Jobs I’d Like To Have: Windows Mobile
As regular readers of Mobile Industry Review will know, I delight in discussing (nay, ripping-to-shreds) the merits of the Windows Mobile experience with people who should know better. It’s such a thoroughly cathartic experience, it really is. The red-rag-to-my-bull is somebody sitting in front of me and passing Windows Mobile off to me as something [...]
British iPhone plots his Apple iPhone data usage
For any mobile operator about to introduce the iPhone (I’m looking at you, Vodafone and you, Orange, in the UK), this will be of interest. MIR reader, Derosnec, posted a comment this morning on yesterday’s iPhone operator poll discussion.
HulloMail’s Blackberry app makes their service even more valuable
I’ve been testing out the HulloMail Blackberry application for a little while now and I am thoroughly, thoroughly delighted. The service, previous to the app, was still fantastic – but I found it ever so slightly annoying having to phone up to listen to messages in sequence. On my desktop, no problem, I just click [...]
A video tour of the new DropBox iPhone app
I’m a long time user of DropBox on my desktops and laptops — I have a about 35 gig stored on the service. DropBox gives me peace of mind — my local data is constantly backed up (with multiple and, if I like, unlimited versions), my data is synched ‘live’ with as many computers as [...]

Vodafone UK customers will get iPhone 3GS
Just yesterday I was getting a notable amount of email and phone calls from really quite annoyed Vodafone executives about Orange’s iPhone announcement yesterday. There was a significant amount of discussion across the mobile community yesterday, a lot of it directed at how rubbish Vodafone had been for not getting the iPhone. I mean… how [...]
Help: Icelandic company wants to buy UK premium rate services
I’ve been sent another marketplace request this evening, this time from a company in Iceland. They’ve got a thriving mobile sports messaging alerts service which, of course, runs on premium rate. They emailed to ask how the UK does business and I explained that it was eminently possible to contract with one company to provide [...]
Is your Nokia 5800 completely screwed too?
Has your Nokia 5800 turned into a gibbering mass of electronic rubbish, useful only for hammering nails into walls and as a good looking paperweight? MIR reader, Matt, has been suffering with his 5800 ever since he bought it. He even had to engineer is own fix for the battery involving some scissors and a [...]
Can I hire you? Yes you can!
I just got off the phone with a chap who’s been trying very hard to get in touch with a mobile handset manufacturer. He reckoned his offering could potentially transform a particular handset range. I had a listen to what he was proposing and agreed with the general concept. But there was a problem. It [...]
