iPhone 5

The new iPhone 5 has been the centre of so much recent hype, but is it all it's cracked up to be? The main changes from the iPhone 4S are higher-quality images, more memory and faster internet. But who really cares if their phone's graphics are slightly lower quality, or they can't take as many photos before having to upload some to their PC, or they have to wait a bit longer for internet. The new iPhone 5, the second iPhone to be equipped with voice-recognition software Siri is sure to make you dig deeper into your pockets than an iPhone 4S would, which has the same capabilities but with slower internet (which with the new 4G networks being distributed across Britain now, should not be too much of  a problem) and lower quality graphics. The reason it is expensive is because, well, because it's an iPhone and it carries the trusted iPhone and Apple name.

Every review site you go on will always mention how "crisp" the image is and the speed of the internet, and especially emails. Personally, I check my emails at home, but for someone who needs it for their work, the iPhone 5 may be suited to you, but for the average citizen, I think the iPhone 4S should more than suffice!

Underwater Hotel

The above picture is of the underwater hotel recently completed by Poseidon Resorts. Altogether, there are 24 suites, each suite measuring at 50 square metres. Also, there is a restaurant, bar, a larger suite measuring at over double that of the standard suite, a conference room, a theatre, a wedding chapel, a lounge, and a library! If you're reading this list out loud, the chances are you have now run out of breath! If not, read on. Although it's not Dubai's Hydropolis or Shanghai's Shimao Wonderland, the Poseidon Sea Resorts will certainly be formidable.


It doesn't come cheap though, as the minimum stay (1 week) cost US$30,000! This money does include use of the company aeroplanes, 4 nights in their beach bungalows, and just 2 nights underwater! This price includes, a submarine expedition, as well as the use of a personal submarine to explore the 5,000 acre lagoon.

It all sounds great (if you overlook the price!) but would you really want to have an underwater holiday? Cabin fever and hydrophobia kicking in at the same time, while you are thinking, "Could this thing run out of air?" If you are ok with living underwater, this would be your thing. There would certainly be some spectacular views, but would you want to stay there?
