Just been into the Orange store on Carnaby Street. They sold out of their new Android HTC Hero almost immediately. According to the chap I spoke to, most of Orange’s London stores have also sold out completely. The chap advised reserving one if, like me — and, it seems, the rest of the UK — [...]
Can SpinVox spin their way out of this?
I’m sure you’ve heard of SpinVox – the UK-based firm that turns your voicemails into texts. And I’m pretty certain you’ve probably used them at some point – or know someone who has. There’s been rumours flying around since SpinVox first surfaced that the clever technology that recognises speech and turns it into a pretty [...]
o2: You can’t upgrade your iPhone to 3GS
I popped into the o2 store on Chiswick High Street to see if it was possible to upgrade my old iPhone 3G to a super dooper iPhone 3GS. Unfortunately the answer was no. Which I found strange. Given that a ton of people I know have done so. I questionned the chap in the shop, [...]
InfoBip launches new ‘Vanguard’ UK SMS service
I had a note from the guys over at InfoBip the other day about their new SMS offering. Called ‘Vanguard’, it provides a direct connection to UK mobile networks with only one SMSC between the sender and the recipient. ‘So what’, I hear you ask. ‘Surely all SMS providers are the same?’ No, they’re not [...]

o2 Litmus App Showdown competition: A developer’s concerns
I published a post on Monday about the o2 Litmus App Showdown competition offering £10k for iPhone developers interested in participating. It seemed like a pretty good idea to me and I reckoned quite a lot of developers would be tempted. I then heard from regular reader, Simon Maddox. By day, Simon is a developer [...]

London iPhone Developer wanted for MIR class: Is this possible?
I’d like to build an iPhone application myself. I don’t reckon it’s that difficult. Whilst I’m an avid PHP programmer — one of my companies provides rapid-application-development for the financial industry here in London (LOVE helping out whenever I can) — but I don’t know if I’ve got the time to learn how to program [...]

The always reliable Neil Robertson took copious notes at last night’s Mobile Monday London event.

Here we go: – – – – – Tonight was another Mobile Monday London session and despite [...]

Is this every device in the 2009 Android pipeline?
It’s already been a great year for Android fans; the HTC Magic, Samsung i7500/Galaxy and HTC Hero have all impressed. But what else can we expect to see this year? Google are predicting 18 – 20 devices launched by the end of 2009 – so I thought it would be useful to do a round [...]
