I was chatting to Patrick Smith of Joshua PR the other day. I’ve not spoken to him for a while, so I asked him what he’s been up to. It turns out he’s been busy working on a project that is miles away from his usual mobile, PR stuff. Instead he’s been getting ready to [...]

Checking out the Acer Liquid Android handset
I’ve been checking out the Acer Liquid Android handset — Acer’s first Android device. I’ve been looking forward to actually getting hands-on with the device because I’m excited to see what manufacturers make of the platform. Initial impressions are good. I like what they’ve done with the device. Just to be clear, the Liquid is [...]
The Symbian London Stammtisch is coming soon
If you’re wondering what the hell the ‘Stammtisch‘ is, then wonder no more. It’s German for ‘the regular’s table’ or ‘regular get-together’. The Symbian chaps in London regularly hold get-togethers all across the world. It’s a super way of connecting with Symbian’s team and asking them for input, perspective or assistance — and it’s also [...]
HTC Smart (the Brew one) launches on India’s Airtel at £148 price point
Good news for Qualcomm and HTC as they continue their race across the simply stupendously large development marketplace. To India, then — Bharti Airtel have announced that they will launch the HTC Smart in 30 Indian cities. The ‘market operating price’ will be 9,990 Rupees — or approximately 148 Pounds Sterling ($222). Now in a [...]
Vodafone is on a roll; opens Legend pre-ordering
Vodafone’s UK handset team are on a roll. They really are. If you’re looking for a new handset and one of the widest selections of new handsets, you should be examining Vodafone. Hardly a week goes by when I haven’t had a piece of news in from the nice ladies at Shine Communications telling me [...]
BBC urged to delay iPhone apps because competition cannot hack it
You’ve heard of the great British Broadcasting Corporation, I trust? For the avoidance of doubt and for the international readers, let me point out that the BBC works for me. For me and for the rest of the Great British public. If you own a television or a ‘wireless’ (“radio”) you must — by law [...]
Report: Two new iPhones on the way
Right then, let’s get guessing. The Wall Street Journal’s Yukari, Ting-I and Niraj are big on what they reckon is coming with iPhone. They’re quoting ‘people briefed on the matter‘. Whenever I see those type of things, I can’t help but think of Jim Hacker from the BBC’s Yes, Prime Minister sitting with a journalist [...]
Why any sane individual with $499 is getting an iPad
If you’re thinking about purchasing an iPad, have a watch of these Apple-made guided tour videos. I’m having two. Or three.
Windows Mobile demo videos – interesting stuff
Microsoft has launched a round of videos showing off the next version of Windows Mobile. It’s very interesting to see how they’re marketing them. (These videos will only work for UK users unfortunately.) First up — Windows Marketplace: Windows Phone demo: Windows Live demo: Internet Explorer on Windows Mobile: Windows Mobile email: My first reaction [...]
My Kingdom For An iPhone Rival
It’s a shame, it really is. By the end of this week, almost every person in my close family will be sporting an Apple iPhone as their primary communications device. Both my parents, both my parents-in-law, my two brothers, my wife and one of her sisters. Of the 10 people in my immediate family, 8 [...]
Ordering Pizza tonight? Check out Papa’s Mobile Web App
Ever since I was astounded to hear just how much revenue Pizza Hut was doing through their iPhone app, I’ve had my eye out for news from the other worldwide pizza chains to see what they’re planning from a mobile perspective. Recently I got a note through from Papa Johns who, instead of going iPhone-App-crazy [...]
Real Men of Genius: Mr Cell Phone Holster Wearer
Kudos to reader David Middleton who pointed this video in my direction. It’s part of the Bud Light tribute to ‘Real Men of Genius’ and focuses on cell phone holster wearers. Mobile Industry Review is, I’m sure you’ll be pleased to know, a holster free zone. Have a watch and do forward to anyone you [...]
