Use your iPhone for home security.

Use your iPhone for home security.

I was just browsing around the internet looking for something to do with the iPhone. I’ll admit, for the most part I wasn’t impressed until I came across Mobiscope. I’m not a security conscious person, and nor am I one to want to set up a webcam with it’s own I.P address so I can [...]

Ubik – Free Mobile Site Creation

The iPhone arrives tomorrow: I don’t like it already.

I’m not sure if you’re already aware, but Ewan has sent me a first generation iPhone for me to have a play around with. But also, I’m not too hung up on the device either! I’ve mentioned this before (and no, I’m not complaining), but the iPhone really isn’t my cup of tea. I’m not [...]

Results Day and my Mobile Phone!

Tomorrow, it’s GCSE results day. This means two things – feeling extremely sick, and using my mobile phone a lot! I haven’t really thought about the communications side of tomorrow much, seeing as I’m more worried about everything else.

MusicStation: Music downloading that works for mobiles!

When Ewan informed me of a music downloading service for £1.99 a week, that was actually good, I honestly thought he was pulling my leg. It was either that, or the service was seriously flawed. I was wrong. MusicStation is quite simply, pretty amazing. What I thought really couldn’t work, or ever be good (especially [...]

Why do the British send more texts?

I was reading the OFCOM report that came out earlier this week, and I was intrigued, naturally, with the segment on the mobiles. According to the figures we send around over forty more text messages than the French or Germans do; and I want to know why? OFCOM believe it’s something to do with the [...]

Blyk – The End is nigh.

Blyk and I are now officially no more. I thought that maybe there was a chance of reconciliation, I was severely misled, and quite possibly slightly delirious, but who could blame me for wanting something to work? I learnt yesterday after a meeting with the Blyk Manager of User Experience that it isn’t just poor [...]

SOS: Samsung helping the victims of bullying and crime.

I was just browsing the Carphone Warehouse site, and noticed the “Back to School” offers they have. This however wasn’t what I was interested in; it was something called SOS Messaging. SOS messaging according to the CPH website is: “Feeling in danger? Simply press the volume key 4 times on your phone to discreetly alert [...]

Youth Review: Sagem Ice

I received the Sagem Ice off of our very own Ben Smith last week, and to be honest, I was a little excited. My very first mobile was a Sagem; it went by the very un-catchy name of the MC 3000, but that didn’t matter – I loved the thing. Sagem, and mobiles in general [...]
