Digital-Lifestyles pre-empted and reported thousands of articles on the then-coming impact that technology was to have on all forms of Media.

You’ll remember that UK ‘hacker’ Gary McKinnon had lost his House of Lords Appeal at the tail end of July.
He’s attempting to stop his deportation to America to be tried on hacking charges.
He and those in his defence camp, including his lawyers, Kaim Todner LLP, will be breathing a sigh of relief, for the next two weeks at least.
We’ve just heard that the Presidents of the European Court Human Rights will hear his application, before the full Chamber, on 28th August 2008.
We’ve never been particularly wowed by its clunky, mid-90s appearance, but we’re certainly digging the functionality of the Amazon Kindle e-book reader, and according to CitiGroup analyst Mark Mahaney it may prove to be a bigger smash than first expected.
Supermarket giants Tesco will soon start offering shoppers the smallest and cheapest personal DAB Digital radio in town, the teensy weensy Technika DAB-108P.

Steve Jobs has been chatting to the Wall Street Journal about the iPhone, its App Store and the ‘Kill Switch.’
Jobs confirmed that an impressive 60 million iPhone applications have been downloaded in the first month of the iPhone App Store.
Opera have been receiving more success in placing their Web browsing software on different platforms, particularly mobile phones.
The latest win is a big one.
Given the media’s initial blind obsession with the iPhone, writing about it as if it were the third-coming, it’s not surprising that, true to form, they’re now getting overheated with a possible bad news story.

It looks like WiFi on planes is starting to be rolled out again.
US operator Delta Airlines is to offer WiFi Internet access across their fleet of planes using AirCell’s Gogo service.

For ramblers, hikers and general all-terrain rugged folks looking to capture some outdoors photography, lugging a decent tripod around can be a bit of a chore, so Trek Technologies are hoping that their hybrid tripod/walking stick will prove a hit.
