Pibbix Voicemail is here. You probably haven’t heard of them before, but you’re going to start hearing a lot more about them shortly. They’re a small telephony-focused startup that I’ve been following for quite some time. Their first product is Pibbix Voicemail. At first glance, it’s a terrifically simple system. It’s what’s coming next that’s [...]

Looking at the future of voicemail
For a long time, I’ve been mulling the possibility of creating a video series on the future of voicemail. Indeed, on the face of it, absolutely nothing has changed to my standard mobile operator voicemail service since I got my first mobile handset, decades ago. I can store — what? — 10 voicemail messages at [...]
Video: 2.5-year-old using iPad without hesitation
I’ve been holding off too much in the way of iPad commentary, baring Michael’s iPad-iPad-iPad post over the weekend (he waited in line at the Apple Store in San Francisco). I won’t comment on the iPad usability and so on until my one has arrived and I’ve had time to play. (It is currently clearing [...]
Novophone: One of the coolest handset accessories you can buy
That there is the Novophone. It’s a fashionable and functional ‘retro’ receiver. At least that’s how the manufacturers explain it, and you know what, I tend to agree with them. Think ‘bluetooth headset’ without the bluetooth — and with a curly wire instead. And if you buy it in ‘fire’ red, you’ll be guaranteed to [...]
Are you going to BlackBerry’s WES event in Florida? I might see you there!
I’ve just got my registration confirmation through from the BlackBerry WES event. It’s in Orlando, Florida, on the 27-29th April. Not long to go. I’ll be taking the camera and I’m looking forward to connecting with some talented RIM developers. There’s definitely still time to register — and you can find all the relevant information [...]
Video: The Rafe Blandford Interview
I am delighted to bring you this rare treat! An exclusive sit down interview with Rafe Blandford, founder and editor of All About Symbian. I filmed this whilst we were at the Symbian London headquarters interviewing many of their team. There was a break in proceedings whilst we waited for some more interview subjects to [...]
iPad, iPad iPad. iPad? iPad… iPad!
As the title to this post might suggest, the iPad has been on my mind, and if Techmeme is an accurate zeitgeist of the webernets, it’s on everyone else’s mind too. As I write this, 10 of the top 12 stories on the Techmeme are about the iPad. So I got one on Saturday. In [...]
My kingdom for an iPad: Buy me one and I’ll send FedEx for it
Ok so flying to America for the day just to buy an iPad is silly. It has been explained to me by many, not least my wife, that it would not be an efficient use of time and resources. That is despite an array of ‘could change the world’ explanations. So. If you’re going to [...]
Flying to NYC to pick up an iPad. Want one? [updated with costs, reality check]
I’m giving serious thought to flying to NYC this weekend to pick up an iPad. Whatever you think of the device, of Apple, of the fanboy attitudes, this is a device that is going to change the world. Or nail Apple to the wall. I think it’s probably the former. That being said, there’s not [...]

We’re in the exciting phase of working with a major client and need additional team resource for the project. If you’re [...]
Microsoft’s $100 billion Nokia acquisition: Absolutely unbelievable! [April Fool!]
