Having just taken on a new role I’m having to get another mobile phone and mobile number. It’s not such a big problem and, because I’m on Orange, I’ll just grab a BlackBerry for work but it has left me frustrated at Samsung and all of the mobile operators I’ve called this morning. The Samsung [...]

Is it the holiday season already
It’s now August and the kids have begun playing in the square outside my flat. Well, they do when it’s not pouring down. So, I’m beginning to really look forward to a holiday too. Its booked for a couple of weeks time and I’ve not even contemplated anything I’ll need. I guess the mad rush [...]
Santa, the Easter Bunny and the iPhone nano
The Daily Mail – yes that paragon of equal rights, a paper that is not in the least bit conservative – has announced a nice piece of news about the iPhone. There will be a nano version in time for Crimbo. I’m not so sure but according to the defender of traditional values: “The product [...]
Oops, did I let slip Nokia will be working on a Zune Phone
I think the phrase goes something like this: Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes. I’m not normally a Microsoft fan, hence I love the open source FreeRunner, but I am getting excited about the Zune Phone. I guess I just like competition for the market leader – so bring it on (oh dear… that [...]
An iPhone and a holier than thou feeling – sign me up now
How’s the battery life in your new iPhone 3G. I haven’t got one yet, in fact I’ve just signed up to a BlackBerry instead. It’s not because of the battery life. And it’s not that I don’t think the iPhone isn’t impressive (albeit there are several things missing). It’s because I’m on Orange and so [...]
Flat pack phones, arguments and queues – no it’s not the O2 store on iPhone launch day
It may seem rather sad but my knowledge of Scandinavia is relatively poor. If you take out Skiing, the fjords and, as Monty Python once said, “the løveli lakes” and “the wonderful telephøne system”, I’m left with Ikea and mobile phones. And now the last two have joined up. Business Week, the Guardian and Silicon [...]
Apple admits something’s wrong… Well it couldn’t exactly deny it
Has anyone else been following this MobileMe fiasco? If you haven’t then click here. You back with me? Good. I’m not sure what’s impressed me more, that an Apple application doesn’t simply work or that the company has kept users updated. Apple has demanded that one of its staff blog on the subject. The opening [...]
Sorry mate, you can’t come in… you’re wearing a Nokia
I don’t have an iPhone and I’m not Japanese so I’m a touch envious of one new service for… er, Japanese iPhones. This week saw the launch of an online video rental portal made just for the iPhone. The service comes from Posren, a Japanese equivalent of Blockbuster, and offers a range of options the [...]
Bluetooth RIP
You’ve got to love bluetooth technologies. I remember when it was merely a way to alert the coffee pot you were near and that it needed to start percolating, and quickly. Gone are the days when people are struggling to think of applications for it. In fact, if there’s not a CSR bluetooth chip in [...]
Just what we need in the 02 store – bored celebs on phones
You know how it is. You’re a marketing manager and sick to the back teeth with your company’s advertising. The only adverts they ever put out are celebrity “I use this” posters for shops and the odd advert. Lets face it, it wasn’t the best of jobs. Kimi Räikkönen seemed a tad dull. Michael Schumacher [...]
Mobiles could be the key in disaster zones.
It’s odd to think about your own mortality but a recent story has got me doing just that. And I’ve come to the conclusion that should there be an earthquake and I was trapped under the building my mobile would leave me to die a slow agonising death. Its battery is simply not strong enough. [...]
(Red) apples
I have just realised how shallow I am. Up until this point I didn’t want an iPhone. In fact, I once got into trouble with a client that made the iPhone’s audio chips, Wolfson, because I badmouthed the iPhone shortly before its launch. The gist of the rant, which I still believe, was I only [...]
