Peter Hines (@phineas66) is the winner of today’s Mobile Industry Review Newsletter competition. If you recall, we were giving one of these away: That’s an Amplicom M5010 handset which is 100% ideal for any elderly relative. It’s a simple telephone.

Got an Android handset? You need ThickButtons!
Got news in today from ThickButtons. They’re introducing their all new method of text input on Android phones. Whilst there’s been a lot of attention going to Swype’s rather jazzy text-input facility, I think you should take a look at ThickButtons. Quite simply, it looks at what you’re typing and makes the probably next letters [...]

Sam at We Are Feral, the London-based digital design collective is on the hunt for a BlackBerry developer. If you’re available right-away, talk to him. He’s sam at weareferal.co.uk. Their website doesn’t seem to be working at the moment but I’m sure his email is operational. (via MoMoLondon)
Applications That Help Me Every Day
I can’t believe just how much I rely on my mobile devices nowadays. I went to University without a mobile phone and I got on perfectly well. I lived through my teenage years without having a mobile handset glued to my ear. I am continually wondering what happened to change my perspective on the mobile [...]
HoloToy’s iPhone app delivers 3D without glasses
Have you checked out HoloToy’s iPhone app? It’s the work of one man — Ben Hopkins — who’s taken advantage of the brain’s visual processing expectations to make images appear 3D, even though they’re actually flat images. He uses the angle of the device to present a believable 3D scene. It’s really quite remarkable. You’d [...]

Simon Maddox strikes again! One of Europe’s most prolific iPhone (and Android) developers, the latest work from Mr Simon Maddox has hit the iPhone app store this evening.

BlackBerry Messenger’s barcode creator for Facebook
I’ve been taking a look at the new BlackBerry Messenger (“BBM”) app for Facebook. It’s due to become available at the end of the week — and it’s a piece of genius. Whilst the rest of the market is obsessing over the iPhone, BlackBerry is quietly continuing to shift millions of units. 20% of the [...]
Telmap & BlueSky deliver A-GPS sim card based navigation solution
If your phone doesn’t have built-in location features (and it won’t if it’s a low cost device), then decent GPS navigation will require you to go and buy a personal navigation device or “PND” as they are known. Often that PND could end up costing 5 times as much as your actual handset. What do [...]
I’m having a baby! Your help required…
My wife and I are in the process of enhancing our existence with a joint-augmented new reality paradigm. i.e. We’re having a baby. More accurately, she’s having the baby. I’m bravely standing by, dutifully watching the awful baby programmes on television where possible and getting ready to attend the upcoming baby birthing classes. I think [...]
