News just in from Orange! If you’d like to get your hands on the HTC Hero right-way, get your skates on. Pop into any Orange UK store tomorrow and there will be one sitting, waiting for you to love and cherish. If you’re quick. Indeed, I recommend calling ahead if you’re ultra-serious about picking one [...]

The Chiswickian Mobile Media Mixer is tonight!
I’ve just moved to Chiswick. I wasn’t keen. At all. My viewpoint of anyone who says they ‘live in London’ and then dispenses a ‘W4′ postcode, is withering. London is Mayfair, Marylebone, Soho, the Square Mile. Roughly anywhere inside the London Underground Zone 1 counts. But Chiswick? Come on. It’s even got a silent ‘w’ [...]
Global Messaging 2009 – a brief roundup
I spent an afternoon at the Global Messaging 2009 conference in London a little while back. Promising to ‘reverse the decline of messaging ARPUs’ and discussions on ‘strategies to grow messaging traffic and revenue’, the conference itself featured some big names from the likes of O2, IDC, MTN and Vodafone. But hang on a second, [...]
Blackberry Mac desktop software coming in September
Yes! Apple machines DO exist! Finally BlackBerry has decided to support the Apple platform — good news for those of us who’ve been using both Apples and Blackberries together. At some points in order to properly use my BlackBerry, I’ve had to install Windows on a VMWare Fusion instance. Ridiculous. So I’m pleased that someone, [...]
Tesco customers buying tons of Somin’s Land Rover S1 handsets
The Daily Mail today carried a pleasing bit of news about Somin’s new Land Rover S1 handset (as spotted by dabr genius, David Carrington). According to the article, the next generation Land Rover S1 is being retailed exclusive by Tesco online and in their stores. Tesco, if you’re not aware, is the UK’s behemoth supermarket [...]
Apollo 11 Guidance Computer emulated on a Palm Centro Mobile handset
On the Google Code blog today, Nathaniel Manista, posted a note about the open sourcing of the Command Module code (Comanche054) and Lunar Module code (Luminary099) used in the Apollo 11 moon landings. Yes. The *actual code*. Transcribed from scanned images and converted into an open source project. This is obviously to commemorate the 40th [...]
The Rise of Android: Mr Scoble might switch from iPhone, who else?
Well then, this is interesting. When The Silicon Valley Elite (“TSVE”) sit up and take notice of Android, the point at when the rest of the planet can stop obsessing about the iPhone may well be near. The iPhone, to the annoyance of many, has been continually punching above it’s weight (in the context of [...]
Can we all admit that ‘Mobile Web’ is total rubbish?
Long time SMS Text News and Mobile Industry Review columnist, Malcolm Murphy, is back! And he’s taking no prisoners with his first contribution to MIR 3.0: The mobile web is getting it in the neck. Read on to see if you agree. Over to you, Malcolm: – – – – – How do you access [...]
Touchnote spreading like wildfire; now posting to Sri Lanka
I was really pleased to see Shazly Makeen‘s MobyPicture earlier today. Shazly, by the way, is the chap behind S60-focused mobile tech site, WoM Lanka. He took a snap of his recently arrived Touchnote postcard: What’s pretty cool is that Shazly is based in Sri Lanka. He took the picture with his Nokia N82 and [...]
iPhone Developers: £10k prize from o2 Litmus
o2 Litmus, the application developer community for Telefonica’s o2, is running an iPhone Developer competition. Called The App Showdown, the competition offers a £10,000 prize to the winning application developer. The judges, well… they’re not an esteemed panel of mobile gods or mobile executives. Instead — and interestingly — the judging panel is going to [...]
Tomi Ahonen on “load of crap” incompetent mobile reporting from Forbes
Tomi Ahonen, the Don of mobile industry analysis, is seriously unimpressed by the article, ‘Nokia’s Motorola Moment‘ published by Parmy Olson on Forbes.com. Parmy echos the North American viewpoint that Nokia is all-over-the-place and going nowhere. Tomi was having none of it: What a load of crap. Rarely have I read a major publication get [...]
Will we all be clamouring for Nokia X and C-Series devices shortly?
Engadget Mobile reports (via digitoday) that Nokia has filed for trademarks for both ‘Cseries’ and ‘Xseries’. We’ve already got the N-Series — the multimedia computer style handsets such as the N95, N97 and so on — and of course, I’ve been a user of many of Nokia’s ‘business’ devices from the E-Series range (E61, E61i..) [...]
