Taking photos and sharing them on the pre-release Nokia N900 is a joy, it really is. I’m flabbergasted by how Nokia have integrated the process together so that it’s so connected and so sensible. I had to pop out briefly to Sainsbury’s this afternoon (Americans: Sainsbury’s is a supermarket chain like Safeway). I took the [...]

Absolutely blown away by the N900
As you know I’ve been writing some pretty vehement opinions about Nokia’s output recently. Today, I’m at the opposite end of the scale having just received a pre-release N900 unit to test. This just goes to show how important it is to have hands-on. At Nokia World, I operated the camera whilst the always-informed Rafe [...]
CTIA Fall 2009 — Android’s Coming Out Party
The Fall CTIA is always the red-headed step child of the two CTIAs. At least they usually happen in San Francisco, the new center of the mobile universe, but this year, the Fall CTIA was in San Diego, and of the two CTIAs it was more like the red-headed step child with 11 toes. Attendance was [...]
It’s time to Tattoo your HTC Tattoo
HTC has, for years, been shipping good looking devices without reference to the burgeoning user requirements of case personalisation. Only today I was in Sainsbury’s standing in a queue whilst an executive in front of me chattered away on his Apple iPhone. He wasn’t doing well in the credibility stakes when he answered with the [...]

An unwitting introduction to InTechnology’s ‘pushToexperience’ service
Regularly I get emails with slightly dodgy contents. Indeed a whopping 98% of my incoming email is total spam, or from utter weirdos. Filtering the real from the made up, or mad, does take a bit of time. (One of the reasons I get so much spam is because I choose to publish my email [...]
Looking forward to Dell’s Android launch

According to sources speaking with The Wall Street Journal, the PC seller could introduce its Android-based phone as soon as early next year.

Who’s the arse using his phone for directions? Me!
I was on Chiswick High Street today trying to find a cash point that worked. Eventually I found the Natwest and managed to obtain some cash and as I departed the bank, a chap stopped me on the street. He was wearing a Tesco supermarket jacket. “Excuse me, mate,” he said. I turned round. “Do [...]
Are you loving your 3UK MiFi unit?
I’m getting good feedback from a lot of people who’ve popped down to their 3UK store and purchased one of the 3UK MiFI units. One of which is Liam Westley (one of the most knowledgeable and capable ultra-geeks I know). Liam is really delighted: So, what are my first impressions? This is a fantastic device; [...]
