Today’s Independent Newspaper leads with the question, "Is Apple Losing Its Touch?" The article by Stephen Foley summarises how we got here (i.e. the ‘death grip’ issue) and then goes on to dissect Apple’s most recent open letter ("What Apple wrote, and what it meant").

Women in Mobile Data luncheon — 23rd July — be there!
Women in Mobile Data is an excellent organisation advancing the female cause within the mobile industry. Pick any mobile company and you’re virtually guaranteed to find it 97% male. It’s not necessarily a deliberate thing, it’s just — well — historically, the mobile industry has been extremely boring. It’s been about wires, pipes, microwave dishes [...]

If you’ve just got hold of a brand new iPhone 4, you will most probably have addressed the thorny issue of insurance.

We’ve made the frontpage of Ovi App Wizard
Thanks to OscarB for pointing out that the Mobile Industry Review app has made the Ovi App Wizard frontpage. I wonder if that’s because I recently updated our Ovi Store application with a dedicated Nokia news feed for any posts tagged with the word ‘nokia’. This post should be right at the top in that [...]
Mobile Industry Review Forums are live!
Last night I soft-launched the Mobile Industry Review Forums. I’ve held of forums for a long, long time. My reasoning was that if you had something to say you’d either email me or you’d post a comment on the site. One of the curiosities with the MIR audience is that — generally speaking — you [...]
BlackBerry 6.0 is looking very good
I made a note to post the BlackBerry 6.0 promo video that was released recently. The video shows off some of the rather cool new features that the 6.0 OS will support, including a funky new browser (well, seriously improved), integrated search across the device, along with numerous UI improvements (plus the likes of pinch/zoom). BlackBerry [...]
Your iPhone 4 is ‘not hooked up right’ — it’s official
Well then, the iPhone 4 is officially a dud. David Letterman just ran a ‘Top 10 signs you’ve purchased a bad iPhone 4′ feature. That’s the iPhone 4′s “problems” (whether you think they’re real or imagined) now in the American public consciousness. The American media is of course jumping on the bandwagon — and before [...]
9 questions for RIM’s Sanyu Kiruluta, EMEA developer team lead
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Sanyu Kiruluta quite often. She oversees the BlackBerry Developer Relations team in EMEA for RIM. Sanyu and the team recently held a developer day in London that I unfortunately wasn’t able to get to. So I asked if I could fire some questions for Sanyu at a later date [...]

Got an iPhone 4? How is it working out for you?
Reader Kevin Wright was moved to pen this post in response to the stream of iPhone 4 posts over the past few days. In the key paragraph, Kevin points out that his iPhone 4 is absolutely fine: OK, so to the point of this, the Signal Issue. I have been using the iPhone 4 for [...]
