There is a crisis happening in the world. What denim do you wear to carry your phone. You could give up on denim and go with cargo pants 24/7 — for all the roomy, low-hung pockets your legs can handle. Heck cargo pants can even hold iPads. But but there’s an alternative: The First Edition Jeans by I/O Pocket, the 100-percent-cotton men’s jeans with a dedicated smartphone compartment.

The challenge with designing clothing that stashes gadgets is always the bulk or fit, particularly when it comes to large-screen phones. But I/O Denim manages to keep the tailoring slim by putting the smartphone pocket in the side seam. The placement is smart. It’s further away from your butt, so it won’t take the brunt of your weight if you sit on it. And unlike the front pocket, it’s relaxed, which means you won’t have to dig like crazy. The space can fit smartphones with screens measuring up to 4.8-inches. So Note 2 owners are out of luck.

It has been nearly 4 months since I started my blog. In that period I have posted nearly 700 articles, reviewed 8 top devices including the latest phone from HTC, the HTC One.

The audience is truly global with over 130 countries visiting the site.

I have also made a commitment NOT to have advertising for the time being. To try and offset this lack of income, I have set up a donations page. If any of you would like to make a donation, click here .

But more importantly I would like to thank you all for taking the time to read, enjoy, comment and engage with me in Gavin’s Gadgets.

And there’s one more thing, as Steve Jobs would say, Gavin’s Gadgets is now at www.gavinsgadgets.co.uk

Last night some of my twitter buddies started chatting about old tech and then about me. The conversation is posted below and is rather fun to read. Also great people to follow on twitter.

This was my first mobile device, a Sharp IQ-7000. 64kb memory! I hated the A-Z keyboard. Followed it with a Psion S3 twitpic.com/cinmt4

@scoffer @stmcgill You guys make me feel bad that I’ve never kept any of my old gadgets! Wish I had kept my Pocket LOOX.

@crimsonsky76 @stmcgill I’ve an Apple Newton 2000 too, the really big one.

@scoffer @crimsonsky76 I hated the Newton- far too big, but I can see the geek appeal. Got one from eBay and sold it 2 days later.

@stmcgill @crimsonsky76 me too, got it off eBay and somehow it’s stayed around

@scoffer @stmcgill Hee hee. Gavin must be in bed because I’m sure he’d need a trailer to hold all his old gadgets!

Shaun McGill (@stmcgill)

@crimsonsky76 @scoffer He is probably in bed next to his gadgets:):):)

@stmcgill @scoffer But remember that for Gavin, old is anything more than a week old! 😛

@crimsonsky76 @scoffer No, old is 2 days. A week is retro to Gavin. Gavin- wake up!

Donald Stidwell (@crimsonsky76)

@stmcgill @scoffer ROTFL! He usually pops up like 4 or 5 a.m. your time which is still awake time here.

@crimsonsky76 @stmcgill noticed that, he’s always up before me, blogging. If he ever sleeps!

Facebook is now charging users between 71 pence and £10 to send messages to celebrities. The price varies dependent on how popular Facebook determine the celebrity is.

Surely this goes against treating customers fairly. The user has no guarantee the celebrity will be bothered to read the message, so clearly its just money for old rope.

Or am I totally wrong?
