This is a sponsored post on behalf of Unruly Media and Halifax Bank. And although it’s not strictly mobile based, I have to admit, I was particularly impressed at how Halifax have engineered the tool.

Vodafone’s dongles: Broadband for the luddite generation
I have to say, Vodafone UK is seriously, seriously disappointing when it comes to mobile broadband. I’ve been sitting enjoying both my unlocked Novatel Wireless MiFi unit for quite some time, but I’m hugely frustrated for the rest of the Vodafone marketplace not able to easily enjoy the benefits of MiFi. Pop over to challenger [...]
3′s next-gen MiFi unit powering iPlayer without breaking a sweat

T3 Magazine equates girls in swimsuits to phone models. Choose one…
I was browsing through the featured publications on Zinio’s iPad app today and came across the August digital edition of T3 Magazine. It’s worth a passing glance, I think.

I got hold of one of the new 3 Mobile WiFi units last week and I’ve been putting it through it’s paces. Regular readers will know that my opinion on MiFi was set to ‘ultra positive’ ever since I tested the Novatel Wireless device last year. Dongles are for dunces. A separate unit that enables [...]
Apple’s iPhone 4 antenna issue ridiculed on Top Gear
Did anyone else notice the Apple iPhone 4 reference in last nigh’s Top Gear episode? When Jeremy Clarkson was introducing The Stig, he started with… “Some say.. if you hold him in the wrong way, he doesn’t work properly…” Cutting!

3′s new MiFi device
I thought it was fitting to take a picture of 3′s new MiFi unit operational. In this photo the iPhone is connected to the MiFi unit whilst it uploads the unboxing video! The best feature of the new device, apart from the rather funky screen? The always-on element. You just switch it on and boom, [...]
