    What podcasts do you listen to?

    Not sure if this helps, I have an 'app', bizarrely named 'doggcatcher' on my phone, which I use (via home wifi) to download podcasts and then play on my journeys. I'm sure there's more than one type of app like this. ps. great topic

    changing to raw

    As Above. It will then display RAW in the LCD at the bottom. A bit like the second image (scroll down a little) here: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos400d/page5.asp when you're in JPEG mode, I think it displays a letter like 'M' (medium), 'L' (Large) etc. When in RAW mode it will...

    The Unofficial TP Android Apps Thread

    Excellent. I had no idea! Thanks I've had my desire for a 2 weeks or so. Not had much time to play around with it. SoundHound is really good. I prefer it over Shazam. I usually go for the freebie apps, but one I had to purchase for was Mobisle Notes after I saw it on my dad's phone...

    HTC Desire Case - Otterbox or Case-Mate

    Had my case-mate tough for the last few days. First thoughts: . Not worth 16 quid . Dust magnet But I will hang onto it as it provides a good grip and the other choices don't seem as good (not including the otterbox). ps. The case-mate comes with a screen protector. Definately use a...

    canon 50mm 1.4 vs sigma 50mm 1.4

    The Canon's are good. My first choice would be the sigma; it is a wonderful lens in every respect.

    Weston Digital External HD's

    Wow, these have come down in price. I purchased a My Book 500GB (Mains powered) for £170ish - Going as strong as day one. No complaints. I briefly used a passport at work and it took a few knocks but no problems.

    HTC Desire good enough to replace snapshot camera?

    Guys, may I ask what the HTC Desire is like for taking close up shots? My wife's getting one as an upgrade and she has decided -bless her - to give it to me :D I often take snaps of articles in newspapers, books, magazines that are of interest. So, how's its close-up ability please...

    Dubai Suggestions required

    Yep, watch out for the sand/dust. It's also going to be boiling so keep a bottle of water on you. When I was there, 12pm-4pm many shops where closed, but that was many years ago so things may have changed. Especially in the town centre(s). Canon 17-40 is a great lens. If the F4 is fine...

    Why are companies so incompetent?

    I had an item "repaired". On opening the parcel, I knew it definately wasn't repaired as there was a massive crack on one side! I jotted down my thoughts on a letter and sent it to them. Many emails followed and it took a month to solve. On a national level, the Government doesn't have any...
