If you're in the market for a military grade tough phone without the bulk, then check out the latest IIIF150 Ultra Thin Rugged Phones.

In this video I got hands on with several models checking out the toughness and water resistance capabilities.

They are impressively thin considering how tough they are in and out of the water.

Is this it? Could the OPPO AIR GLASS 2 become the smart glasses we've been waiting for? In this video I get hands-on with the latest prototype at MWC Barcelona.

In Sunday's segment on Sky News Australia (Weekend Edition with Tim Gilbert) we showed how new Power Stations can be used to help consumers save on rising energy costs. EcoFlow River 2 series is about to hit the Australian market with update LFP Battery Chemistry. As always we were first to try them out in Australia and they are impressive. Most people will use them for camping and travel but they are ideal for home backup.

In Sunday's segment on Sky News Australia (Weekend Edition with Tim Gilbert) we explained why Adobe’s entry into the AI game is different. Firstly, Adobe Firefly is about creating visual works for someone involved in graphic design, video editing or similar job. It’s about making money for the content creator. The reason is can do this is because Adobe is training its AI on Adobe Stock images which it has the rights to. This puts Adobe is a stronger ethical and legal position

Yes, I've seen the future and it's rollable.

In this video I'll show you how Lenovo and Motorola are 'on a roll' with their concept devices this year.

I had a chance to play with one of the rollables at Mobile World Congress and I was more than impressed.

I know they are concept devices but they appeared to me at least - very advanced - and I would like to think are closer to reality than many may think.

Thanks to https://www.belkin.com/au/ for supporting our trip to Mobile World Congress.

TCL is doing really interesting work with XR and display tech. TCL NXTPAPER 2.0 is up to 150% brighter than the original and it could be coming to their smartphone lineup soon.

In this video I’ll show you the latest tablets, phones and AR smart glasses coming your way this year. I was blown away by the real time translation on the RayNeo X2 AR Glasses.

Thanks to BELKIN for supporting our trip to Mobile World Congress.

In Sunday's segment on Sky News Australia (Weekend Edition with Tim Gilbert) we exclusively revealed the results to date of WA Police using Apple’s CarPlay on patrol. Police only need to use voice commands thanks to Motorola Solutions core application. Using CarPlay and SIRI has cut down the amount of paperwork officers are required to do per shift which means more time on the streets. I saw the demo firsthand at Motorola Solutions HQ this week. WA Police has been using the system for more than a year and in this segment I can tell you exclusively what the results are.

In Sunday's segment on Sky News Australia (Weekend Edition with Tim Gilbert) we discussed why Drone delivery service - WING - is introducing a new system that could speed up the expansion of home delivery by air. WING is introducing a Delivery Network - which means the drones can take orders as they come in like a ride-share service. Instead one home base, drones can pick up from many locations, using a new autoloader that means retail staff don’t have to wait for a drone. WING plans to roll out elements of Wing Delivery Network capabilities over the next 12 months. This could be the key for deliveries by drone to take the next step towards mainstream adoption.

When I say there’s cool stuff at Mobile World Congress … I mean it .. literally. Check out this 45W Liquid Cooler from OnePlus.  It will keep your phone cool while gaming or as and unseen bonus .. soothe your sore head after a big night out. Thanks to BELKIN for supporting our trip to Mobile World Congress.

In Sunday's segment on Sky News Australia (Weekend Edition with Tim Gilbert) we were hands on with Motorola’s rollable screen concept phone at Mobile World Congress in Spain. It drew big crowds along with Lenovo’s rollable laptop screen.

The strongest challenger yet to Samsung's foldable dominance is finally going global.

The OPPO Find N2 Flip is available for preorder in Australia now for A$1499, on sale March 16 2023.

In Sunday's segment on Sky News Australia (Weekend Edition with Tim Gilbert) we showed OPPO new flip phone, the Find N2 Flip. It’s set to draw plenty of interest at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona over the next few days. The OPPO Find N2 Flip is coming to Australia and it’s a direct challenger to Samsung’s Flip4 and Motorola Razr. 

The new Samsung Galaxy 23 Ultra now shoots 8K video in 30p, up from 24p. As you will see in this video, the S23 Ultra is on a tripod but it also does some panning and tilting without missing a beat. On a bright, sunny afternoon on Sydney Harbour the 8K is outstanding for a smartphone. The field of view is wider too but not quite wide enough to get the tallest building in shot. Although YouTube may not do it justice, the original files have no banding in the blue sky or artefacts in the water movement. Overall, this is impressive. Let me know what you think in the comments below.

If you're a filmmaker using Sony gear then why not have a crack at the Catchlight Film Festival. This video will give you an idea of the type of films being made in Australia and New Zealand. You might be surprised by the camera models used by some of the winners. It's also a great event.

Here are my first impressions of the Samsung S23 series unpacked today. My focus is the Ultra and its insane 200MP main sensor. Samsung is taking Apple head on in the mobile video category. So far I'm impressed but in-depth testing will give us a better idea in a few weeks. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

Hard to show on a phone but this is the Sydney Lightning Storm 1am Wed from Maroubra headland. The light show off the coast was amazing - strike after strike after strike.

Shot this with Sony a7s iii with Tamron 28-200 2.8-5.6 on some insane ISO. Best viewed on a big screen. That’s when you notice the silhouette of a person/s on the cliffs.

Also the last shot is a track of a plane. They would have had a great view ⚡️

In Sunday's segment on Sky News Australia (Weekend Edition with Jaynie Seal) we took a look at the latest round of layoffs by Google’s parent company Alphabet. The tech industry has already seen tens of thousands let go over recent months so what does that mean for consumers? The tech giants went on a hiring blitz during the pandemic - for good reason - but with a recession looming and profits reducing, staff numbers are being reduced. However … there’s one company that’s not shedding staff like the others.
