So I was hosting an event today for some executives. I picked the Holiday Inn in Brentwood, Essex — near the M25 motorway. Convenient for everyone to get to — does ‘ok’ food and it’s got all the basics — including the obligatory and stupidly priced ‘high speed’ ibahn WiFi internet. That I can put [...]

iPhone Nano ‘in the works’
I saw a Tweet via Mike Butcher about the iPhone Nano. The author of the post on eetimes cites ‘various reports’ but doesn’t define them. I’ve heard a lot about the Nano and I’m looking forward to seeing the fruits of Apple’s labour. I’ve been highly frustrated with the fact that the iPhone is completely [...]
The INQ1 from 3 – speaker failure update
The internal speaker on my INQ1 failed so I couldn’t hear the other party without switching to the external speaker. I phoned 3 and was pleasantly surprised how quickly they agreed it was a hardware failure and would have to go back to them. I phoned them on Friday, received a prepaid Royal Mail Special [...]
Who does T-Mobile UK whitelisting?

ShoZu Photo Of The Day: Return of the Mac
I’ve been after promobs — that is, smart and sophisticated mobile geniuses (the opposite of normobs) — to send me their FIRST ever ShoZu-uploaded picture. It often makes for interesting viewing. Mac Morrison — aka mostlythis — responded and sent me a link to his first ever ShoZu upload to Flickr: Mac does point out [...]

School buses now come with free WiFi
These Icomera folks, the WiFi-in-public-transport chaps, are doing rather well. Fresh from sticking WiFi on buses all over the place, they’ve now done a deal with The Green Bus company. The Green Bus company are, as the press release states, ‘the emerging market leader in school transport thinking in the UK’. Clearly. If they’re putting [...]
We’ve done a wee update to MIR
If you’re from Scotland, you say ‘wee’ when you mean ‘little’ in English. It’s just a thing. So we’ve done a wee update to Mobile Industry Review. Have a look and let us know what you think. To set your expectations, it’s not revolutionary. It’s a work in progress. We’ve dumped the scrolling features. Whilst [...]
HTC’s Android Tungsten handset is a looker
Did you catch Rob’s overview of what appears to be HTC’s full product map for the year? I don’t know why HTC bothers to keep these things secret. We want to know. Provided it’s good news. And it looks like it may well be. Rob pulled out the Tungsten handset in his overview earlier today [...]
