Well then, the all new Nokia N8 has been revealed this morning. We had a brief introduction from the product manager and then — tah dah — we were each handed our own N8 prototype to play with. The hardware is more or less decided but the software is still under development. Here are some [...]

Secret handset tests this morning
I’m on the train right now heading to London Paddington. At the station I need to double back on myself twice to make sure I’m not being followed. Then I have to head to a currently undisclosed location for the briefing. That’s right, it’s time for a super-secret initial hands-on and demonstration of a handset [...]
My unlimited data Google Search Story
I made the following video with Google’s Search Story service. The first search? For the definition of “Unlimited”. Heh. Have a good weekend…
New Video Series: Is the mobile marketing industry too obsessed with smartphones?
Is the mobile marketing industry far too obsessed with smartphones? That’s the question I’ll be asking in a new video series coming soon to Mobile Industry Review in association with OpenMarket, the leading global mobile transaction hub. In the wake of Clarityn’s apparent success at achieving 70,000 downloads of their iPhone pollen count application, I [...]
Mutually assured patent wars: Apple ‘going to get very badly burned’
Here’s a column from Cat Keynes who publishes her thoughts on the mobile phone industry every Sunday at www.catkeynes.com. She’s pretty direct with her thoughts.

INQ is planning Android devices for Q4
I’m pleased to read that INQ is planning to introduce some Android devices toward the end of this year. I’ve really been impressed with the company’s attention to detail and their brilliant, funky marketing activities. It’s not good news for Qualcomm as Om Malik notes in his post today. INQ currently uses their BREW OS [...]
iPhone 4: 14 days to go!
I am enjoying o2′s marketing of the iPhone. I signed up for iPhone updates from them last week and I’ve already had two emails. They’re pitching it just right: It’s really interesting to see a mobile operator market in this manner. The other day they sent over the price plans. Today they’ve sent me a [...]
Vodafone UK wouldn’t sell Steve a phone!
You can’t make it up, you really can’t. Steve Rowlands walked into a Vodafone shop recently to buy an HTC Desire. He was still in his 24-month contract and thus expecting to be asked to fork out a lot of cash for the privilege of swapping to the Desire. (By the way, Steve is another [...]
Orange will follow o2 with data caps on price plans – source
There is a substantial amount of consternation across the geek community at the rather limiting new data policies from o2. Whereas before most customers enjoyed a fair use data policy of 1GB, the company’s new plans introduce a monthly data cap of 500MB. If you go over this, you’ll then have to buy another 500MB [...]
Ditch that ‘ring ring’ with Ringtagz
What’s a ‘Ringtag’? Ringtagz are music or sounds your mates hear when they call you instead of the usual ‘ring ring’. These videos explain what they’re all about… using the international language of sock puppetry. I wonder if the European mobile operators are finally recognising that there’s a heck of a lot of casual revenue [...]
AppsFire has had enough; withdraws from iTunes App Store
AppsFire, the app discovery service has decided to pull it’s app from the iTunes App Store citing quite a few different issues, most notably the fact that it took months for the app store team to respond to some of their queries.
