Browsing websites on a portable device is nothing new to the tech savvy enthusiast, however even with the best mobile designs – there are always limitations. One way around this is to create an app that can provide both additional exposure for your content and offer additional features.

The App Treatment

Console Monster is a popular website offering all kinds of interesting gaming content including news, reviews, previews, editorials and much more besides. Presenting such a wealth of information on a small screen is certainly a challenge, yet the ‘Console Guide’ app manages just that.

Operation

My latest review on the Tech Depot Blog UK website has just gone live, this time covering the WD Livewire Powerline AV Network Kit:

Ever since the world of web browsing entered our lives, the need to be connected becomes ever stronger. Social networking, ordering online, reading the latest news and gossip or simply checking email – the Internet is an important factor in our daily routines.

It has become far more accessible and convenient thanks to wireless connections in the home, work and public places – yet there are times when this wire free technology isn’t part of your ageing hardware or the signal is simply out of reach.

The WD Livewire Powerline AV Network Kit includes a couple of devices that allow you to tap into a network that already exists in your home as believe it or not, the electricity supply can be utilised to transmit data. This essentially means, any room that features an electrical socket has the potential to hook up to all your online needs without the requirement to drill holes, lift carpets or redecorate.
