The NEW LOOK TECH DIGEST goes live tonight!!!!!
Ok people, listen up, brace yourselves and batten down the hatches because tonight we launch the new, improved and 100% redesigned Tech Digest. Yes, you heard me. Take your screen shots and a long, last look because the site as we know it will go down at 8pm GMT to emerge an altogether smoother, sexier creature by 9pm.
Technology and blogging being what they are, don’t be surprised if it’s not the world’s smoothest transition but we’ll have whatever unexpected creases that arrive ironed out very quickly.
All that remains for me to say is, once it’s up, have a good nose around and enjoy it. See you on the other side…
Cyber-Shot goes up a notch with Sony Ericsson's C903
So, MWC 2009 is all but upon us and the handsets have started trickling in. It’s all quite exciting, don’t you think? Today, Sony Ericsson has launched three new boys on the block, the most significant of which is the mid-range C903, an upgrade to the C902. See what they did there?
Hardware-wise, there doesn’t seem to be a hello of a lot different. It’s got the same 5-megapixel camera with slider lens cover, the same 2.4-inch QVGA TFT and the same annoying…

SHINY REVIEW: Zara destroys the indestrucable JCB mobile phone
Ok, hands up who knew JCB made a phone? Nah, me neither. Apparently the news is slightly inconsequential though, seeing as their selling point is that it’s tough. I wonder how they’d like the strap line “The JCB phone – so tough that it breaks when you drop it…
Amphibious flippers help you not break your own face while on land
Sometimes it’s the simplest gadgets, but it’s pretty much always the simplest designs that work out best. These Amphibian Dynamic Scuba Fins picked up an award at the IDEA 2008 design festival and it’s not hard to see why.
Anyone who’s ever done any diving or snorkelling will be fully aware of how flippers turn from something totally useful and essential in the water to footwear that’ll nearly kill you on land. So, the way these ones work is that you hit a switch at each ankle with the opposite heal and, hey presto, the fins flip up
New use for old tech #2: 747 hotel
In this modern day and age of impending global doom, it’s important to recycle as much as possible. Today, that includes jumbo jets and if you head over to Stokholm you could go and spend a night in this particular 747 saved from the scrap yard and converted into…
Get your own robot mini-me from Little Island

NEC to bring 3D TV to your mobile phone
NEC is to demo some concept tech over in the heart of Barcelona at MWC in just over a week’s time. Their brainwave is to put 3D technology onto the 3.1″ screen of a mobile phone.
It’s a prototype which they’ve been working on since the beginning of last year and, naturally, it doesn’t require glasses to view. No word as whether…
TD Tips: the best online TV viewing/stealing platforms
With the sad and slightly tinged with irrelevance news of project Kangaroo biting the dust, we here at TD wanted to share our alternative suggestions for good, damn good and downright excellent places to watch TV on the internet.
So, instead of waffling on – which believe me, I do like to do – about why Kangaroo’s failure isn’t so bad and yet is important in terms of intelliectual property, let’s get straight to the heart of it. What are we going to do now? Where should we watch TV online. Well, this is the Tech Digest answer…
