USB Cooling Fan Review

USB Cooling Fan

Hello readers, I’m giving some attention to my blog again, and I have a few more posts lined up, so watch this space!

For today, I just want to show off a little gizmo that was sent to me by MobileFun.co.uk. It’s a USB powered fan, for keeping cool while you’re working at your laptop. It consists of a USB plug, and a flexible metal stem, mounted on which is the fan motor. The blades are made of fabric which means it’s safe if you accidentally catch your skin in the fan while it’s spinning

The flexible stem means you can plug it into your laptop and bend it to whatever position and orientation you need. My laptop has trouble dissipating waste heat at the best of times, so this could even help cool the keyboard down, etc.

When you see the fan at the MobileFun product page, it’s shown with a red button, and two blue LED’s, the review unit I was sent didn’t have either of these, so you have been warned – I know how some people are about getting their blue LED’s ;-)

Desktop Nokia Battery Charger Review

Charge your spare Nokia Batteries

The benefit of having a phone with a user-replaceable battery, is that you can carry a spare when you’re going to be away from a charger. The downside, however, is that eventually the phone has to be plugged in twice as long to recharge the battery, and then the spare. This has been the case for me lately while using Nokia’s E55 and N97, both of which run on Nokia’s hero battery, the BP-4L.

Thanks to MobileFun.co.uk, I have a Nokia battery charger to review.

S60 & Linux

S60 & Linux

I have had another article published on AllAboutSymbian.com. This time I wrote about how to maintain connectivity between your phone and computer after switching from Windows to Linux.

This is based on my own experience after switching exclusively to Ubuntu Linux, and having spent time working out how to still support my mobile phone.

Topics covered include: how to back up files, transfer photos, synchronise your music and connect to the internet via your phone.

If you’d like to read it, here’s the link:
