Just imagine the LG Renoir running Android. You know, proper email, proper instant messaging, extensible application layer, shit-shit-shit-HOT 8 megapixel camera, super music capabilities… I’m hopeful, I really am, that at some point this year — EARLY this year — somebody from LG will formally announce a few handsets running Android. There’s just something so [...]

MIR Developers: Geoff Casely of Nimbuzz
I’ve always been a big fan of the Nimbuzz client — and their iPhone application is nigh-on-orgasmic. So I was pleased when Geoff Casely, VP of Manufacture Markets for Nimbuzz, managed to pop along to the MIR Developers networking event last week. He talks to us about the next steps for Nimbuzz and gives a [...]
Jonathan Jensen on Thursday – A bright future for WiFi
Recently I’ve had several conversations with people about the future of WiFi. The debate around WiFi versus 3G data is a contentious one that frequently provokes a frank exchange of views! However this ‘either or’ debate misses the point because WiFi and 3G should be viewed as complementary, rather than competing, wireless access methods. I’m [...]
New editorial policy: Windows Mobile Phones SUCK
I had an email from a very nice lady representing Acer. Acer, of course, are launching a mobile handset shortly. I was dead keen to hear from her. She did a brilliant job of pitching me. Unfortunately Acer have decided to launch their first handset with … Windows Sodding Mobile. I’ve had enough. That’s it, [...]
Operators offering SIM only data deals
I had an email in from a reader by the name of Mark wondering if I was aware of any vendors that do SIM only data deals. I was initially about to start rhyming off most of the UK (and quite a few international) networks until I realised that I think almost every deal I [...]
Nimbuzz growing at 20k users a day
It’s all good at Nimbuzz towers. I’m just editing tomorrow’s video of Geoff Casely from Nimbuzz (filmed at the MIR Developers Event last week) — and in the first minute he made that statement about user growth. Impressive! Most of the traffic is coming from iPhone users. Right on. Have you seen the Nimbuzz iPhone [...]
Samsung’s new 16GB Android Handset? PLEASE!
… probably isn’t coming to market on Monday. Rob just posted news about the much rumoured new Samsung handset apparently due for announcement on Monday. I’d love to say it’s a brilliant Android handset. But I’m preparing myself, mentally, for disappointment.
Twitter filing for IPO
Bet I made you click! Now Twitter ISN’T filing for IPO. No sir. But … Sit back for a moment and think about that headline. How would you react if that was accurate? My first viewpoint? Dotcom Boom. My second viewpoint? Geez, the market’s really moving again. Have a read of this rather refreshing balls-out [...]
Google Latitude arrives to rip the arse out of mobile location services
I did a call on Twitter for 140 character (or more) immediate reactions to Google’s modification to Google Maps. The new feature, Latitude, is a setting on the menu of Google Maps 3.0 available for download today. Now you can see your Google friends visually on Google Maps. It works rather well and the ramifications [...]
Exclusive: Samsung to launch new phone on Monday
We’ve been tipped off that Samsung are set to launch a new phone on Monday, with a ‘big, big’ announcement to back ‘big, big’ news. There was a private press pre briefing today in London all under embargo that we weren’t invited to, but we’re hearing good things are afoot. We’d like to bring you [...]
Nokia releases SMS cleaner
Nokia has released a program that will clear a s60 phone that has been infected with the specially crafted SMS message. Once installed the system will ask permission to run the program, it will then do its stuff and de-install. The phone will then reboot in a clean state. Maybe SonyEricsson will release a version [...]

Android is expected to launch in a few day and an iPhone version as part as Google Mobile App at some point. To download just [...]
