Let’s not bother with the fact that Blackberry was a little late to the party, having not given the concept of an online applications store a moment of attention until Steve Jobs unveiled a the half billion dollar iTunes App Store economy almost overnight. No. Let’s embrace the fact that Blackberry has turned up to [...]

Hyundai hits the UK mobile handset market with 15 handsets en route
The global behemoth, Hyundai, has entered the UK mobile handset market. Big time. There’s no toe-in-the-water nonsense from Hyundai. Nope. They’re hitting the market with 2, followed by 10 to 15 new handsets this year. That’s THE FIRST HALF of this year. Come on! A little bit of competition, eh? Plus you might get a [...]
MIR Show – jMac takeover – Dusan Hamlin of InsideMobile
It’s time for the fourth episode in the Jonathan MacDonald series here on Mobile Industry Review. Today Jonathan interviews Dusan Hamlin of Inside Mobile. Dusan has been around the block when it comes to mobile marketing and advertising — so the conversation is pretty wide-ranging across the mobile marketing sphere. If you’re any way associated [...]
Broadband ‘Connected Britain’ Is Rubbish
I am currently uploading a 120mb MIR Show video at the whopping WHOPPING average speed of 18.5k per second. Fluck all use that ‘cloud’ is when I’m whizzing away at 18.5k/sec. In fact thinking back about 15 years ago, if I was lucky, I got similar speeds on my 56k modem. I’m using an 8mb [...]
Turn a BlackBerry Storm into a spirit level
In what can only be described as one of the most bizarre uses of a mobile phone, we bring you news of an application for the BlackBerry Storm that turns it into a building tool. Seen over at Crackberry.com and available through their own app store here, the Storm Level Pro is a funky little [...]
The ZumoDrive iPhone client has arrived
The ZumoDrive chaps have been kind enough to send me over a copy of their iPhone client. I am thoroughly excited at the possibility of being able to ‘use’ my 60gb’s worth of iTunes library on my 16gb iPhone. If you missed the ZumoDrive overview I published over the weekend, find it here.
Vodafone’s dismal online billing service needs an upgrade
It’s problem Monday. A moment ago it was iTunes DRM annoying the hell out of me, and this morning it’s mobile operator front-end billing platforms. You know the kind I mean — the ones held together by sticky-tape and a lot of panicking by teams at Accenture, Detica or whoever it is that’s actually running [...]
iTunes ‘Plus’ will rock if I can put tracks on my Nokia
I logged into iTunes the other day and was prompted by a huge message at the top of my screen to consider going ‘DRM-free’. DRM-free to me means I can play my iTunes tracks on my Nokia. Or LG. Or any other music-capable device. But I can’t quite get a straight answer from anywhere as [...]
ShoZu Photo Of The Day: Nokia Exclusives
Today’s ShoZu Photo Of The Day is from our very own Ben Smith. If you remember way-back in — was it November? — we were sent a Nokia E63 to test by the useful and industrious WOMWorld guys. It arrived in Ben’s office and within seconds the world was having a look: I asked Ben [...]
RumourMill: Palm prē to be on Vodafone in the UK
In what appears to be another leak, Vodafone could be getting the latest handset from Palm with their very latest OS later on this year. Trumping all the other networks vying for the ultimate iPhone killer to be with them, bar O2 of course. The website MobileTopSoft ran a piece indicating news from ‘Vodafone officials’ [...]
** UPDATE ** N97 UK arrival date leaked ** UPDATE **
Details have been listed on Play.com of the actual in store date of the N97, much much earlier than expected – March 31st. Hurrah! Spotted by Pocket-Lint is this revelation of revelations over the stores website seen here, heavily pre-empting any official announcement by Nokia themselves. Only a month ago we brought you news the [...]
