Canon launched its new range of products at the Radisson in Dublin on Wednesday and Villa81’s cameras were there to see the best of the new cameras on offer.
You may have noticed that we didn’t make Matt take that camera out of the goldfish bowl. That’s because we have something better in mind.
Canon claim the [...]
Samsung is sponsoring Seachtain na Gaeilge this year. The launch was tonight in Dublin’s Button Factory and Villa81 figured it would be the perfect occasion for our first ever bilingual report.
Seachtain na Gaeilge runs from the 2nd to 17th of March and Samsung’s range of Irish language enabled phones are available now. Keep an eye [...]

Canon’s A480 camera has been knocking around Villa81 as of late. We gave it a good testing in the field to see how it fared, the video below briefly runs through our findings.

Killzone 2 is available on the [...]
CA, the artist formerly known as Computer Associates, brought journalists to Rome to discuss the state of its security business. Villa81’s cameras were there to see how the firm saw its role in the sector developing.
Unsurprisingly CA was full of positive things to tell the assembled press. While wholly expected, the firm is still justified [...]
Lenovo gave us their Thinkpad SL500 for a test run. Given our past experience with Lenovo devices that was quite the brave move on their part.
It’s a solid device but nothing special. The SL500 is serviceable and above average but I won’t be rushing out to get one all the same. It’s short of the [...]
Bringing us more up to speed, here’s our recent review of Three Ireland’s new INQ handset. The ‘MacGyver Phone’, as I’ve dubbed it, is quite the multi-functional tool.

Last July’s competition in Paris saw representatives from two Irish third level colleges go up against the best in the world with what would best be described as eco-friendly business solutions.
First up was [...]
