Listen to Matt chatting to Mark Murphy about the trio of marketing slip ups that has caused Apple to stay in the news for the wrong reasons and even gone as far as ‘possibly’ causing their shares to drop?

Find out what it’s all about by listening to the stream attached.

Following Apple’s iPhone 6 and 6 plus announcement last week, we talk about big screen phones, notably the Asus Zenfone 6 and the LG G3. The Asus Zenfone features a 6 inch 720p screen with the phone running using Intel’s Atom processor (similar to what you would find in some of your computers). The LG G3 features and incredible 1440p Quad HD screen which is mind blowing to view and also a laser focus camera which gives super fast focusing in photos.
BBC Radio Suffolk are also in the middle of upgrading their kit and this episode was recorded in a spanking new studio.
We’ve included photos of the Asus Zenfone 6 and LG G3
Big thanks to Sammy at HotWire PR for the loan of the ASUS Zenfone 6 and for LG-One for the loan of the LG G3

Over the past few weeks, we have been testing the Nokia Lumia 2520 tablet and Nokia Lumia 630 smart phone. Both excellent devices in their categories; Matt talks to Mark Murphy about them Mark gets hands on.
Nokia have always pushed the envelope with their Lumia devices. Right from the beginning their signature polycarbonate around clear black screens have always given these services a feeling of quality. Now they are owned by Microsoft and the 630 is one of the first devices to be released following being absorbed into the Seattle technology giant.

This week we talk exclusively about the Batribike Granite Pro, a super pedal assisted ebike, with the added feature of a throttle.
We were very impressed by this bike, it was extremely well built, comfortable and the throttle was just an amazing addition for when you want a rest from pedalling, but can happily continue to propel you along at 15mph.
We will be uploading a full review of the Granite Pro in the next couple of days.
I would however like to thank Sue from Batribike for delivering the bike to us personally last week and picking it up again today. It made such a difference having a fully working ebike delivered to our door.
If you are interested in finding out more about Batribike, you can go to their website at http://www.batribike.com or call them on 01427 787774 and don’t forget to tell them Gadget Man referred you 🙂
