tied up in knots is the tablet computer.

Apple wowed the world with the iPad, but its $600+ price tag and costly subscriptions put quite a few people off. But to their rescue, and great relief came the Galaxy Tablet PC. This sensually sleek and versatile Android-powered tablet debuted just before Christmas, and unlike the iPad it can run on all four major networks.

The Galaxy also matches Apple’s download allowances, but the monthly costs are far less. So if you like to own the latest tech trinkets but can’t reach Apple’s prices, this is your chance. Start at that link and see if you can resist….

Fifty years ago, the idea of carrying high quality, static-free stereo music in your pocket would have seemed like pure science fiction.

Today, MP3 players are among the most popular assets of modern humanity.

Apple’s iPod has gained the biggest profile, of course – especially among those with more cash than brains – but the sheer range of sizes, features and prices is amazing. And if you have one, there’s one thing you can count on – there’s now something better out there.
