I just noticed this on the email I was sent from Mobile Industry Review reader, Vlad, about the Seidio G1 battery. I posted the piece earlier — then on the bottom of the Google Reader email, saw an advert from T-Mobile for the G1. Incidentally the deal is you get the G1 free with 700 [...]

Seidio’s extended battery for the G1
Thanks to Mobile Industry Review reader, Vlad, who shared me a Google Reader item he picked up about a new battery for the T-Mobile G1. Sorely needed. The device is continually online (if you’ve got it switched to constant-sync for email and the like) which does screw your battery quickly. Uberphones report that Seidio has [...]

Who’s loving the Blackberry Storm then?
That’s the Blackberry Storm been out for a little while now. Who’s got one — and kept it? Anyone reading? The device itself wasn’t for me. I really didn’t like the keyboard — and I felt the build quality wasn’t necessarily up my street either. That said, I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed the massive screen. I [...]
The useless element with Vodafone Passport
Vodafone’s answer to ridiculous roaming charges whilst abroad is Vodafone Passport. At least in the UK. It’s generally automatically enabled on most new accounts and you don’t have to pay anything extra to qualify. Indeed if you’d like to check if it’s activated, you can call 5555 in the UK, plus it’s not restricted to [...]
ShoZu Picture Of The Day
Today’s ShoZu Picture Of The Day is another one I took whilst in Val d’Isere. Or, more accurately, on the way back. I didn’t quite understand Eurostar’s timetable and, as a result, I embarked via Ashford International (leaving the car in their car park) and, most annoyingly, found that the return train only stops at [...]

iPhone accounts for 10% of US WiFi use
According to Admob Apple’s iPhone accounted for 10% of all WiFi use in the US, this compared to 10-20% for all other WiFi enabled handsets. WiFi use is expected to grow as more phones have both cellular and WiFi radio and more people use WiFi for data access. It’s also cheaper for the MNOs for [...]
UIQ on last legs
UIQ which was the user interface on top of Symbian developed by SonyEricsson and Motorola, both companies are concentrating on other operating systems and the UIQ business unit has filed for bankruptcy protection. The main competitor is Nokia’s S60 (which also sits on top of Symbian) and it looks like the Finns have won the [...]
Skype: Am I missing something?
I am currently reviwing the INQ 1, and it has a inbuilt Skype client which is heavily promoted in its advertising and some would even say the INQ 1 is simply the Skype Phone version 3. I have 2 Skype contacts, that’s it! Who actually uses Skype?? This really hit home when reading a post [...]
