I had a note in from the DeviceAnywhere team today to let me know that they’ve now added the iPad into their handset line-up so you can now remotely use and control an iPad with their service. So if you’d like to see if your app *actually* works on a real live iPad (as apposed [...]
Video: Four new handsets just arrived for your Gran
I’ve just had four new handsets arrive from Matob Mobile, specialists in easy to use, basic, big button phones.

The Future of Voicemail Video Series: Introduction
The Future of Voicemail Video Series is coming shortly to Mobile Industry Review. For a long time I’ve been pondering the possibilities of the medium of voicemail. For years it’s been overlooked.

Flirtomatic: Liberal Democrats surge ahead on Super Snogs
Flirtomatic, the Great British mobile flirting success story has been running a general election poll. (If you’re not up on British politics, there’s a general election due tomorrow) As all of Flirto’s users are 18+ and they’re fairly evenly spread across the country, it could well represent a reasonable youth demographic.

Mobile navigation service, Waze, hits the BlackBerry platform
I had a note in from the team at free navigation service, Waze, to let me know that they’ve launched an early beta version of Waze for BlackBerry. If you haven’t come across Waze before, it’s a simply fantastic community mapping service that quite a lot of people are going nuts over. The service enables [...]
Evernote wins a well deserved Webby
Congratulations to the Evernote team. They won the Best Mobile Application category at last night’s 14th Annual Webby Awards event. If you haven’t checked out Evernote, I strongly recommend you do so. It’s a great too for storing stuff — photos, notes, lists, PDFs, anything. It runs beautifully on the iPhone (and even sexier, on [...]
