Everything is booked and sorted for tonight’s MIR Developer’s Event. Starting next Monday we’ll have interviews with each developer going live every day on the site. We’ll be filming them this evening during the event. And whilst it’s efficient to get the cream of the city’s mobile development companies in one room for filming purposes, [...]

Jonathan Jensen on Thursday – BillMonitor and 47,220 mobile tariffs
Last week I met with Rebecca Jackson from BillMonitor. BillMonitor has been launched to address the key issue faced by all mobile users; which is the best tariff for me? There are already a number of price comparison tools on the web available from the usual price comparison websites; so what makes BillMonitor different? The [...]
Windows Mobile 6.5 leaks
News has come to us via NeoWin.net that ROMs for the HTC Touch Pro has already appeared in the wild. That veritable source of wonderment that’s the XDA developers forum, has the full ROM images, ready to be applied, for the HTC Diamond with a keyboard – as let’s face it, that’s what the handset [...]
It’s a dark day for Storms
The Wall Street Journal has just run a piece on the failings of the BlackBerry Storm and problems that plagued it soon after its launch in the States, some of which were clearly mirrored elsewhere in the world *cough* It’s an interesting read, which contains items that even our deft investigation did not uncover to [...]
Total Unmitigated Arse Spits at TechCrunch’s Michael Arrington
Did you hear about this? I saw the Tweet yesterday and was a little surprised. Michael writes: Yesterday as I was leaving the DLD Conference in Munich, Germany someone walked up to me and quite deliberately spat in my face. Before I even understood what was happening, they veered off into the crowd, just another [...]
ShoZu Photo Of The Day: Sun!
Good morning from Malaga. I’ve hijacked the ShoZu Photo Of The Day feature to bring you some much needed sun! I took this photo just a few moments ago on the iPhone and uploaded via ShoZu. It’s the view of the Mediterranean from the Melia Hotel. Even today at the end of January, there’s a [...]
Impulse Airport Purchase: Power Monkey
Bought another one today. We interviewed Power Monkey a few months ago. Genius products for charging your devices on-the-go. Comes with almost every connector you will ever need.

Vodafone Spain Concierge
For a moment I thought this might be a AQA style service which I was all ready to have a play with. But then I noticed I needed to phone someone. Why no Text Answer concierge style service? – Taken at 10:13 PM on January 27, 2009 – cameraphone upload by ShoZu
Normob is ‘ugly word’, use ‘people’ instead
Matt Edgar isn’t impressed with the term I coined a while back to describe normal mobile users: Normob. He’s really deeply unimpressed: But before you’re tempted to drop this particular neologism into your zeitgeisty telecoms discourse, just stop for a moment and listen to yourself. This must surely be one of the ugliest words not [...]
Mobile World Congress PR pitch top 10
Here’s the top 10 as it stands this morning on the MIR MWC PR pitch league: Skuku remains unchanged up there at 24 digs. A hot new mover is InnoPath — arriving in the number two slot, whilst Zcapes is still on 12 digs, putting them in third place. SpinVox are fourth with a paltry [...]
ShoZu Photo Of The Day – E51′s North Downs
Jonathan Jensen is our billing uber-expert and regular contributor here at Mobile Industry Review. Do can read his back catalogue here. Today’s ShoZu Photo Of The Day is from Jonathan. And his Nokia E51. When I read that in the email I thought, ‘uh oh — a picture from an E51..’ And whilst Jonathan says [...]
The MIR Developer’s Event is this Thursday evening
I’m getting rather excited about the MIR Developer event this Thursday. One of the big downsides for me about putting on large ‘unlimited drinks’ style events is that I spend the whole evening saying ‘hi’ to the hundreds of people who come along… only to not *actually* meet anyone. Everybody else chats amongst the heave [...]
