They started out with all calls including to other networks at 8p / min and tests at 4p. Unfortunately the price has just risen to 10p/ min and 6p for tests. However they are still much cheaper than any other network. They will work out cheaper for light users, heavy users and smart phone users. All you need is an unlocked phone.

UK coverage is fine — (it’s delivered via the O2 network) Foreign use works exactly as you would expect, but you can’t use data abroad yet for smart phones.

The Ipad 2 is a fantastic device which complements you iphone and almost replaces your laptop. It boots up when you switch it on in 2 seconds - wow! It will join your other Apple devices and keep in sync using the Icloud.

Verdict — great fun toy, but probably not worth updating from the Ipad 1 if you have it already unless your budget is limitless.

A brilliant set of speakers to fill your normal-sized room with sound.

This years popular must-have Christmas present is the Apple Ipod. The entry level 2 Gb is the one which most people will be receiving this Yule-tide.
However if you are buying it yourself you will probably be receiving the 80Gb.

The current Amazon.co.uk price is 80Gb=£2199.99 and 2Gb=£90.99
I am sure the price will fall markedly once Christmas is out of the way!!
