Rafe Blandford’s hands-on with the Nokia N900 Maemo
At Nokia World, I sat down and had a play with the Nokia N900 Maemo device. It is, of course, pre-release  but that didn’t stop the nice looking interface begin to impress. What I really wanted to know though, was what Mr All About Symbian, Rafe Blandford, thought of the device. So I am [...]

oMbiel’s iPhone campusM mobile app for Universities
I’m trying out whether or not posting news in this format — by forwarding the release to Posterous and from there to the site — is any good. I know that Posterous typically struggles with line breaks (I usually have to add my own html to emails I write) so the output might look weird. [...]
Motorola’s DEXT Android phone on Orange: Could be very, very good
Last night the rain was, as the phrase goes, ‘coming down in buckets’. While most sensible folk were staying inside or heading home, I was doing the opposite, trudging along Millbank to get to Altitude on the 29th floor of the Millbank Tower.

Startups: Get on the Euro Tech Showcase today
I have been banging on for ages about startups thinking small. Far too small. It’s a total wind-up for me when I meet really, really good UK companies and find their management struggling. They’re not struggling through lack of talent, lack of ideas, lack of raw enthusiasm. They’re struggling, in the main, because of the [...]
Using your iPhone to watch Top Gun on the tube
What better use for mobile technology than to watch Top Gun on your iPhone surrounded by crowds on a packed tube. Can any eagle-eyed Top Gun fans spot the scene I captured in the shot above? Double points if you can supply a related and obligatory ‘your ego’s writing cheques your body can’t cash’ quote [...]

Vote: Will you be buying a MiFi personal wireless hotspot device?
This evening I’m off to check out the new 3UK MiFi personal wifi hotspot device from 3UK.
