The Sun, the biggest newspaper in the UK, consistently sets the agenda for the mainstream media throughout the country and often abroad. I remember being sat in the news studio of one of the biggest mainstream news providers at 5am, a while back, and asking one of the chaps what the ‘stories’ were going to [...]

Hyundai hits the UK mobile handset market with 15 handsets en route
The global behemoth, Hyundai, has entered the UK mobile handset market. Big time. There’s no toe-in-the-water nonsense from Hyundai. Nope. They’re hitting the market with 2, followed by 10 to 15 new handsets this year. That’s THE FIRST HALF of this year. Come on! A little bit of competition, eh? Plus you might get a [...]
Nokia N97 hits the Expansys store
You can pre-order a Nokia N97 this morning at Expansys. Granted, they don’t even have a rough cost yet, but you can sign-up now to be notified the moment they can sell you one. I reckon it’ll be, what, 700 quid plus initially? The 6 month wait is really, really annoying. That’ll fly by though…
New mobile BBC iPlayer hits beta
A blog post has appeared on the BBC informing of a new iPlayer mobile website in beta trials, plus support for new phones. Posted by Richard Titus, the new Future Media Controller, Audio & Music and Mobile goes on to highlight some interesting new developments. We’re probably all well aware the iPhone was the first [...]

** UPDATE** G1 white version hits T-mobile, S’now Joke ** UPDATE**
Wandering out of a blizzard is the latest version of the Android based mobile to appear, now in the colour of white from T-mobile’s online store. As it’s been around in black now for a while and since they’re dealing with ‘negative’ press coverage all the time, why not produce a negative colour version. The [...]
Vodafone Storm launched today; hits shops on 14th
As we reported the other day, Vodafone’s Storm Blackberry is launched officially today in the UK. That means you can pre-order it, here. You can have one free on £35 a month for TWO YEARS (yikes) which includes 600 minutes and ‘unlimited’ texts. Here’s Ian Shepherd, Consumer Director of Vodafone UK talking about the device: [...]
Truphone hits the Blackberry
Fresh from winning Gadgetfest last week, Truphone is now ready for the Blackberry (The OMmeister has the goss). It’s most certainly beta. You don’t NEED to have a WiFi capable Blackberry — but I reckon it helps. Provided you’ve got the right version of the software, you should be Truphoning in record time by pointing [...]
Comes With Music hits 3UK
3UK, previously one of the top electronic music retailers in the UK after iTunes, is embracing Nokia’s Comes With Music offering. Interestingly, it’s hitting their N95 8GB handsets – not the standard 5000 series devices. And that makes a lot of sense. If you already have an N95 8GB then you won’t qualify. I understand [...]
Symbian Smartshow hits London today
And we are most definitely there. With bells on. To be clear this is the…er.. ‘Smartphone Show‘. Although it’s referred to as the ‘Symbian Smartphone Show’. Are they the sponsors now? I originally thought it was all about symbian only. But Blackberry are exhibiting. So are Motorola, Sony and Samsung. Nokia’s unusually nowhere to be [...]
AQA hits 15m question-mark; 2m customers
I got this in from Paul Cockerton of AQA. It’s out first non-press release, news item, ever. I think it works quite well. Instead of sending me a press release, Paul’s knocked me over this letter. Good man! – – – – – Hi Ewan, Just to let you know we passed 15 million questions [...]
