"Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the SACKBOY he comes"

We've turned into tingle-fingered DJs and we're totally crushing on a dude called Sackboy. Well, one of us is. Welcome to this week's adventure-laden episode of Digital Life.

Talking you through the gaming news, phone reviews and pretty hues this week are CNET.com.au's Ella Morton and wizard of the wireless, Cam St.Clair, with Joe "William Tell" Hanlon swinging by clad in armour to defend his iPhone review.

Each week we bring you a bunch of chatter on the latest news, cool products, and burning issues in the gadget world. The show goes out on radio on Wednesdays from 10pm, or 8pm for the WA dwellers. To see if there's a station near you, visit TheRadio.com.au. You can also listen online from 10pm via the Sea FM website.

Best touchscreen phones
Yeah, we all know about the iPhone. But it's not the only touchscreen in town. Here are some alternatives. Some even let you send an MMS. Magic!

Storing files online
Need to send someone a massive file of the digital variety? You could post them a USB key. Or you could just upload it to one of the many online storage services and make them get downloading. Paying for a stamp and schlepping to the mailbox versus not leaving the couch: the solution seems obvious.

E3 bonanza
All the latest announcements from the gaming world, including info on LittleBigPlanet and Resistance 2 for the PS3, Wii Music and some big changes for the Xbox 360.

iPhone: The complete review
Joe dons his flame-retardant feetie pyjamas and enters the fire-rimmed realm of the Apple fanboys clutching his contentiously low-scored iPhone review.

Tonium Pacemaker
What the world needs now is more amateur club DJs. Thankfully Tonium is filling this aching chasm by offering up the Pacemaker portable deck-spinning device, which allows you to mix tracks in the supermarket queue.
