After a delayed launch because of problems, Wolfram Alpha has now appeared to many – therefore technically launched. The new search engine has been called the Google competitor, which I refuse to call it because it uses Google under its “Search the Web” feature, but it isn’t. It’s so much more.

I admit that once I got my iPod touch, I instantly loaded Twitterrific onto it, because Twitter applications for the iPhone and iPod touch were rare. But now, have a look a year later, a multitude of applications for the microblogging site has appeared – and I personally use Twitterfon now.
However, once I got an update for Twitterrific, I decided to upgrade it, and hence, here is TECHGEEK.com.au’s review of Twitterrific 2.0.

Here it is, Nokia’s own competitor to the successful iPhone, and its very first phone that has the brand new “Comes with Music” service, allowing owners to download music (with digital rights management) for one year. But now, it faces our editors to see if it lives up to the hype. Will it succeed, or has become a costly mistake from Nokia?

Hey there.
Today im reviewing my new Logitech Pure-Fi Anytime.
I have to say. for the price its worth (More than $NZD200) its one of the best iPhone/iPod Stereos out on the market that i have seen.
This Stereo has Amazing sound quality and Volume.
Never need to put the remote where you will forget it. You can slot it in the back when your not using it
One thing i can say is. You can't navigate the menus with the remote. (Which would have been nice to seen)
And the stunning Interface its got i love it Crystal Clear(With My glasses on of corse lol.)
Pros..
• Its got good Volume Level
• Its got a remote holder on the back
• Motion-Activated Controls
• Dual Alarm
• Easy to read interface
• Time in 12 Hour Or 24 Hour
• FM/AM Radio
• Backup battery
Cons
• Can't Navigate around iPhone with remote
• The Screwdriver is a little bit too small (Even with my small hands).
Overall Rating 9/10
Thanks Luke

Introduced in this year's Consumer Electronics Show, the Sony Ericsson C510 has that sleek and sexy design, on the outside and in the interface as well. With YouTube compatibility and is one of its "Cyber-shot" phones, TECHGEEK.com.au has now got it for review and will now put it to the test to see does it live up to its hype as one of the must-have phones for a media-savvy person?

A phone that allows you to convey your social life and business life together – fun mixed with business – now, that has never happened, unless you count the iPhone 3G and the latest slate of BlackBerry phones. But those are all smartphones, but now, there is a normal phone that could help you convey those lives.
Introducing the INQ1, allowing you to have your corporate e-mail account mixed in with your Windows Live Messenger, Skype and Facebook in one phone. Now, this is truly a dream phone that you must get.
But now, after months of waiting, TECHGEEK.com.au is pleased to celebrate the first of March, and the second year of TECHGEEK.com.au, with our very own take (and yes, we did get it on our hands to play around with it) of the latest new thing from 3.

While this has been around for a few days; I didn’t get a look at the site until a few days later because I’m guessing that people were trying to find out what it was.
BlahblahFish is a translator service, but it doesn’t give you the translation from English to whatever language. It does translate it, but it then retranslate the translation back to English; allowing you to see what words have been lost, or gained, to produce some hilarious results.

After a load of talk that the ABC is considering launching a mobile version of their website (and with the advertising talk – since it was technically allowed to put ads online); the ABC has finally did it.
Still in beta, don’t expect it to last. According to the main site, it’s going to shut it down on January 9. But if you want it to continue – then go on. Tell the ABC and the people to go to m.abc.net.au on their mobile internet browser.
Theoretically, it supposed to work on all mobile browsers, but there are reports that the ABC’s page won’t work on the BlackBerry browsers (and they have suggested getting the Opera Mobile browser). And since the iPod touch is based mostly around the iPhone, it wouldn’t hurt to see it in action – and the ABC should be congratulated on a job well done, because it actually works.

Being pretty alive with the file hosting business, I decided to give something else a go than my usual RapidShare download streams, I saw Easy-Share on some websites so I thought I should as well check it out and not much longer I'm now writing a review on it.
The site is pretty simple, nice friendly design, not too shabby.
..So getting on with the purpose of the site I decided to upload a 236KB test file on my 256KBPS upload speed.
The upload didn't take long and the link layout was pretty good, gave a nice quick overview of my links:
Very good upload site, I've decided to link everything off TECHGEEK to Easy-Upload and so far everything has been fine and great, give them a try.

WordPress, the most popular blogging tool out on the web, has released the first beta of its latest version, WordPress 2.7. While the full version was supposed to go out on November 10th, it was delayed – but they managed to give out a beta version of the software for everyone to try out. So, I took that opportunity to find out what has changed and what has been removed.
But first, I have to tell you that all images were taken on my local server and not on the main server. This was done to make sure the site is still up, during the review process.
Keep up to date with the latest news, gadgets and other good stuff from TECHGEEK.com.au.
