A Prodigal April

Here’s our monthly roundup of what we’ve been writing about and what you’ve been reading. The top ten most popular posts of April were:

At number 10 - News from MWC ’09 - In which we get ourselves all excited over Samsung’s amazing looking Omnia HD. Time will tell if it can live up to the hype but it’s looking good so far.

Oh boy, what a mess: The new Mercedes E-class coupe - In which The Prodigal Fool bemoans another unpleasant styling job from a once great German carmaker.

Nokia E75: A tangible step up from the E71 but it’s marred by quality problems - In which The Prodigal Fool reports on the latest gadget to join the Prodigal stable. Overall, we’re impressed but concerns remain over stability of the software and Nokia’s quality control.

Pure watch pornography: Jake’s Rolex Watch Blog – In which amateur bloggers likes us discover the ability of one little word in your title to keep those hits coming. A well deserved plug for Jake’s Rolex Watch Blog, a great source of Rolex watch information and photography.

And the most popular post of April….

Repeat after us: Byron is Best for Burgers, Byron is Best for Burgers, Byron is Best… - The astonishing pulling power of the humble burger is demonstrated both by a popular post and a phenomenally satisfying restaurant experience. Truly one of the best burgers in London (we haven’t yet tried a Hawksmoor burger.)
