Nokia World: The gossip, the joy, the heartache

Monday, December 1st, 2008

Alas I am not at Nokia World. Commitments here in the UK prevented it. A total arse.

Thank you to the chaps at Nokia — Ray in particular — for their understanding and flexibility. Instead, we’ve sent our roving reporter, RobK, to Barcelona, courtesy of Nokia.

Rob’s planning some mini-summaries, overviews and, of course, a full dollop of news from the show.

I’m looking forward to some news from Nokia. They’ve been a bit quiet of late and I’m really hoping that the ‘we’re an internet company’ mentality is seeping through the company’s heart and that some of the next devices, services and policies will shock, delight and awe us.

Bring it on Nokia!

More gossip on the Vodafone/Dell Inspiron

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

Just got another release through from Vodafone about their new Netbook…

Available from mid October, the Dell Inspiron Mini 9 will be sold at vodafone.co.uk, Vodafone retail stores and through corporate account managers. Interested customers can pre-register at www.vodafone.co.uk/netbooks.

Starting from free with a 24-month contract, the Inspiron Mini 9 is the perfect Internet companion, delivering connectivity in a slim, sleek, piano black design. Complete with a Vodafone SIM, and pre-installed mobile broadband connectivity software, the Mini 9 eliminates the need to use an additional USB modem to connect to the web. Digital nomads and avid Web surfers alike will be able to connect to the UK’s fastest and most reliable mobile broadband network* anytime, anywhere, whether on the road, or on-the-go, while surfing the Web, chatting with friends, or enjoying their favourite online videos and music.

“More and more consumers want an easy and quick way to connect to the Internet, but there are times when they also want to catch up with emails on a screen larger than a mobile without compromising portability. We have taken the natural step to marry together great ultra-mobile technology with the UK’s fastest and most reliable mobile broadband service,” says Nick Read, CEO of Vodafone UK.

“Thanks to the very compact size of the Inspiron Mini 9, and the Vodafone built-in Internet access, customers can now use a single device to log on and access their emails, read the latest news headlines, or update their blog or social networking page as they travel home from work on the train or while they take a break for coffee.”
