I can’t believe it even qualifies as to be called a ‘client’. Sort it out Evernote. I’ve been patient for a long time. Developing on BlackBerry isn’t a sodding black art. Three times I’ve gone to look something up with the piece-of-shit 1995 BlackBerry client and had to stand about while the app loads the [...]

Any iPhone 3GS users having problems with 4.0?
Got this mail in from a reader… Ewan, hi I am struck by anecdotal reports of 3GS users who have updated to OS4 saying that their phone now regularly reboots 3-4 minutes into a call, so much so that they need to use another phone for business calls as Apple provides no way of switching [...]
Apple iPhone 4 reputation irrevocably damaged?
Now my headline is based on a small number of direct samples. But I think it’s a useful barometer to consider. Although Apple have hitherto sold a whopping 3 million iPhones in the 20-something days since the official device launch, I wonder how much sales are going to be hit by the recent antennagate fiasco? [...]
Mobile App Store downloads to hit 980.23 trillion by 2011
[insert breathless press release introduction] [insert some additional speculation from press release] [insert a quote from the analyst] [insert a summary editorial point] I trust you got the point of this post.
Acer UK want me to buy them an Acer Liquid. Have you got one I can buy?
Well then, I knew this moment would come. I’ve been running Mobile Industry Review for almost 5 years now and I’ve never had a problem with review units — up until now. For those who are unaware, here’s how the process works. If you’re known by the handset PR team, they’ll usually drop you an [...]
I’ve deployed Mobile Developer TV with Ovi App Wizard
Whilst the challenges continue with Nokia, one of the recent shining lights for me is the Ovi App Wizard system. It enables you to specify a few RSS feeds, a logo and some colours… and boom, an application is created that works on almost all Ovi-compatible handsets. It’s ridiculously easy to use. Just register and [...]
Part 4, Andy Munarriz of HulloMail
The Future of Voicemail I’ve been getting emails from people wondering when the next episode in the Future of Voicemail Series was going live. Tah dah! It’s here. Episode 4 features the co-founder of HulloMail, Andy Munarriz. Andy’s no stranger to Mobile Industry Review — indeed we first interviewed him on camera about two years [...]
British Airways Mobile Apps are looking very smart
I have to say I am thoroughly impressed with the new British Airways mobile applications. Of course, I haven’t used them in anger yet, but I am very much looking forward to doing so. Like most companies getting involved in the mobile platform, British Airways recognise the iPhone, BlackBerry and Android platforms. Nokia is persona [...]
Look into my eyes… there is NO antennagate
Steve and Co. at Apple have just been on stage explaining that there isn’t a problem with their antenna. They are offering all iPhone 4 customers a free case to mitigate the problem. And, of course, a refund to anyone who wants one. I think this is the way ahead. I think it’s right to [...]
LogMeIn Ignition challenge: Watch the World Cup & Work
Now that the World Cup is over and the Spanish parties are more or less over, I wanted to document a challenge I’ve been running for myself. Can I use LogMeIn’s Ignition iPad (or iPhone) application to work-from-home effectively and efficiently? You’re no doubt aware of LogMeIn. It’s a service that enables you to control [...]
Oh dear… Microsoft Windows Phone 7 is labelled a ‘disaster’
What is up with Microsoft at the moment? Recently a good colleague of mine — who used to work there — pointed out that Microsoft will simply drop a billion each time to try and get their mobile strategy correct. If initial reports of the Windows Phone 7 system are to be believed, it looks [...]
BlackBerry Messenger commercials: Nice
Have you caught the BlackBerry Messenger commercials playing on Youtube recently? I’m very much enjoying them — not least because they do well to highlight the value of the application (and thus, the platform and the device). Here’s one of them: You can view all the BBM commercials here. Smart work, BlackBerry.
