Fancy getting a look at the innards of the iPhone 4? Even the slight-geeks amongst us wouldn’t mind having a bit of a peer, right? Chipworks have done all the work for you in some detail — down to the silicon! Here are the company’s key findings: – The Apple A4 remains unchanged from the [...]

Uplinq 2010: Qualcomm’s mobile developer event
I’m flying into San Diego on Monday morning with the video equipment to attend Qualcomm’s Uplinq 2010 event. I’m very much looking forward to seeing what they’ll have going on. Qualcomm is a company that I’ve followed for quite a while, particularly because of their BREW platform. I’ll be very interested to see what Paul [...]
Google Android activating almost 5m devices a month
News in from Google’s VP of Engineering, Andy Rubin on Android’s growth: Every day 160,000 Android-powered devices are activated — that’s nearly two devices every second, used for the first time by people from New York to New Zealand 160,000 x 30 days = 4.8m a month or just short of 58m a year. Utterly [...]
Existing Times iPad App users get 1 month subscription free
Interesting to see that The Times team have decided to give all their existing subscribers — or iPad app purchasers — an additional 30 days subscription. The news arrived this afternoon by email for all subscribers. Why? Well it’s a token of their appreciation. One MIR reader wrote in with this comment: I like their [...]
Tamoggemon release first Qt-based Symbian game, JezzBall
I had a note in from Tam Hanna of mobile developers, Tamoggemon, to tell me they’ve launched their first ever Qt-based Symbian game. This is one to remember — the first ever Qt-based game release that I’ve been sent. I hope it’ll be one of many. The game is called BallZ and its a port [...]
Tesco’s iPhone 4 price plans are pretty good!
I have to say I’m consistently impressed with Tesco’s clear and straight forward iPhone pricing. I really do like how they’re pricing the device and the contracts. Whilst they’ve limited the options, I think this will make decisions for Tesco’s target consumer very, very easy. Here’s the tariff structure: Pay As You Go is nice [...]
The total fcuk-up that is ‘developer relations’
I have, for about a year or so, been witnessing nightmare scenarios all around the mobile developer relations market. From global operators to handset manufacturers and ISVs, it’s more or less the same: A total, unmitigated fcuk-up. It is laughable. I find it hilarious and extremely sad — at the same time. It’s hilarious because, [...]
Tesco Mobile: A new phone every year
This is a rather alluring message for those in Tesco Mobile’s target demographic, harking back to the good-old-days when mobile operator Finance Directors were a lot more liberal with their subsidy budget. There are many, many people who still can’t stand the thought of an 18-month or 24-month commitment, despite the fact that almost every [...]
Senior Mobile Market 2010: Stirling Moss is speaking!

There’s still time to register — the event is on July 6th in London. Here are the details from one of the organisers, [...]
Are you at MEM2010 tomorrow & Wednesday?
It’s a busy week this week. This evening is the MEFFYs award ceremony and tomorrow, MEM2010 starts. MEM stands for Mobile Entertainment Market and I always thoroughly enjoy the event. Last year I moderated a panel and this year, I’m delighted to be moderating another one. Here’s the subject: The Apps Explosion: What Does the [...]
It’s the MEFFY’s tonight!
I’m looking forward to the MEFFYs tonight — the MEFFYs, hosted by the Mobile Entertainment Forum — have swiftly become one of the most prestigious ceremonies on the awards calendar, highlighting the best the mobile entertainment industry has to offer. It’s not just about winning awards or being shortlisted though (congratulations to those on the [...]
