I came across this post by Emma over at Gizmag who reports that the airline Cathay Pacific is planning to launch 50mb broadband connectivity to passengers by 2012. This week, the airline confirmed an agreement with Panasonic Avionics Corporation to provide broadband access across its entire fleet, as well as call and data access for [...]

Join the MIR BlackBerry Messenger Group for a week
Yesterday, reader Mike added me as a contact on BlackBerry Messenger. He wanted to check out BlackBerry Messenger — and he hadn’t actually tried out BlackBerry Messenger Groups. I was delighted to help. BBM Groups are actually really, really funky. But if you’ve been sat with a ‘business’ BlackBerry, primarily using it for email, you [...]
HulloMail update their iPhone app
The chaps over at HulloMail (kind sponsors of the Future of Voicemail video series here on MIR) have released the next version of their iPhone application.

Team HTC-Columbia are currently whizzing through Stage 6 of the Tour de France bicycle race and right now, one of the riders, Maxime Monfort (age 27) is traveling at 36km/h and is delivering 241 Watts of power on top of a 102bpm heart rate. How do I know this? Well his HTC Legend phone is [...]
Sharapova unboxes the X10 Mini Pro
Instead of the usual shakeycam-blogger-unboxing, Sony Ericsson enlisted tennis pro, Maria Sharapova, to help unbox their latest Sony Ericsson X10 Pro. Now you’ll remember me raving over the X10 Mini a few weeks ago (such a small device running Android… just brilliant), well, the next model in that range is the ‘Pro’ and the key [...]

I’ve just taken delivery of 3UK’s next generation Mobile WiFi hotspot unit, the Huawei E585. This second edition even better looking than the first edition — boasting a nice new integrated display and enhanced hardware. How will it perform? Well, I know 3 has one of the fastest data networks going so I have high [...]
T-Mobile UK and the iPhone 4: Finally

He points out that the news isn’t yet confirmed from T-Mobile but that his source has been reliable in the past. Head over to his post to read all the pricing details. If true, it’s not [...]
“iPhone 4 in stock today”: Depressing & Exciting
Ah dear me. I am both elated and saddened by the fact that walking through the City of London today, Vodafone stores I’m passing are filled with small, but determined queues of people buying iPhones. This is weeks after the actual launch day. I popped into one store and had a chat with one of [...]
Microsoft Kin: 503 units sold = huge screw up
I haven’t done much on the Microsoft Kin as it’s been focused around a small segment in North America, but goodness me, it seems they’ve hit the wall rather badly if these ‘well placed tips’ are to be believed: Claims that Microsoft may have sold just 500 Kin phones before the end may have been [...]
Some good Nokia discussion going on here
I just wanted to draw your attention to this recent Nokia-related post — not the content per se, but the discussion going on underneath. As usual (if you follow my Nokia posts), reader Alex (who, coincidentally is a Symbian developer) takes me to task for some of my statements in the post. I then got [...]
