I was playing with an Nokia N900 device today. I loved it when I tried it out late last year — and I still love it today. It’s definitely not a consumer device but if it’s any indicator of what we can expect from Anssi Vanjoki’s top range Smartphone division, bring it on. Have you [...]

The Apple iteration effect: “This is how Apple rolls”
Stasys over at UnwiredView tweeted a link to this MacWorld post by John Gruber, the chap behind Daring Fireball. It’s a really useful look at how Apple operates that a lot of companies in the industry would do well to examine closely. Apple, as John points out, rarely ever bring out a new product at [...]

Samsung Wave handset coming soon to Vodafone
There’s not been that much to say about Samsung’s Bada platform recently. Other than ‘it looks very nice’ and ‘it should be good’ I’ve been reduced to explaining that whilst I saw it at Mobile World Congress, I couldn’t comment further.

Nokia’s perception problem continues
Matt Warman is the Consumer Technology Editor at The Telegraph. Today he’s published a post asking, What does Nokia need to do to become relevant again?.

Proporta’s Smart cases are looking pretty funky
News in from British gadget manufacturer, Proporta. They’ve just released a new range of truly eco friendly mobile accessories focused around the iPad and other smartphones. All accessories are made from sustainable bamboo, recycled leather and hessian. I like it! Apparently bamboo was chosen due to it’s 28000 psi tensile strength which is apparently 20% [...]
Save me from the chip & PIN nightmare, please!
I’ve had it with chip & PIN payments. I simply can’t stand it any more. First, though, let me explain. A few years ago, the United Kingdom financial institutions, tired of the ridiculous amount of credit card fraud that they — ultimately — had to pay for, decided to implement chip & PIN credit and [...]
The Orange Rio: £55
These Orange Rio handsets are rather interesting. At first glance they are BlackBerries, on further inspection they are something else. And they are simply £55 each on Pay As You Go. Plus, on the Dolphin PAYG tariff, email, chat and browsing is included. Very interesting. I will need to take a closer look! Posted via [...]
