Solio H1000 Hybrid Solar Charger - Review
I received a Solio Hybrid H1000 solar charger in the post recently so I thought it was about time to test this gadget out.
The Solio H1000 Hybrid charger is a dual powered mobile charged for mobile phone’s PDA’s and other small gadgets.
It comes with a bunch of connections, including a mini USB, a female USB connections for iPod’s, iPhone’s and other MP3 players, as well as connectors for the majority of mobile phones
Out of the box it comes fully charged, so you are ready to plug it in and charge your devices.
I tested it on my iPhone and it seems to work pretty well and delivers a decent charge to the iPhone.
There are two way you can charge this portable gadget, the first is by plugging it into your PC, I charged it a few days ago and then left it to see how long it would hold the charge, it works well and holds the charge.
The other way is by solar power, this doesn’t work as well, mind you this could be down to the weather conditions here at the moment, no sun and lots of rain.
Overall the Solio H1000 is a great solution if you want to charge a variety of gadgets when you are out and about, even if you just charge it by the USB on your PC it is a great backup power source.
The Solio H1000 Hybrid Charger retails for $79.95 (about £40) and is available to buy online from Amazon

3 Skype Phone - Full Review - Everything you need to know about the 3 Skype Phone
I have been using the 3 Skype Phone for about a week, now and I have say say I am impressed.
The 3 Skype Phone is a merging of two technologies, Skype and mobile phones. This is a first for mobile phone companies and a bold move by 3 Mobile as you get completely free calls to any other Skype user.
The Skype function works exactly like Skype does on your PC, you log in and out the same way and it displays all your contacts.
Initially when I received the 3 Skype Phone to review, I thought the Skype feature was a great gimmick, but after using it over the last week I have found out how useful this can be, being able to call anyone of your Skype contacts from wherever you are is really useful and I can see this feature being of great benefit to business users, as well as the every day Skype user.
The 3 Skype Phone itself is a pretty nifty little device, weighing just 86g and measuring just 100 x 44 x 13.6mm, and it comes in a choice of three colours, black, white/pink and white/blue.
You can either buy the phone on a monthly contract, the cheapest 3 offer is £12 per month, the phone is free on this option or you can buy the Pay as You Go option for £49.99. All Skype calls are completely free, and on the PAYG option all you need to do to benefit from the free Skype calls is top up the credit on the phone by £10 a month.
There are quite a lot of other features on the phone including an MP3 player, a 2.0 mega-pixel camera, and a web browser.
The web browser is pretty good, and as the 3 Skype Phone is 3G enabled it is fast too. 3 Mobile have some great services available, including Mobile TV with channels like BBC1, ITV1, the Comedy Channel, BBC News 24 and lots more.
There are also some other great services like Yahoo Search, Windows Live Messenger, Google search, Facebook and YouTube.
All in all the 3 Skype phone is an amazing little mobile, packed with features and for the price you can’t go wrong.
I would love to see 3 Mobile roll out the Skype feature across their mobile phone range, as this would revolutionise the mobile phone industry, and would benefit their customers, imagine if every mobile phone had Skype built in and the calls were free.
What 3 Mobile have done is have the balls to install a feature like Skype on a mobile phone, where the other mobile phone operators have been scared too in case they loose revenue, I think the 3 Skype Phone will be a big hit for 3 mobile.

3 Mobile launches the 3 Skype Phone in the UK - Free Skype Calls
3 Mobile have launched an amazing new mobile in the UK, the 3 Skype Phone.
The good news is that all Skype VoIP calls are free to any other Skype user, as long as you have a current contract with Three then all the Skype calls are completly free, could this change the way we use mobile phones?
You have a choice of either a Pay as you Go contract, the phone costs £49 (about $100)to buy on pay as you go, or is free is you opt for one of Three’s competitive contracts.
All you need to do to get free Skype calls on the pay as you go contract is top it up by £10 (about $20) a month.
The phone is pretty cool, it features a 2 mega pixel camera and has a microSD card slot, I haven’t had a good chance to use it properly yet, but I will post a full review of it soon.
The Skype Phone will be available in the UK from Friday.
Update 4th November 2007

Apple Confirms iPhone SDK for February
Steve Jobs has confirmed that iPhone SDK will be officially available in February 2008.
Third Party Applications on the iPhone
Let me just say it: We want native third party applications on the iPhone, and we plan to have an SDK in developers’ hands in February. We are excited about creating a vibrant third party developer community around the iPhone and enabling hundreds of new applications for our users. With our revolutionary multi-touch interface, powerful hardware and advanced software architecture, we believe we have created the best mobile platform ever for developers.
It will take until February to release an SDK because we’re trying to do two diametrically opposed things at once—provide an advanced and open platform to developers while at the same time protect iPhone users from viruses, malware, privacy attacks, etc. This is no easy task. Some claim that viruses and malware are not a problem on mobile phones—this is simply not true. There have been serious viruses on other mobile phones already, including some that silently spread from phone to phone over the cell network. As our phones become more powerful, these malicious programs will become more dangerous. And since the iPhone is the most advanced phone ever, it will be a highly visible target.
Some companies are already taking action. Nokia, for example, is not allowing any applications to be loaded onto some of their newest phones unless they have a digital signature that can be traced back to a known developer. While this makes such a phone less than “totally open,” we believe it is a step in the right direction. We are working on an advanced system which will offer developers broad access to natively program the iPhone’s amazing software platform while at the same time protecting users from malicious programs.
We think a few months of patience now will be rewarded by many years of great third party applications running on safe and reliable iPhones.
Steve
P.S.: The SDK will also allow developers to create applications for iPod touch. [Oct 17, 2007]
