THE NEW IPHONE 5: GET READY TO SELL YOUR IPHONE 4

With the eagerly anticipated iPhone 5 just around the corner (sometime next month, after the Apple conference on 12^th September), the prices of old iPhone’s will start to slowly decline across all parts of the world. So is now the time to start cashing in on them before it’s too late?

The truth is that until the iPhone 5 officially gets released onto the market, the price won’t dramatically drop. However, we can already see prices starting to fall so the best advice is to keep an eye on the prices each day and see if there is a noticeable change.

So where can I check prices?

The best place to check prices is to use a comparison website such as SellMyMobile.com whereby you can clearly see any price change on a day by day basis. So just perform a quick search on the site for your model of iPhone, or just visit the dedicated iPhone selling page and see what price currently comes in at the top. Make a note of this, and then check the next day.

Even though it’s best to check prices, we don’t recommend leaving it until the last minute. Some people are selling their iPhone now, and then buying or using an old phone which will get them through the prior 3-4 weeks before the launch which is a good idea.

At the time of writing (late August) these are the current prices:

• iPhone 4 8GB – £180
• iPhone 4 16GB – £200
• iPhone 4 32GB – £215

• iPhone 4 16GB – £305
• iPhone 4 32GB – £315
• iPhone 4 64GB – £330

BladePad Turns Your iPhone into a PSP

You've probably seen or at least heard of several iPhone gamepad accessories, but the "BladePad" is unlike the others in that it "comes with all the buttons and sticks present in a modern console controller: a D-pad, two analog sticks, four face buttons, four shoulder buttons and even a select and start button." Continue reading for a video and more information.

The makers of the controller did say that they're working with "several major game studios and many independent studios as well." I really like how the Bladepad looks and fits, so I hope it gets widespread support from developers.

The Freshest laptop designs

ASUS G51JX

With aesthetics becoming almost as important a factor in usability and performance when it comes to buying a laptop these days, manufacturers are using teams of consultants to get the design just right for a particular market before they even start putting the parts together. Business users will be looking for something that projects a corporate image of sleek efficiency, often in matt black, whereas teenagers will be more interested in bright colours and funky originality, and there is a whole raft of different requirements in between. Laptop news covers the latest designs in innovative laptops to hit the market in recent months. 

Notebooks are becoming increasingly lighter and thinner, and taking on the role of fashion accessories to project a personal image as well as sophisticated machines for processing data and keeping in touch with friends and colleagues. 

Intel's Core-i technology is at the heart of the laptop revolution, with these ultra-fast and ultra-small microprocessors allowing for ever-smaller designs and increased performance. They are fitted into a whole range of electronic devices apart from laptops, from digital signs to automated machines. Fitting them into laptops allows the kit to work anywhere up to three times faster than those using the Core 2 technology of older ranges. 

HUGI (Hurry Up and Get Idle) technology incorporated into the processors enables them to quickly complete tasks before moving on to the next ones, and this is reflected in a prolonged battery life as less energy is wasted. 

Laptops nowadays are designed to work and play hard, and can be used equally effectively by dad at the office and the kids at home or on holiday. Designs are becoming more sleek and innovative as producers compete fiercely for increasingly small slices of the market. 

ASUS G51JX 
This laptop has 3D effects for gaming and uses a Core i7 for faster play and response times. Its chunky size exudes the essence of the hardcore gamer's mentality, speaking of robustness and stability in its sleek but uncompromising lines and caring as much about performance as appearance. 

ASUS EEe 
This was designed by a leading industrial designer, Karim Rashid, and has an embossed grid pattern on a seashell case with a rubbery feel to it reminiscent of the IBM Thinkpad range. Coming in a choice of glossy pink and coffee brown this is one of the funkiest laptops around. 

Dell Inspiron 15R 
This sleek and efficient model running on a Dual Core P6100 processor has the full range of features you'd expect with a laptop these days and comes in cherry red, peacock blue and lotus pink colours to reflect your positive and creative mood. 

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Hands On 
This is a representative example of a new range of convertible laptops that use innovative designs to convert them into slates that can be operated using a stylus. The screen simply folds into place on top of the keyboard when it is closes or when you want to use it as a tablet. 

Sony Vaio EB Series 
Slim, elegant and compact, the EB series of laptops from Sony gets you online in seconds through the quick-web button and comes in a range of colours. It's light and portable for use on the road as well as in the home.
