Yesterday we had the opportunity to spend some time with some new devices and the Sony Xperia range was on offer we had only expected to see the Z3 but the compact arrived just on time alongside some other devices and tech.

First thing to notice was the new packaging which has changed from the previous models in the Z2 range..

One Plus One Leather case review made by #Noreve by @jimboireland #Noreve #Cases

The One Plus One is arguably the best phone on the market today especially for you moneys worth anyway and its a very nice phone to own and its a joy to use,As  a rule of thumb i always suggest buying a case or cover but some chose not too,again this does take away the real feel of a device which for some is a better option.

Noreve have sent us the latest case in their catalogue for the One Plus One and its quite nice even though this type of case is not my first choice when investing in cases for whichever device i might be using.

 

 

 

The case made by Noreve is as always fully open to your preferences so you can pick colours or materials to suit your needs.

#FlipBoard finally hits #WindowsPhone OVER A YEAR LATE (early build) ,And it DOES NOT FLIP.. by @jimboireland

Last year when we attended the Nokia World conference in Abu Dhabi we got to see flipboard and spoke to some of the guys there too,over ONE YEAR LATER  Flipboard finally hits windows phone.. By the way it was announced in JULY 2013

My first impressions of flipboard are not good,in fact its disappointing compared to other similar apps there,flipboard does NOT FLIP this will be a huge let down to people who have waited almost a year for this app.

I am a full time windows phone user and like the OS as well as Android ,i love apps,Millions have waited for this app.

Watch the video below and see how it stacks up towards Android and rival app on Windows Phone Magnify ,which gets my vote..Android still has the best flipboard experience overall…

You can download Flipboard for Windows Phone  HERE Hopefully this app we have all waited long enough for gets an update soon..The other thing is it does not support 512 MB devices,again this will annoy people.

Over all it seems to be fine elsewhere and has a similar layout..

UPDATE. 21.06PM  25/9/14

Flipboard have now stated this is an early build as seen below to a huge fan of the App   got this reply from John Virtes.

Another day,another app and this time its from Eurospar,if you fancy your wines this is for you.

Personally speaking i don’t drink wine at all so i don’t know what i am missing but wine fans can rejoice with this handy app.

Pick which food you will be having and select a wine available from your local EUROSPAR supermarket that will go perfectly with your meal. Or maybe you want to know more about a wine on the shelf? Scan the barcode and get all the information you need. With a range of over 300 wines, the EUROSPAR Wine Wizard will have a wine to match your taste. Now that’s SuperEasy!

 

 

Ireland’s supereasy supermarket group, EUROSPAR, is helping its customers to become wine connoisseurs at the touch of a download, with the launch of its bespoke new Wine Wizard app for iPhone and iPad.

The free to download app is designed to take the hard work out of wine selection by providing helpful information on things like tasting notes and food matching, special offers and latest additions to the range. It allows customers to choose wines according to price, variety, country, taste and to match it to the food they are planning to eat as well as providing all the information you’d expect on the wine; vineyard and region.

 

Wine Wizard has a function for scanning barcodes and there’s even a journal from the in-house wine expert, Gill O’Meara.

We do hope to see this app spread to other platforms soon..You can follow Spar on Twitter
