The Deltenna WiBE has arrived in the office
The world’s most reliable MiFi? This is the daddy of the MiFi world, delivering a phenomenally good data signal almost anywhere — especially in the middle of nowhere with a very faint data signal. Posted via email from MIR Live
MWC: I’m doing video interviews at the MEF party – interested?
I’ve managed to work out an arrangement with the Mobile Entertainment Forum (“MEF”) team for the upcoming Mobile World Congress event. MEF traditionally host one of the sexiest parties of MWC on the Monday night. This year the event is being held at the Museu Picasso from 8pm. MIR is the media partner for the [...]
Developers: Ignoring other platforms could be bad for your health
Have you checked out instagr.am on the iPhone, the photo sharing/manipulation application? Well, the developers of instagr.am (who just nabbed $7m) haven’t bothered with other mobile platforms as yet. Conventional wisdom is that you do iPhone first.

Finally Nokia is getting attention from the West
It’s nice to see Nokia sentiment from the Western media temporarily switched to positive. Or at least almost-positive.

It’s good to see the company getting [...]

It’s that time of year again! Mobile World Congress is fast approaching. You can STILL get a hotel. You can STILL get a cheap flight. But there’s the small matter of the €649 ticket entry cost, right? Well kudos to BlackBerry. They’ve got 8 tickets for me to give away to Mobile Industry Review readers. [...]
This little device is helping me, no thanks to SFR
What a flipping arse. I’m sat in a cafe at the Gare du Nord station in Paris. I thought I’d avail myself of the in-station WiFi. Absolutely shit. Fast, it seems. But shit. If you’re not a customer of a French network, you have to give your sodding life story to sign-up to a X [...]
Let’s kill ‘unlimited’ once and for all?
Ben Smith over at the all new Wireless Worker site makes a rather challenging point about the mobile data market: We have a chance – let’s kill ‘unlimited’ once and for all The word ‘unlimited’ has been abused too much and too long by telecoms companies to be rehabilitated. It should be killed off now we [...]

If you’ve been wondering what the all new Samsung Galaxy S handset is looking right, I’ve got a sponsored video for you to have a look at courtesy of the chaps at Samsung: (When you click, it’ll pop-up a nicer, bigger video) And while I’m at it, here’s the a look at the Samsung Wave [...]
PlayBook and BlackBerry working together: Very swish
There’s been quite a lot of concern in the marketplace about how the PlayBook will ‘work’ with email, with a data connection and so on. As the launch of the PlayBook gets nearer, it’s getting pretty clear that RIM have really thought about how many of their executives will be using the device in concert [...]
