Regan looks after Android and Mobile Internet for T-Mobile — so a useful chap to know if you’re into developing applications for Android.

The new media economy with Twitter at the heart
I’ve been watching the Twitter phenomenon closely over the past days and I tell you, it’s getting more and more exciting watching the mainstream — and even new-mainstream media — trying to figure it out. For so long we’ve been used to reading The Times — for example — and getting the news, with *authority* [...]
Toshiba slims down with new handset
At the only mobile phone launch in London MIR didn’t attend in months, Tosh launched the TG01 – the slimmest of the slim phones, pre-empting the Mobile World Congress announcements by a matter of weeks. Toshiba is calling this handset a ‘revolution in mobile entertainment’, how it presents itself by backing up this claim is [...]
How long before we see Stephen Fry ‘TV’ via Twitter?
Twitter is definitely moving into celebrity-territory now. Last night, Stephen Fry got stuck in a lift. Or an elevator. How did I know this? Well, I first noticed after a few of my Twitter friends — Martin and Jonathan — pointed out that after my rant about #uksnow, I was liable to go positively ballistic [...]
Twitter hits mainstream in today’s The Sun newspaper
The Sun, the biggest newspaper in the UK, consistently sets the agenda for the mainstream media throughout the country and often abroad.

Sky+ HD box = kaput. Now what?
Last week whilst I was trying to watch Stephen Fry and Jonathan Ross talking about Twitter on BBC1, my Sky+ HD box — not more than 2.5 months old — screwed up. It’s making a clicking sound and failing to boot. Sounds to my highly inexperienced ears like a hard disk failure. Uber annoying. Uber [...]

Any registered Betavine user (and it’s free to register) can enter. Widgets can be developed by teams, but entries will only be accepted from individuals, so it [...]

The are 1.64m iPhone users accessing the site, closely followed by 1.56m Blackberry users. Another 1m come in from other sources (these are only accesses from officially sanction Facebook Mobile clients or through [...]
Taking the Mobile Industry Review show to Kabul, Tehran and Pyongyang
I’ve had a few emails from people today — and there’s been one comment posted from reader Ant Carroll. This gist of the feedback has been words to the effect of ‘Rome: Great’ (we’ve just published the preview video of our trip to Italy over the weekend) but what about somewhere REALLY interesting. Ant commented [...]
