James Whatley isn’t having a good day. Despite the fact he’s traversing Mont Blanc (or something like that, in the Alps), and although the scenery is simply fantastic, he’s experienced a tragic set of circumstances. He’s ‘dun-in’ his beautiful Nokia N86. Have a look: The screen is, of course, smashed. The softkeys are unusable. BUUUT [...]

3′s mobile wifi (“MiFi”) package revealed, take a look!
Remember we recently brought you the *must have* gadget for mobile desktop ninjas, the Novatel Wireless 2352 MiFi unit? Well, 3UK are launching their own version. This month. September 18th to be precise. (Or the night before if you’re talking with the telesales/online people). Have a look: It’s rather nifty, eh? Here’s the release from [...]
Is your old mobile worth £1000? This one is
I don’t normally pay much attention to anything the Daily Mail says – if I did to be honest I’d probably be holed up in a panic room surviving on bread and water as every other type of food known to man causes some terrible disease and modern Britain is too dangerous to venture outside. [...]
London ambulance wingman reading the A-to-Z
I was in London’s Soho tonight for a meal with my book publisher (more on that soon) and at the end of the night, I headed over to Leicester Square tube. I was just about to cross one of the characteristically small Soho roads when an ‘air ambulance’ car came screaaaaaaaming round the corner, with [...]
On the face of it, Maemo looks fuuuuuuuuuuking nice
Have you watched the all new Nokia Maemo introductory video yet? I recommend you take 2 minutes to watch it. On the face of it, Maemo — and the N900 running it — looks incredible. The video does a brilliant job of showing an integrated (internet supported) communications experience. The finger controlling the handset appears [...]
Spotify for iPhone will boost premium accounts dramatically
I first saw a demonstration of Spotify for iPhone way back, months and months ago when the concept of being able to use the service via multiple continually updated platforms was a pipe dream. It was shit-hot then. And it’s shit-hot now. MocoNews has been all over the news today that Spotify for iPhone has [...]
Finally, a two-way SMS hairdresser
I need my hair cut. Again. It grows like no tomorrow, it really does. So last time I was getting it cut, I raised many shaped eyebrows when I asked for my next appointment in three weeks. And three weeks is almost here. My appointment is on Saturday morning. I just got this prompt from [...]
Maemo 5 – Nokia’s next generation (and the N900)
I’ll be bringing you a ton more on the N900 device (and Maemo) during next week’s Nokia World event in Stuttgart. But meantime, here’s the official announcement from the Big F (“Finland”): Nokia today marked the next phase in the evolution of Maemo software with the new Nokia N900. Taking its cues from the world [...]
How would have mobile phones changed your wonder years?
I wish I had a mobile phone when I was growing up – more specifically, when I was in the age group five to ten. To be honest, that statement is slightly inaccurate. For the mobile phone to be really useful, my family and friends also should have had mobile phones, each with a very [...]
Installing Android on your Nokia N800
I completely screwed up my Nokia N800 tablet when I tried installing a very, very early version of Android on it, back in September last year. But now that the OS has been around the block and got a ton attention from a lot of smart developers, I think it might be time to try [...]
Spotify ‘makes more money than iTunes’ in Sweden
That was the headline of the piece I just read at Netimperative. To clarify, they’re reporting that according to an interview this month in Swedish Wire with Per Sundin, Head of Universal in Sweden, said: “In five months from the launch Spotify became our largest digital source of income and so passed by iTunes”, said [...]
