Don’t be put off by the current hoopla taking place in Las Vegas at CES right now. Mobile World Congress is most definitely the daddy of the mobile event calendar. For quite some time now I’ve been attending lunches, evening briefing sessions and participating in teleconferences discussing the Barcelona event. Most of the time I’ve [...]

Impressed by Vodafone UK’s support service
I was searching earlier for the Vodafone UK APN settings. I know the details off by heart but I wanted to confirm nothing had changed since I last messed around setting up the APN on an unlocked Android device. I came across this rather helpful Vodafone official site. Genius. I’m delighted. This kind of clear, [...]
Unlocking the Verizon Motorola Droid Pro for use in the UK
A colleague of mine arrived back into the UK recently with one of Motorola’s latest Android devices, the Droid Pro (otherwise known as ‘the one with the QWERTY keyboard’). The Pro has been raising a lot of eyebrows recently given the addition of the physical keyboard — something that’s been keeping many an executive tied [...]
Dominos UK: We made a million quid from our iPhone app
Matt Brian over at The Next Web has published news that Dominos UK, the pizza delivery company, has made a whopping £1 million in revenue from it’s iPhone app in the last three months. Coincidentally, Pizza Hut made the same amount (in dollars) from their iPhone app back in 2009, in the same time period. [...]

Congratulations to the team at Rightmove who, today, celebrate achieving 1 million iPhone application downloads and 100,000 iPad application downloads. Rightmove is one of the UK’s leading property aggregation sites and, for a long time, I’ve been a regular user whenever the topic of property has arisen. My wife regularly sits back on the sofa [...]
iHealth Blood Pressure Dock arrives to fundamentally change healthcare
The iHealth Blood Pressure dock launches today. It’s simply fantastic. This product heralds a fundamental change in the way that healthcare metrics will be obtained, delivered and managed. The interactive or e-health marketplace is growing substantially. Indeed last year I saw a tiny pill at Qualcomm’s offices that — no word of a lie — [...]
Why all Apple users are rubbish [linkbait]
This post is not about rubbish Apple users! In the past two days I’ve written some rather direct commentary regarding the iPhone and the iPad. Quite a few readers have been outraged. Outraged, I tell you! Shocked and saddened. Horrified. Deeply worried, surprised and concerned for the well-being of the site. All because I’ve posted [...]
The BlackBerry PlayBook browser wiping the floor with iPad v1
Kevin over at CrackBerry published this video from the chaps at RIM showing off the PlayBook’s fantastic web capabilities. You’ll see full motion video working via HTML5 from the browser — and you’ll even see a flash game working on Facebook’s full browser. No need for mobile support. Pinch zooming works nicely and the browser [...]
The iPhone is the market’s Fisher Price smartphone: It’s time to reach beyond!
I’ve had enough of the iPhone being considered a ‘category-leading‘ device. It’s even worse when I hear people refer to the iPhone as a ‘smartphone’. I don’t think there’s much smart about it. I think it’s a beautiful experience. For about 20 minutes. There’s absolutely no way I could use an iPhone, in it’s current [...]
