There is now another iPhone user interface stencil on sale for those of you who are interested in creating your own iPhone/iPod Touch application.

What makes this one unique is the fact that it is made from a durable plastic, as opposed to the aluminium version that I previously blogged about offered by UI Stencils.

When the Sony Walkman was launched, 30 years ago this week, it started a revolution in portable music. But how does it compare with its digital successors? The BBC sends roving reporter Scott Campbell, co-editor of Net News Daily on a ragga-trip down memory lane; at least, for some of us!

Wacom Bamboo Graphics Tablet

I’m a complete newbie to the world of graphics tablets which is why I was excited to find a (fairly) new product from Wacom, called Bamboo.

I’ve always heard how good Wacom tablets are, but they’ve always been placed just outside the kind of budget where you’d buy one to see if you like it. Bamboo cost about £60 and I think this is excellent value for money for those people who, like me, are entering this ‘mouseless’ domain for the very first time.

I understand that it has its limitations, having only 512 levels of pressure sensitivity etc., compared to the higher end of the market, but I am finding it so easy to adapt to.

The one thing I did find difficult to comprehend after using a mouse for the last 20+ years, was the fact that the tablet is mapped to the display area. Unlike a mouse which you have to pick-up and reposition every now and then.

I think that I’m going to like it a lot.
