Take a look at these screenshots: These are from the new version of Skyfire — version 0.9. They’ve really been innovating since I last took a look. The brilliance with Skyfire is that it gives you a ‘proper’ desktop browsing experience on your handset. There’s many a time when you’re out on the road that [...]

Flirtomatic users send each other REAL underwear and roses!

This Valentines Day, Flirtomatic has taken a step out of the virtual world and into reality. You know they ran a phenomenally successful campaign a while ago whereby users could user their paid credits to send each other virtual pints — that could then be redeemed in a pub for a real one? Flirto sold [...]

Here’s where I am on ZumoDrive

I’m throroughly enjoying ZumoDrive — the ‘data in the cloud’ service recently launched. I promised to bring you a perspective on their iPhone client. It’s excellent. Gives me direct access to 200gb’s of data. However I want to demonstrate it properly on camera. With iTunes. I’ve had tons of emails about how iTunes works on [...]

Once again, we revisit that preemptive of preemptive websites, the greatest leaker of leaks – Expansys, this time around it’s with Nokia’s forthcoming E75. Those marvellous, marvellous people over the online mobile phone resellers just really seem to be a fountain of information rather than just a fount of late. Only a few weeks back [...]

Jonathan Jensen on Thursday – Snow and making a drama out of a ‘crisis’!

Last week’s extreme weather conditions made little difference to me. Although I had planned to go to London on the Monday and Tuesday I changed my meetings to conference calls and worked at home. I actually had more productive days than I was anticipating! I’m always puzzled when we’re told not to make unnecessary journeys [...]

Om Malik chucks his iPhone and devolves to a Blackberry Curve

Om’s not been having a good time with his iPhone. Not at ALL. It’s understandable. If you’re a proper business user of communications, the iPhone is a rubbish primary device. Having to forever swipe the touch screen on is a good indicator of how bad it’s going to be. And the email client. It simply [...]

Nokia: We might build our own social network. Rubbish!

You have to wonder what planet Nokia live on sometimes. There’s some really, really talented people working there. Trouble is — and I’m definitely not alone in thinking this — the majority of the good people, the REAL smarties, are working at the just-below-director level.
